Some cracking photos over the past few pages, there's a part of me that wants to get into landscape photography but honestly whenever I go out to try it just doesn't do anything for me and I struggle with finding any inspiration (I live in the bloody Highlands, it shouldn't be too difficult).
Thankfully, I keep myself going with the local sport scene. I really think we should get into the habit of giving our photos titles.....I name this one "Ow!! My Face"

I mean I shouldn't be surprised but yet.....

Suppose you arm the teachers. They are not trained to shoot the bad guy - they are trained to teach.
They would have to overcome their own survival instinct. Ideally they would have to shoot the shooter before the shooter had harmed anyone - running the risk they had misread the situation. Also they would need to ensure none of their shots hit anybody else - stray bullets are dangerous.
Also teachers with guns means more guns in schools means somebody might find a teacher's gun and use it.
Never ending cycle.
Also, I'm pretty sure everyone has come across a teacher either in primary or secondary school who is.....shall we say a bit unstable. As Jim Jeffries once said, lets give that teacher a gun, a room full of children who merciless bully them and see what happens.

NW200 on today. Two good races so far, particularly the SS600.
I was out taking photos this afternoon so was dipping in and out of the racing when I could. That finish to the Supersport was amazing and was lucky to catch that.
Did you see the state of the Dunlop tryes from the first superbike race?

It's the fact they were unwilling to even do the basics to get the pitch ready which really gets me.
Ok they may not have had the equipment/personal to do it, but since it was going to be a one off they could have talked to the Shinty club and asked for a hand to get it ready.

BSB under way at Silverstone today.
Was out at the Shinty today so missed today's action....got tomorrow's schedule blocked out so nothing will disturb me. Looking forward to this season.

Getting some major 'Rubens Barrichello' vibes from Sainz this season....

Top 6 Bay Bay.
That should put to bed the reasoning behind Malkys appointment. Top 6 in 1st season
Footballing reasons, it was a sound appointment.
Off the field, the decision spat all over the "Community Club ethos" our chairman loves to spout, and the complete and utter shambles of PR in the weeks afterwards shows a lack of connection and ability to understand genuine concerns.
I'm ecstatic that County have made top 6, frankly an unbelievable achievement, but while he's there I'm not going to be.

Clach looking to enter an Under 20's side into the NCL next season.

Yeah with multiple cars, the MPG thing is usually total bollocks, but you'll have a faster car. Usually always seen good gains on turbos, probably wasting your time with an NA.
Thought that might have been the case, still tempted, however.

Has anyone had their car re-mapped or had a tuning box installed and if so what's the general thoughts?
Thinking about getting it done for my current car in an effort to see if I can get better MPG out of it.

If I'm going to be getting up at ridiculous O clock to watch a F1 race then they need to bring this back into the fold. It was the only way I could tell my body to become alert for early morning races.

Are they adding canned crowd cheering to the overtakes?

I think if you listen carefully, Jacque Villeneuve is desperately trying to get in touch with journalists to complain about the lack of decent Canadian drivers.......again.

That was a massive one, these cars really don't like the kerbs at all.

There is a fire at one of the Aramco oil facilities about 10kms away from the circuit seemingly it's got the organisers worried

The issue with Croft is the same issue with a large majority of commentators these days, all looking for the sound bite that will cement them into folklore (that Aguero moment).

Would've been interesting to see if Bottas could have done any better had he not made a c**t of the start.
The story of Bottas's F1 career to date....

Ferrari - Look to be on a similar pace as Red Bull, possible a bit faster depending upon track. However, seem to be a bit better in with temps and tyre degradation.
Red Bull - First of all....
. It's a usual story of a Newey new build on new regs....potentially fast, but have they again packaged components in a way which compromises cooling?
Mercs - Offt, I think they are further down on power compared to the other 2 than previously thought, looking at their customer engines they all finished in the bottom.
McLaren - As much as they moved forward last season....they have gone further back this season. That car is a mess.
Hass - Losing Mazepin is a blessing in disguise. They have now a solid driver who will be top 10 for the next couple of races for sure....all depends upon how well they can handle developing the car throughout the season and whether they will get swamped by the others?
