I was pulling a fast one on cellos because he was pulling a fast one on us, the fact that u had tobexplain it and that you two took it seriously is pretty depressing to be quite honest

Sunday weather update - Sao Paulo braced for thunderstorms
Welcome to race day for the Brazilian Grand Prix, the 18th and concluding round of the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship.
The weather could yet have a major influence on the outcome. Despite a dry start to Sunday, thunderstorms are expected in the region during the day, when the ambient temperature high will be 24 degrees Celsius.
The race starts at 1500 hours local time, which is two hours behind GMT, and runs over 71 laps of the 4.309 kilometre track (2.677 mile), or 305.909 kilometres (190.067 miles).
I almost want Massa to do this, if only to see the crowd reaction. Lewis has been the better driver this year and for a driver like Massa to win a WDC would be painful. However his results have been better and without the blow up in Hungary it would be a foregone conclusion so I guess he would deserve it too.
Man, if Massa actually wins this (WDC), I'll take my clothes off and run around my neighbourhood with joy! JOY I TELLS YE!
Wait, what?
James Allen said:I was always pretty confident that when Murray decided to retire I would get the gig, but never anything less than utterly self-critical and seeking to improve with every race and every year, which I think I?ve done.
It?s a very difficult and high-pressure job, because with 20 cars there are 20 different points of focus.
You have to read the race, using a TV picture and the timing screens, while speaking at the same time and still leave spare brain capacity for talking to the producer and thinking about what comes next.
And as it?s live and it?s all happening very quickly it?s very easy to make a mistake, which is why you always need to allow yourself a margin.
Having a brilliant communicator like Martin Brundle as a partner helps a great deal too.
I take a journalistic approach to commentary, I?m a storyteller; it?s my job to tell the story, not to be the story.
Of course there are many people at home in their armchairs who think they could do it better and one of the challenges for me was that I replaced Murray just as the internet opened up to allow everyone to have their say in chat rooms and forums.
But I know from market research and viewer feedback that the pros massively outnumber the vocal minority of cons.
I?m very proud of the work that we have done with the North One production team over the years and we have 2 BAFTAs and 12 Royal Television Society awards to prove that the TV industry, like most viewers, rate our work very highly.
