100101 New Year's Edition

Kuwashima · Post by **Kuwashima** » 02 Jan 2010, 01:50

G'day everyone

Happy New Year to everyone! To celebrate the arrival for 2010, and more importantly to co-incide with the birthday of HWNSNBM, we proudly release this special New Year's Edition this 1st January (and yes it still is only 3.50pm on Jan 1 in Samoa as I type this!).

This podcast features all the rumours that are fit to ramble on about, we play Santa for the F1 paddock (and incorporate some of your ideas from the relevant thread), there is more Jug Band, more focus on Vanuatu, and we replicate our efforts last year at a season-ending musical abomination by recording something we can only hope may lead to a lawsuit.

We hope you enjoy and have a great year!

Cheers,
Jamie

Excellent podcast as usual guys! Really enjoyed the song at the end. And thank you for mentioning my Xmas gift idea to Mario Andretti for an honorary drive in the US F1 car.

As usual, another great podcast. The Christmas presents and the song were excellent although I feel sorry for eytl recieving the special edition of Talladega Nights from his wife (it could have been worse, you could have been given "Driven"- starring Sly Stallone - for Christmas). However, in honour of this (and NASCAR becoming the new series for F1 rejects), I decided to make a F1 Rejects/Talladega Nights car for NASCAR '09, which is basically a Ricky Bobby car from another forum with F1 Rejects logos pasted all over it .

Cant wait to see him racing in the WRC for the Citroen Junior Team. The only problem would be trying to keep him away from the Munchi's Ford team truck :lol:

Uh, hi - it's me again.

Hope you don't mind, but i was seized by a moment of madness (lasting about 6 hours) and strung a few images to go with your inspired re-interpretation of a Christmas classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIa9-Wr4HWs

Kamui ftw in 2010!

Snoozey you champion... nice job!! Except I almost vomited when a certain picture came on the screen. So other than that, awesome!! We would never have considered anything like that as we didn't think anyone would actually make it listening through the whole thing.

Cynon · Post by **Cynon** » 02 Jan 2010, 13:24

I'm outraged that this podcast was not called the Happy Birthday HWNSNBM Edition. Hang your heads in shame! :evil:

Other then that I loved the single from J-Law.

Currently listening to your pod cast at the moment, and enjoying it quite a lot. The only slight thing that I would like to pick you guys up on is over Schumacher's contract. Strictly speaking, the contract is officially for 1 year, but contains an option for him to continue for the following two years if both sides agree to it.

Thanks Masami - that means a lot.

Hey, what's a hit single without a music video?

You almost vomited... that was the "mildest" pic i could find! :shock:

So glad to hear Schumacher might be coming back. Long live The 3rd Best Driver in F1!

Oh, but yeah, Schuyler is pronounced sky-lur, though nobody ever gets it right. In any case, thanks for the g'day.

Anyway, great show, as per usual. And that beatles cover
was really moving. Powerful stuff.

Wasn't a Beatles cover. Needed to point that out. It was a John and Yoko cover.

Very different.

Copied the podcast into my MP3 player and went for a walk. A friend on my dad's saw me and called my old man to tell him I was laughing out loud on the street... :oops:

I am not kidding.

Brilliant bit, gents!

It's not a disgrace to laugh at something when it seems there's nothing to laugh about. It happens to me sometimes... :lol:

Ugh, you're right... Must have had a bit too much of that left over "special" eggnog.

If you don't mind me asking, what the hell is eggnog? I've heard it mentioned so many times yet have no idea what it is.

Eggnog is a drink consisting of a combination of assorted dairy products, sugar and cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Optionally, any alcoholic beverage may be added. Someone else may tell you what it tastes like because I've never had any.

It's amazing... do they not have it in Britain or something?

Learn the differences indeed. First day in England, I talked to the landlady of the Bed & Breakfast where I was staying and somehow managed to call her English. She was Scottish. Suffice to say I was almost kicked out of the place...

Thats why I say everyone is British, as really, thats what we are (plus it saves a lot of problems)

Debaser · Post by **Debaser** » 03 Jan 2010, 12:15

Never go to Ireland and make that mistake, certain people won't take kindly (that's massive understatement). Visiting my relatives in Tipperary was an enjoyable trip a few years ago, though the village they lived in was decades behind modern developments. I'm yet to listen to the podcast, though it sounds like it was a pip and a dandy.

When I was at university in the first half of the LAST decade, I lived with someone who drank it most mornings with raw egg. Generally a strange fellow, yet somehow charming...

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 03 Jan 2010, 13:25

By the way, woo hoo! I got my first mention in the podcast! Made my day, that did. So I 'm going to type it again. Woo hoo!

I hope you're joking.

Even if it is easily confused. It's funny, whenever Irish people are on holiday and they're heard speaking English, the waiter or whatever will often ask, repulsed "Are you English?", the response is of course, "No, Irish,", whereupon the waiter brightens up and mentions something about leprachauns or Guinness.

Collieafc · Post by **Collieafc** » 03 Jan 2010, 16:14

Ah, but the difference is that Ireland is a seperate country, so therefore somebody from Ireland would be rightly unhappy at being labeled British (Unless its Northern Ireland, but thats when things get a bit

)

Debaser · Post by **Debaser** » 03 Jan 2010, 16:26

Its not confusing, Northern Ireland is part of the UK and the Republic of Ireland isn't. The history of how that came about is confusing and dangerous, so let's not go there.

Let's not.

BTW, where are your relations from in Tipp? I kind of know around there.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 03 Jan 2010, 16:35

I've been a long way - visited Tipperary while on a trip to see my godfather in Union Hall, County Cork. Was on in the Republic a week or so. Woo hoo - off topic, yet again...

I had to join the board as a result of the terrific New Year's Podcast. Terrific rendition of "Merry Christmas"! You gents have some talent, I'm sure of it!

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 03 Jan 2010, 19:56

What can I say J-Law? Nissany at USF1 is about the best peace solution anyone has thought of.
I wonder if the UN listens to the podcast?

thehemogoblin · Post by **thehemogoblin** » 03 Jan 2010, 20:38

I was actually directing that at Alianora La Canta.

Calm down. Don't shoot.

My relations are the O'Hara's from a village called Birdhill in Tipperary, which according to wikipedia was voted "Tidiest place in Ireland".

It is very tidy.

Great podcast, and not because I got my name mentioned.

Yannick · Post by **Yannick** » 04 Jan 2010, 10:04

Thank you for yet another good podcast, dear webmaster and dear site author.
Unfortunately, this year's January edition has been lacking on track action, which of course is only the fault of the testing ban and the closure of series that run during the Southern Summer, such as A1GP (RIP)

It'll be interesting to find out in the next podcast who is to become the Mercedes GP reserve driver, if Fisico can still find a seat, what the progress of the new teams (USF1, Campos, Playboy Mansion ... erm no ... Virgin Manor, Fondmetal Team Malaysia, and BMW Sauber ... which is still their official name) will be like, and how Scott Speed will perform in the Daytona 500.
