Lewis Hamilton

Wow, thanks Ian - your check is in the mail

 

Correct! It's only Sean Connery who hates the English

 

The way our education system is going I wouldn't be too surprised - but I'm probably just seeing it from the perspective of a grumpy old man.

 

On my life, who you calling a jerk.....do you mean SENTENCE.!!!

aha YOU CHANGED IT SHARPISH

 

Oops, you forgot the apostrophe in drivers.

 

Hehe... Scot v Brits, Oh sorry English !! grammer/spelling lessons what's next..

 

From Webster's Dictionary:

Prejudice: An unfavorable or favorable opinion formed without knowledge, thought or reason.

Bigotry: Stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.

So please tell me how those words that you used applied to what I had to say?

 

We could go in all sorts of directions Steve, but maybe we're more than far enough off topic.

 

The point is, if you don't like someone's opinion, then debate using facts, not grammer insults, and personal attacks. Stick to the facts at hand. Why start a thread that you know will be highly contested, and then get bent out of shape when you are presented with multiple points of view. The FACTS are, the guy has driving talent, and is winning races, but that is all as of yet. Schumacher HAS 7 world championships, Senna HAS 3 championships. Hamilton is most likely going to be in the Hakkinen realm. Perhaps a few championships, good driver, smart driver, but legendary, I don't think so.

 

Like has been posted before in the thread, no-one is comparing him to the drivers you mentioned, only the folks that dont rate him as highly, and you are one of those, The later part of your above post is suffice, and clearly you haven't appeared to take any of this on board. ok ...

 

That maybe true, but Hami has yet to prove his greatness to this point. Until he does, I'm not sure the bell of greatness should be rung. Your wait and see aproach in your last sentence I completely agree with.

 

True, sorry, whisky. I flunked O-level English but passed college drinking. And latin!! That's been very useful these past 40 years........

 

He's not wasting his time, he is responding calmly with facts and reasoning, you should try it, because right now you look like a guy who got his a$$ handed to him for being out of line. I appologize if my assesment of Lewis upset you, and I appologize for making a grammatical error on my post, none of us are perfect, and that goes for Mr. Hamilton as well.

 

"Most of you Scots wear your heart on your sleeve, so objective you are not."

I'm certain you didn't mean it the way it came across to me, but it did seem rude. Regardless, this is taking everything off topic so if it doesn't bother IanMac I need to let it go.

Back to the critique of Hamilton...

 

Agreed, I'll just let it go as well.

 

Good spot...... Now I'm really gonna hijack the thread (Sorry - no flames reqd.)

The short version: ancestors - Scandinavia - They're *all* called "Anders[e|o]n" up there

Jump in a boat, and Scotland is the first place "we" bump in to.

Do some rape and pillage stuff, then keep going South - These Scottish dudes are *crazy* M/fkers - Let's go where the money is (?) and build a big a$$ wall while we're leaving...

My parents were both "true Cockneys" (born within the sound of Bowbells), and I therefore consider myself English (and a "Brit" for the olympics of course.)

Cheers, and apologies again for hijacking the thread,
Ian

 

LOL ... Always remember to pillage before you burn though..

 

TONY!!!!!

My friend how are YOU?????

A thread about Hamilton.

 

It's great to see you post again. I'll send a PM to not bore everyone here!
