MOTOGP » Jorge Lorenzo signs new Yamaha contract.

I'll bet that after he crashed out of the last couple of races Yamaha were ready to call his bluff. If he was pushing Rossi closer in the title race he would be in a position to push Yamaha harder for cash, but he isn't (any more) so he can't.

MOTOGP » Back to reality.

Anyone English, or Welsh, or Scottish, is British by definition, what you choose to call yourself is a matter of personal preference. Nothing more. I'm with Bradley btw, I'm British.

F1 » Villeneuve: F1 stars don't hate each other enough

JV is of course as American as any Brazilian, America being a continent not a country. I'm not bothered whether the drivers hate each other, as long as they race hard.

F1 » Button 'at the top' of many F1 teams' lists for 2010

Thanks HAHAHA. Bessie, I'm honestly not sure. Button won at Monaco thanks partyl to his ability to get the most out of the tyres. Hamilton's biggest fan wouldn't say that he's good at conserving his tyres, so I'm not sure that he would win in the Brawn. Different cars suit different driving styles.

MOTOGP » Canepa cracks top ten, Kallio 'unmanageable'

Unimaginable or unmanageable? Goodish result for Niccolo, hope Mika starts getting the breaks soon, I think he's a very intelligent rider.

Bleedin' hell simon, I'm trying to educate you here. Do you even own a dictionary? Have you read the Snopes page yet? That's enough of my diversion on this thread anyway, I doubt you can back up your etymology with anything at all and I've given you plenty of info (not just assertion), so case closed. Go Jenson and Hamilton - yes indeed. I'm loving having two top brits in the sport.

Did you read the snopes page, simon? Or a dictionary, as I recommended? My copy of Collins backs up the Snopes, as does the OED online. Pomegranate is a rhyme for immigrant, close enough for slang anyway. Pomegranate can be shortened to pommie, and in Australia the pommies are immigrants. Try reading something factual one day, you might learn something.

MOTOGP » 125: Smith wins, takes world championship lead.

Superb win - and a battling one too! That's erased any lingering doubts about whether Bradley could fight for a win or just escape from the front.

MOTOGP » 125: Simon stays top but rivals threaten.

Good to see 'our' Bradley getting a bit higher up, would be nice to see him top three though - especially as his teammate is the one setting the pace.
