Maybe you should go to the circus instead, that would be more your speed. Still, there's no reason why kimi couldn't at least smile when he wins the race, instead of standing there looking like his dog just died. He smiled once. |

Seriously? Why do Finnish surnames seem to always end in nen? Hakkinen Raikkonen Kovalainen What does the nen bit stand for? Neanderthal Emotionless Nordic? I'd rather watch an episode of Thunderbirds or a Dolph Lundgren movie than the likes of Coulterd, Hakkinen, Raikkonen, Kovalainen and all the other Wankkonens and Jocks go round the track. They should be banned from F1 for being dull boring robotic wankers. John |

Other sports - Nurmi, Viren, Hyypiä, ...
Other fields - Jansson, Mannerheim, Snellman, Agricola
(Olavinpoika), Ahtisaari, Koivisto, Lönnrot, Kivi, Laiho, ...
Having said that, I did once write a 120 character perl script
which would split the list of Nokia employees on a mailing list
into Finns and non-Finns, and I had over a 99% accuracy rate.

If you like see men kissing and smiling to each other - go see the American Idol or some other fake entertainment shit. Leave the F1 to those who follow it for the sporting reasons. |
NASCAR-inspired tire/pitstop requirements, NASCAR-inspired engine
regulations, NASCAR-inspired customer chassis, NASCAR-inspired "safety
car" rules, NASCAR-inspired phony safety regulations...
....Sounds less like "sporting" and more like genuine fake
entertainment shit to me.
