for sure, for sure

I'm struggling to find an appropriate title for this post...

once upon a time, 'for sure' was introduced as a way of saying 'yes', 'certainly', for racing drivers. I remember Alain Prost was particularly fluent. It is now common parlance with native English speaking racers,  and can even replace a casual 'yeah'.

Martin Brundle famously contributed 'nodoubtaboutit' which if used as the trigger in a drinking game can be more dangerous than Mad Men.

I can understand 'Free Practice' becoming 'FP' but 'qually'... No.

However, this has now been topped by 'gapping'. Ugh.

Adrian Sutil

Kerbivore congratulates Adrian Sutil on his return to Force India.
We need more musicians, and fewer DJs

Blenheim Gang

...no idea what 'Blenheim Gang' means (to the gang themselves) but the Bristol Blenheim is one of my favourite WW2 planes

and mere words alone cannot do justice to the respect I feel is due to them for putting a Tagora, Alfa 90, Thema 8.32 and Allante on the same page
