The engine noise without ear-plugs was physically painful.
Clearly you've not been at a Munster Heineken Cup Final in Cardiff with the roof closed. I could hear frig all for three weeks after it, thought permanent damage had been done.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Nigel Farage says he would scrap many race laws.

Sweet, Formula One will become interesting again.

I know feck all about Formula 1 but I'm sure there must be a high skill involved in driving at such huge speeds and there may be more to it in testing and whatever.

However even taking that into account it looks like the money involved for the drivers is fecking massive. Lewis Hamilton on over £20 million per year and he is not even the highest. Fecking hell but I am in the wrong job. Wish to feck I was able to drive one of these cars. If I ever do get around to learning to drive I suspect the limit of my ambitions would be to drive a fecking taxi. No fecker is going to pay you a fortune for that......even if the taximan is ultimately of more benefit to the population than a Formula 1 driver could hope to be. :D

Was that not because of the earplugs you used so you wouldn't have to listen to any more Cork langers trying to pretend they know something about rugby. :D
