Nah, what screwed me up with De Angelis was the wet weather... on race tyres during qualifying, he was really fast, faster than Valentino... but I had no idea where he'd be in the wet. Likewise Sylvain... racking my brain trying to think how all the cannon fodder went in the wet...

And I should have racked some more!

I had Valentino first (couldn't resist... just knew he was capable of a late, great set up),
KC
Nicky - who i'm gonna kill... what the f**k made me put the little twerp third? And what was it... a second into the race and I knew I'd effed up... he's a wanker... hate him...
Chris... ah, he's my main man now!
Dani... it's a killer... I wondered if he'd crash... damn, I went all conservative...
Jorge... so wanted to put him back, as I've done race after race... but the little shit keeps finishing strongly and I always lose a tonne of points... so now he decides to crash again....hate him too.
Dozey Colin... another one I wanted to put back but who keeps proving me wrong with good finishes... grrrr. Another one I hate...
Ant West... thanks Anty... when he disappeared for a while, I was ready to hate him... but nup, he's another main man for themoment...
Shinya... yeah, another solid ride.
Andrea... just couldn't decide how he'd do in the wet... I was wrong.
Alex... wrong wrong wrong
Randy... I never put him higher than 9th...
James, Toni and Loris... Loris couldn't make up my mind...


I'm peeved, I put Sylvain about 9th to start with... then choked, couldn't remember how he does in the wet... another corker mistake. Ahhhhh.Loris... thought his injuries might make him extra conservative... WRONG.

Anyway, I think I've taken a beating this round... I'll add it up...

Holy crap... 87 points. All I can hope is that everyone else put Dani first... but odds good that most put KC first... 87... I've hit rock bottom!

I got 87 points this round also Catty

It's a bloody conspiracy!

See, this only having 18 riders to start... it sucks... no Plucka, so down to 17... then three blokes crash... it's all over... can't get those final few points.

Totally shiteful round, wouldn't you agree? Bloody wet weather... though it suited Rossi well to have it wet... just didn't suit us trying to pick the bloody race! Grrrrr. Still annoyed!

Wow, 87 - ME TOO!!!!!

What a crappy round.

The first two I did OK, but I had Dani 3rd, Lorenzo 4th, Colin 5th and Nicky 6th!!!!

My fault I guess - I forgot to change Vermuelen to higher when I saw it was wet.

One thing is cetain - you destined to do well in the points if you put Shinya in 9th!!!!!!

Hahhahha, I'm an idiot who miscalculated my score! I got 90! I kicked your asses! hehe.

Yeah, good ole Shinya in 9th... he's a mainstay.

Crikey Mel, you got clobbered with your 3rd to 6th... bastards all crashing, they have a nerve.

Forgot to put Chris up higher... Jeeeeeesus, Mel... what were you thinking? Or had you put your choices in on Friday again? lol

Yeah, as usual I put them in early - and I pay the price!!!!!

Better that than putting no picks in at all and ending up with ZERO!!!!! :-P

You do know you can change your choice of riders even after you have submitted your choice. I've done it a few times....but regretted it each time I did...would have been better off staying with my first choice.

Ouch! Touche, but then... better than ignoring a whole race just cause the year still said 2007, not 2008.. I mean, really!
Ah yes, I am familiar with this... I, too, am queen of f**king around endlessly changing my choices... I'm getting a bit better... usually I'd log off from teh site, then change my mind and go back... I usually have to change them sometimes, too, because I look at who I've got left and what places I have left and think.... mmmm, no way am I putting Marco 8th... or Mmmm, no way am I putting Randy 3rd... you know what i mean? lol SO major reshuffle has to happen... then I change my mind. And on it goes... Mel, who doesn't do any of this, currently has more points than me... (of course, if I'd gotten my 117 for Dongington, that certainly wouldn't be the case....) and actually generally scores a bit better than me each round... so obviously no reward for the neurotic here...

AFTER LAGUNA...


Well, I could go on about my choices and subsequent points... but why bother?

SINCE I SLEPT THROUGH MY ALARM AND DIDN"T GET A CHANCE TO FILL IN MY CHOICES ON THE WEBSITE! Have I mentioned I loathe american gps?

It's a laugh... but after watching that race... which I thankfully recorded... I don't give a shit! I've lost tonnes of points... it would have been Valentino 1, KC 2... after that, who cares?

Actually, bit of a bugger, but it was such a great win, my mood is so good I don't care too much at the moment...

But Mel, Angela! You must have gotten huge points hauls over this one!

Fair point - but I blame that on "computer issues"!!!!!

Anyway, Laguna, 107 for me - had Vale 1, Stoner 2, and a late change to put Chris 3rd!!!!

But Lorenzo again screwed me, put him 4th and once again continued my faith in Colin with 5th.

My total now 1049..........haven't checked the leaders total yet, must be over 1200 by now
