I felt more than once that something like it was possible, but didn't have the confidence in my number skills to work it out.msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-32524167038590977022009-06-26T14:06:25.222+01:002009-06-26T14:06:25.222+01:00Partisan reporting and F1 are also illuminated by ...Partisan reporting and F1 are also illuminated by mathematics. One year, mathematically it was a two horse race. But, as with Wimbledon, the press coverage concentrates on the british respresentative, no matter what their real chances. My boyfriend of the time (a maths teacher) got me to put two bets on Schumacher and the other driver to win, because the odds were such that you would make some money if one won, and cover your bet if the other did. And he was right. Shame I only put on a modest amount.Jo Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-2378037324811395512009-06-25T23:49:07.082+01:002009-06-25T23:49:07.082+01:00@Johanna, of course from my point of view it all s...@Johanna, of course from my point of view it all seems quite natural.msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-47595422515533170482009-06-23T20:27:41.472+01:002009-06-23T20:27:41.472+01:00That was my best line, and I stand by it.

If <i>I</i> remember correctly, there were three men 'on pole', posting the same time to the thousandth of a second. HHF was one of them, and I'm still convinced that he thereby made a significant contribution to Schumi's mental meltdown later in the day.msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-75594608925665245942009-06-23T16:44:39.813+01:002009-06-23T16:44:39.813+01:00I found your F1 column back when I finally got a h...I found your F1 column back when I finally got a home computer--it might have been powered by coal or steam or furry things running on a belt--but I remember two things vividly: 1. I thought you were a group of very clever university boys; 2. You described Heinz Harald Frenzen as "mostly harmless." Now here's the thing about memory. I know my first memory is true, in part because of my extreme embarrassment when I discovered you were actually, well, you. But is my second memory as faulty as the popular assertion about the color of Michael Schumacher's eyes? I think I'm right, but only you would know for sure.RainCityGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787643071062344076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-4608788425267100972009-06-23T16:30:57.713+01:002009-06-23T16:30:57.713+01:00Ms. H, you never cease to surprise me.Ms. H, you never cease to surprise me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
