Yea I thought Orangeboom would have an orange top but after a Google it doesn't. I'm not proud of that answer in the slightest lol An old school bottle of Fanta has an orange cap - non alcoholic though.

Ok man thats fine, I'm ill at the moment so if I get super bored and can think of a way to knock up a lil vid I will

Sorry its real shit trying to give help over the internet, Rainbirds better at it than me. You at SEEIVC now? I'm at the bottom of bread and cheese and will probably be in for the next couple of days, so if you need any help just pop over dude

Which means x = -5/6 or 2 Since: (6x + 5) (x -2) = 0 means either: 6x + 5 = 0 or x -2 = 0 and rearrange To plot you know its a U shape because its an x^2 graph. Which crosses the x axis at -5/6 and +2. If x = 0 y = -10 so thats the y intercept, then I think you'll just be expected to know them and draw the rough shape.
-
Basically to get the 6x^2 term using simple factorisation there are 2 ways to achieve this (unless you take out the 6). In this example y and z are still unknown variables. (6x + y) (x + z) (3x + y) (2x + z) Then you need to find a way to get your constant 10 which you can either get from 1*10 or 10*1 or 5*2 or 2*5 leaves you with 8 possible solutions. Then you need to change the signs so you find the -7 x term. Sorry I can't explain it better I just do it without thinking about it so its really hard to explain now..... (6x + 5) (x - 2)

Looks incredibly sexy bar the brown grips! haha

Pretty much, with a shorter race for pit stops to even be nessecary the tyres would have to degrade even more heavily because the tyres degrade most heavily at the start of the race with the heavier fuel load. Picture your on scrubbed tyres, losing 2 seconds a lap. A pit stop takes 20 seconds. If there's only 9 laps left you may as well limp round.
-
Basically Pirelli were set about the task of creating tyres which would make racing more "interesting", they didn't set about making the best possible tyres. Heres 1 link after a quick Google but I'm sure if you spent more than 30 seconds you could find something much more in depth. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/17808768 Another link http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2012/04/pirelli-responds-to-fans-criticism-that-tyres-are-too-big-an-influence-on-racing/ Basically to be good on these tyres - you get out in front early and conserve you tyres effectively, its not good for racing.
-
Because all those suggestions are rubbish, I would justify myself but it would turn into a rant. So IMO generally speaking: -They have already taken out fuelling strategy, if the races were shorter less fuel weight would mean less tyre wear and no need to pit at all and that would mean no strategy. - The only way to counteract this would be to make even worse tyres than those Pirellis already are, meaning (as is occasionally happening now) the best drivers and cars don't get the best positions because of wear of tyres. IMO their the pinicle of racing... give them the best tyres, not a substandard to make racing "interesting". Making a competitive formula is more the answer. - Anyone who talks "cost saving and environment" shouldn't watch F1 at all. Its all paid for by sponsors and promotion, if its not financially viable for you to do it... then don't. The amount of new teams show that someone will fill your place. If your care about the environment then your better off trying to ban Hummers and Autobahns. - Shortening races makes it more commercial yes, but, ticket prices to watch it won't change, your Sky subscription won't change. You get less, if you don't want to watch it all then catch the highlights. - Gear box's and other components are so reliable now, that making all the races shorter reduces further the risk of failures which makes it less interesting.
-
Yep, think Usain Bolt, Steven Hawking, Einstein, Messi, Ronaldo. But I wouldn't say Danny Mac has outstanding natural skill. IMO most good trials riders can do the trials bits and most good BMX'ers can do the BMX bits, he just has amazing production value, great spots and huge balls.
-
I think his frustration is because he's not doing as well as he wants, so to move to a "lower" team seems a bit ridic. But I'm always super naive - I think the difference between 15m and 20m is nothing, because you either get paid a shit load - or a shit load.
-
Hamilton IMO is the best driver in F1, but theres always something wrong, either the car, or the setup, or the FIA, or him putting himself in positions on the track when he has no plan B and when the other drivers reactions aren't quick enough, (or too stubborn) they end up colliding. He seems to be getting increasingly frustrated on and off the track and its frustrating supporting someone like that. Apparently he could be moving to Mercedes as well (why?), and has tryed talks with all other teams, TBF he could be a creditable replacement for Massa or Webber but I can't see him working alongside Vettel or Alsonso, (especially considering how fiery Vetel sounds after the race in those pre-awards awkward alone moments together) Button does dandruff commercials. Paul seems to have worked hard for where he is, he beat Hamilton in a pre-formula-1-formula, and seems a lot more modest, ie. asking Coultard for tips before race tracks he hasn't raced at before and stuff, (although I wouldn't personally take any tips from that Donkey). He's massively impressing me and needs to get into a better team soon, before he becomes on of those "back of the grid" guys. Main downsides - what type of English name is Di Resta, AND he's Scottish.
-
Slip stream jokes Oh yea and I think from now on ill follow Paul Diresta. - Hamilton lied about that over take under yellows and I f**kING hate liars. - Hamiltons posting shit on Twitter that his team should sack him over - standard - Hamilton is hated by the FIA and that makes watching him hard. - Button is the worlds most boring driver. - Button does dandruff adverts. So yea Paul for McLaren

Explain better what you mean and I may be some use. As in you can't get her to come? Or you can't come simultaneously? Edit: Am I being dumb? Is it you who can't climax? -
Yea I'm watching a 40l one which will be far more sutible. All plans on hold, because I've fallen out with my parents and there being awkward so got to wait till my job starts in 3 weeks

50 big bottles of coke..... that's enormous in a small studio haha.

Its not hard to be better than the BBC commentary. Literally love F1 but tempted not to watch it until I get Sky, Coulthard was f**king useless insinuating that Hamilton could have done anything, if he accelerated his rear wheel hit Romains front, he braked and his front his Romains rear. Literally Eddie Jordan and Coulthard can f**k off and die, for 2 people so "in tune" with the sport, they really have no clue. Even Martin Whitmarsh's interview was shockingly bad management. I noticed, which wasn't actually picked up on by any "analyst" at the BBC that Romain actually turns his head and looks across at Hamilton before he hits him. (which you can see on good quality on-board Hamilton which I cant find a good copy of)
-
Really.... harsh? Maldonado should have just got a drive through within the first 5 laps, that would have f**ked him up enough. He gained like 7 places so being dropped 10 isn't bad. And Romain came 3 foot away from killing Alonso through reckless, un-nessecary, dangerous driving. And if Hamiltons car would have tipped it would have been a damn sight worse for him. Apparently he has caused accidents in 7 first lap incidents this season which really needed addressing.

Probably aided and abetted burglary..... long story

Do some reading on the basic rules of thirds. You also need to make a lot clearer in your pictures the direction of the rider and what theyr'e actually doing.
