    F1

    All three are absolutely terrible. And the main reason I watch it on skygo even when it's a race that's shown live on the bbc...
  2. That was fantastic. I enjoyed that more than imaginate, because it was just riding a place and not set up that much. Also it was mainly just shit hot trials lines with big ballsy risky skinnies, and less tricksy stuff. The sea jump looked like it probably hurt! watched again on a big screen - loved it even more
  3. That's a bad one. My boss is being a massive fanny (again). urgh.

    Zoo lander 2

    Umm, because zoolander is one of the funniest, most popular and quoted comedy films made this century ?
  5. Lol at those onboards, yes I'm pretty sure you could have gone faster in the Ferrari! doesnt it say pretty much everything that he is just as fast in the 4wd tank than the p1 lowered, stiffened and with aero added?
  6. I pushed through 25 degC whilst running in the new stove - nasty paint curing smell phase is pretty much done. Having a fire is great. Now I've just got to build a wood store and order in a truckload of logs.
  7. The skin doesn't fit the screen on iOS anymore. You have to zooooom in, except the ad banner still goes all the way across.

    Films!?

    Of the Craig's - casino royale -> skyfall -> spectre -> question of sport. live and let die is still the best film of all and roger Moore best bond.

    Films!?

    Saw it tonight. Was good. I lol'd. Lots.
  10. Full English for two, coffee and hot chocolate for under a fiver. Fantastic start to the day.

    today he binned it leading and was sulking on the podium.... what a race though. Top racing.
  12. Bttfd. Finally opened the blu-rays I bought ages ago. I and II tonight. ive never heard them swear before!!
  13. Ok, yes we did things much the same way (my working below g=10 for lazy..) what I was trying to say was that knowing Sx=18, Vy=0 doesn't tell you anything at all, and doesn't tell you that the initial velocities are linked, I thought it confused matters and suggested that the way to solve would be something to do with how distance varies over time/whatever. We were linking together with time - the horizontal distance was a constant. I wasn't clear either! the reasons I jumped on 18cos30 for max height are A. Pretty sure it's wrong given both our answers of initial velocity at 20ms (intuitively and I worked it out), and B. The way froggy appeared to do the calculation was to pluck height out of thin air and use it to get velocity, which (given I didn't have any of the specific projectile equations) seemed unlikely to be the way to go. at this point if I was going to calculate height I would be using s=ut + .5at^2 as it seems a bit silly to use a specific projectile equation plucked from the air. We know time very simply as we know V. Interestingly at at this point I thought well actually what if you can pluck the height out without calculating V or t ? The range is fixed at 36m so there is only one path it can possibly follow, for which you don't need to know gravity or initial velocity. You can describe this as a parabola fairly easily. The differential at time 0 and using the angle at take off helps you get the height to drop out. I haven't got this written down legibly! But it gave the same answer which is always good. I will end by saying I haven't done any maths for a long long time so did this as a sanity/mind check, so hey I'm rusty and probably haven't helped.
  14. Just as an aside, and you could give this a go - you can get to the vertical height directly but it's much trickier. It's also independent of gravity/initial velocity.
  15. I'm not sure that helps either. Ignore vertical/horizontal displacement as a means of linking things together. things to notice .., 1. Ooh why 30 degrees? That makes things easier doesn't it? 2. There is only one thing you can say about the horizontal component. 3. Vertically - what goes up must come down.... And, there is only one equation that you can use here too that doesn't use distance (something you don't know and haven't been asked to calculate)
  16. Again, no... You can't apply that to the vertical displacement either ! Unless the guys trajectory is a triangle.... Edit: unless you're getting 18 from somewhere other than 36/2
  17. No, it's wrong. 18tan30 is completely meaningless
  18. using tan makes no sense with relation to that distance.
  19. Could have been made to look like any car. Chose a nova. Don't get it.
  20. The ref is biased to S.A.
  21. Snot guaranteed, but 93% next day delivery...
  22. I burned some wood in my stove. House didn't catch fire and smoke left the building where it was supposed to.
  23. Lol at the Irish dude who punched a French guy in the stomach. Good thinking.
