i think this GP is going to be one of the best ones yet,i want kimi to win and i think he has the potential to,but i think it be awesome if it went down to the final race at japan.

the BMW staright line speed though is goin to be killer and cause problems for the others

[Jabba]

I for one will be glued to the TV today @ 6:15 PM....

Although unlikely Schuey could take the title today :D :D :D ...if Michael wins and Montoya comes less than 6th....

[stracing]

bmw is fast
but the ferrari is uber slippery aerodynamically. i also hope it rains, give the bridgestones some advantage.

i want schuey to win as well, but very unlikely. i can't remember who the last person won from seventh.

Nope good point....but I am finding it hard not to get excited for Ferrari....I cant even imagine what Schuey must be feeling right now...

Yep I got it last year as an xmas present to myself....

"It features a beer cooler built right into the arm of the chair that holds up to six full size cans. But that's not all. It also features a 10-motor massage and heat system and a telephone, making it, without a doubt, the coolest Bachelor Pad chair available.

The La-Z-Boy is a hand-made chair, so you are assured of a brand spanking new, leather smelling, grandiose chair fit for a king."

[stracing]

how much are one of those?

gis, are you going to "hit" her as well? :P

[TT]

Oh my god!! That lazy boy is supercool! In Friends they never showed all the features ;)

Anyway in my poor sofa, I'll be glued to the TV :D

[Jabba]

It cost £1,099 last year....but I see it has now gone upto £1,999.....I will try and get some pictures of it up later of it in action with the grand prix on...

here are some quotes from other people that have bought one....


This chair is great because you can store your beer in the fridge. Me and my girlfriend had a great time on it when we cranked up the massager. The phone is class as I don't have to leave my seat to order a pizza; it would be better though if I didn't have to leave my seat to get the pizza! And it also supplied comfort when for when I broke my leg. All round a bloody good chair, thanks Boys Stuff.
Andrew Wright, Kelso

Could this chair BE better? If there was toilet in it I could live this chair; a fridge for drinks a phone to call for food, a 10 motor massager and if you're feeling tense, turn up the heat... this is the chair that god must have, it makes other chairs obsolete. To make sure I'm comfortable in my next life I want to be buried in this chair.
Mitchell Stringer, Colchester

I thought and thought about buying one and then just did it - no regrets. Boys Stuff were amazingly prompt at delivery and it's been a relaxing home for my backside ever since!
MJK, Stoke on Trent

I'm gonna rip out my car seat and replace it with this, i'll never need to go home again. P.S If you buy this you'll never let anyone but you sit in it. It's the most comfortable thing on the planet.
Harry Shone, London

£1,099 is a lot to pay for a chair, and when I did, I did so with a little concern, and a lot of thought. All fears were immediately forgotten when assembled...it's a BARGAIN! It's a fantastically comfortable chair even before you recline, heat the seat, or put the massage system to use...and then the bonus of not leaving your chair for beers or to answer the phone? Genius, pure genius!! If you can...BUY ONE NOW! Well worth it!
Luke Griggs, York

I spent over a grand last year on osteopathic treatment. If only I had seen this sooner... I say slam on the Radio 7 from web link, get yer feet up and chill, laugh and then doze off to your fave Stevie (Wonder) album. A blessing for all blokes backs, bums and birds - there's room for two in this beaut!
The Bird, Hove

Had this chair 6 months now, wanted to give it a good test before reviewing it. All I can say is WOW!!! I now eat vast ammounts of beans so I can produce wicked smells in bed, that way I get sent to sleep downstairs on my La-Z-Boy. Heaven! Great staff to deal with and super fast delivery! Thanks Boys Stuff.
Justin Franklin, Great Yarmouth

The ultimate chair for the armchair loafer, with everything you need to keep you going through a Lord of the Rings DVD. Let's hope they make a La-z-boy toilet sooner rather than later!!
Philip Allely, Belfast

This armchair is the most awesome one I ever had! If I should recommend a gift to someone who has it all: THIS IS IT! Every person with this chair is a happy TV guru!
Torkil Skille, Norway - Lillehammer

If there was a god of chairs this would be the one that it got its orders from. This is the best thing since cavemen sat on rocks. I'm going to sell my bed so I can buy this.
Matt Rutter, Cambridge

After scrimping and saving, and robbin' my brother's pound jar (shh,don't tell him) I've finally bought one. Wow! Massager really works, fridge chills fast... I'm telling you now the only person I loved was myself, but now I think I love something better (I know it's hard but I feel like Joey from Friends) how you doaaiiin.... - deep breath I love the lazy-boy more than myself.
Tony Kutny, Keighley

The La-z-boy Oasis is just soo good, I can't wait until I get my credit card ....
Olly, Norwich

Just got my chair yesterday, as soon as sat in this chair I knew this was the best invention since the microwave!!!!
Glenn, Gillingham

This is the best thing that walked this Earth!! I seriously sold my bed and I just sleep in this!!
Gingerboy, Reading

Heaven! I'm already in the process of flogging my tired old bed to replace it with this piece of genius!
Andy, Glastonbury

Is this heaven? I think it may well be. Finally we can all watch TV the way it's meant to be watched. The only thing it can't do is cook - thank god there are women to do that for us, eh boys?
Greig, Ayrshire

DAMN! Is this chair good! There is a god, Lay-z-boy be thy name!
Matt, Bradford

You have got to check this out. Perfect for fat lazy bastards like us who find it a trial to get a beer when settled and the wife's not in. Just have to make sure she keeps it stocked!!
Richard, Witney

Wow what a chair! No longer shall I excercise my legs. I will become a grade A slob. Thank you.
0nigey Pie, Leeds

I didn't realise this is the one they have on the Friends TV sitcom... Mine's in black and my friends call me Joey. A real party animal chair - fridge holds loads of beer cans!
P. Hayles

Super quality, really impressed. Noticed the furniture stores want £1100 for the chair and £75 to deliver it. Boys Stuff charge £1050 and no delivery charge - that`s value.
Bryan Matthews, Darlington

Comfy and excellent quality. BT phone that's supplied is better than my digital one.
A. Rawlinson, Bromsgrove

There is a god... whoever invented this chair!
Matt, London

I would like to tell you how much I love this chair, I think it's the best invention yet for all the lazy people like me who just love to chill and relax. I have recently bought one and I am thoroughly pleased, especially the beer fridge. Nice work lads.
Karl

The best thing I have ever seen, heard of or sat in!
Olav van Lede

[gis]

how much are one of those?

gis, are you going to "hit" her as well? :P

if she came with it,would u have a choice,lol

dam jabba,thats awesome,ill just go cut a hole in my sofa now and stick a mini fridge in there :P

3 hours 30 mins to go wOOt

[stradale]

What an invention, a beer cooler in your chair! I want one in my sofa now.

I'm looking forward to the race today, but I don't think I'm going to like the results. I'm a Schumacher fan too and starting 7th from the grid is a bad sign. His worst results this season were when he was this far back on the grid. It's not a good track for overtaking as well. But, as one of you said, never count him out. Frank Williams once said, I believe it was in '95 or '96, that Schumacher, even in a soapbox, was to be reckoned with. :)

Good work from Panis, BTW!

[Jabba]

How about this beauty then ???

[Johns]

bwwhahahahahah...LMAO jabba :lol: :lol: where can I buy that set up :D

[Jabba]

[Jabba]

Well the time is almost here guys....good luck to all the teams that you are supporting..... especailly if the team is Ferrari !!! :wink:

GO SCHUEY GO :!: :!: :!:

:D :D :D

[PyroZona]

Oh...oh...oh...if only I could somehow manage to get one of those chairs like that dude who stole the F50!! Might be a tough getaway, though...La-Z-Boys just don't have the get-up-and-go that a Ferrari does. More like kick-back-and-veg.

And those airguns bring back some mouse-hunting memories for me...'cept I used a blow-dart gun with a laser sight on it. Heh...

Yep...I, too are primed and ready for a good F1 race today! I'd be happy to see Kimi take it, but would rather see Coulthard get back on the top of the podium (although he's not a contender for the championship). What happened to him? He hasn't done well at ALL this season! Oh well, as long as Schumi DOESN'T win (and not because of some unforseeable problem, either...I want someone to beat him, or just see him blow it). I know, I know...I'm such an ass! :twisted:

I really miss having the U.S. GP here in Phoenix, though. Our city government really threw away a great thing. Especially since I used to be able to hear the cars from my house!! I actually just found some pics I took from my "Honda Marlboro McLaren Paddock Suite"...which was located right on top of the McLaren pit area. I'll scan 'em and post 'em if anyone is interested in seeing some SERIOUSLY close-up shots of Senna and Prost in probably their most competitive season!

Wow...pretty good turnout this year, or so it looks. Except for the infield bleachers. Typical of Americans...most just don't appreciate REAL racing. Oh well, some of us do!

...and there's the start!! Man, there's NOTHING like the sound of a LIVE F1 start. I still remember it vividly. Makes your eyeballs vibrate furiously...awesome!

Pyro

[PyroZona]

Alright....I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Ferrari is cheating...somehow. I find it really difficult to believe that they can put the wrong tires on Schumi's car, causing him an extra, unnecessary pit stop, and still be leading by 22 seconds with 10 laps remaining. I'll admit that Schumi is a great driver....but he ain't THAT much better than the entire field!

Arrgghh....

Pyro

[Jabba]

hey no champagne yet alright?
we don't wanna jinx them

Well we got the champagne for winning the race and we will have some more champagne for winning the championship in a couple of weeks....

how can anyone write the "KING" off ???

Well done Ferrari and well done Shumi !!!! :D

[gis]

well well well,what did i say,dont count schuey out,and what happened,he fuckin won again,lol

congrats to him,great driver indeed.BUT in that race,if the rain hadnt come,he WOULDNT have won.1 point needed from the next race,not much of a task for the 5 time champion.

CONGRATS to sauber,very good race from them

[alondahan]

It was a GREAT RACE :D
And the greatest thing was seeing the reds win again :wink:

Shumi was so close to winning the world title, but we'll have to wait and see what happens in the next race.
How great is that? the chamionship is still open in the last race!!!

[stradale]

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!

What a great race! And of course I really liked the result too... I'm glad Schumi shut those Columbians on the stands at the straight up. Water is always good to seperate the men from the boys.

[TT]

Marvellous race! Schumi did very well despite he could have done better putting the correct tires during the first stop, but Michelins were pretty poor on the water so it wasn't really a big deal!

Biggest deception came from Button! I would have liked to see him on the podium!
But I'm happy for Frenzen, placing a Sauber on the podium finally!

And again, Kimi was good over the whole race and I still think he is better than Montoya.. more consistent, Hakkinen style.. so cold and determined.. kind of remind me Gronhölm :)

Anyway for the championship.. only a miracle can steal the title from Schumi's hands now :)

[jon_s]

Great race, one of the best of the season....feel sorry for Button. Congrats to Schumi, I have a lot of respect for what he has done. Montoya- can a man have more bad luck?? :?

[Jabba]

Great race, one of the best of the season....feel sorry for Button. Congrats to Schumi, I have a lot of respect for what he has done. Montoya- can a man have more bad luck?? :?

Yes think of Barrichello...really really enjoyable and entertaining race though....great stuff :D :D :D

[stracing]

well i guess i'll be eating my words
heres a what if: what if montoya didn't punt barrichello of the road? barichello could of been 2nd and montoya bad tyre choice would of put him down the field.

but the race was excellent, my heart was pumping hard thru the whole race

[possessed_beaver]

Well the time is almost here guys....good luck to all the teams that you are supporting..... especailly if the team is Ferrari !!! :wink:

GO SCHUEY GO :!: :!: :!:

:D :D :D

GRRRR!!!!
stupid ferrari, i thought BMW had a chance there!!!
with that stait line bullet speed!!

come japan, BMW's will be having ferrari for lunch!!!
hahaha

[SDK2003]

I was also really excited before the start of the race and it didn’t disappoint either. At least the championship is still alive going into the last race………….just :)

[Jabba]

Yeh I loved every fuckin second of it...except when it kept going to the commercial breaks...I was going ape shit...trying to check the teletext for the latest track positions...then pacing up and down screaming for the coverage to resume :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Also as well as Schumi only needing a point...Kimi has to win of course and that means beating Rubens as well !!! it would be a brave person to bet against Ferrari now... :D :D :D

[stradale]

Schumi's chances of winning his sixth (!! 8) ) title are very good. I hope he will succeed. He truly is one of the greatest of all times. Damn, he almost holds every record there is in F1. Too bad Senna died. It would have been interesting to have seen what would have happened the last decade if he was still alive.

[draak666]

Jabba, don't you plan on posting that F1 show again, like you used to do? I must admit, I didn't download it at the time but I missed this race and from what I've heard and read it was a pretty good one. If not, do consider this as an idea for the final race of the championship. :D

[Jabba]

Yes I would and still could as there is a full replay on tonight...but to be honest...when there was hardly any interest or feedback from the last time I uploaded it...I couldnt see the point of carrying on with it....

[draak666]

I understand, and to be honest, I wasn't very interested in the beginning either. But there have been some races that I really enjoyed this season and I'd love to see this race too. So if there's enough interest from others, please post this one Jabba. :)

[stracing]

oh jabba please post the highlights...this was an excellent race. i'm on my knees begging.

yea i hated the commercial breaks as well, it was a painful wait

[alondahan]

So if there's enough interest from others, please post this one Jabba. :)

I'm sure interested. I saw only part of the race yesterday, and I would really like to see the whole thing. I'm sure others will appreciate this as well.

[Jabba]

I will put the highlights show up tonight which is 1 hour long or 45 mins without the commercials....

[SDK2003]

Yeh I loved every fuckin second of it...except when it kept going to the commercial breaks...I was going ape shit...trying to check the teletext for the latest track positions...then pacing up and down screaming for the coverage to resume

LOL

If you really want to keep up-to-date during the commercial breaks check http://f1.racing-live.com - They have live timing, track postions etc

[draak666]

Fine site, SDK2003. They have a very nice collection of wallpapers too.

oh jabba please post the highlights...this was an excellent race. i'm on my knees begging.
