They don't show Formula One free to air in UK. You must pay Sky to watch it. I can't help wonder that if a Jenson Button or a David Coulthard was doing so much winning television will find the money to show it for free.

They don't show it live but the highlights are shown on Channel 4. You get all the good bits anyways so I am not complaining. When I do decide to watch the whole thing however, I simply go the Sky route.

I highly doubt it tbh. F1 in it's current state is a cash cow for the Murdoch empire and that's in parts down to Lewis. Hamilton is a household name in the UK whereas both David and Jenson never were or should I say neither were as Big as Lewis. Using a football analogy, Lewis is Beckham whilst Button and Coulthard are Rooney and Gerrard.

In addition, Sky are too rich for everyone else. They'll easily outbid the other TV stations as their budget is biggest of them all. BBC tried to keep it but their hands were tied due to License freeze so they had to let it go. So unless there is a wane in it's popularity, we'll have to make do with watching the Highlights on Channel 4 till further notice.

The only sporting events currently off limits to Sky are the Big ones like the Olympics, the World Cup and Wimbledon. Once an event gains in popularity on terrestrial TV, Sky takes it over. They did to the Champions league, the Ashes, Darts and one or two others.

Congrats Lewis the BBC SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR 2020. It's only a matter of time before He gets given a Knighthood.

RIP PAOLO ROSSI....You'll be sorely missed.

Benzema rescuing Madrid since 1859. Airmark will not like this

......You and Airmark fit each other tbh.

airmark:
He didn't make World cup best 11 and didn't make Fifa best XI because of his average performances.

He is German Isaac Semitoje.

LOOOOL....That tweet off me small sha ngl

Nate Robinson needs to hold this L. Seems like the Knicks can't win on court or off court.

Glad Grosjean is ok. My heart was in my mouth as I watched His car go up in flames. Happy He was able to make it out with minimal injuries.

It's a timely reminder that the sport we all love is still very much a dangerous sport. Thankfully, over the last decade or two technology has come on in leaps and bounds such that major life changing incidents are almost an after thought. Long may that continue I say.

airmark:

LOOOOOL ....Planning for life after footie perhaps.

airmark:
They are trying to let him play well so that he doesn't sabotage their season before the preferred CB returns from injury.

Even if they give the calamitous Ghanaian a new contract, by summer he will be sold to China or Qatar or USA to reunite with Jay Z.

Jayz ke?

Roland17:
I see wetin you do there

LOOOOOL .....Bruhhhhhhh!

ibkayee:
From the artists, to the slang lmaoo I'd be so lost

Oddly enough, I think I'm more immersed in Black American and Naija 'pop culture' than I am the UK's

Most things I watch are online, so I don't watch the TV, don't listen to the radio except the news either. Lol If I hear about anything it's through my sister

Bruhhh thank goodness for wiki and google. I had to keep checking who this next man/woman was. I kept asking myself "Who is this FFS?". Funny enough I knew some of their songs but I had no idea who the artist behind the song was.

Going through their respective wiki pages, I see the reason why. It was so underwhelming. I don't know who made these wastepipes Uk stars. Nothing about them bangs. Highly embarassing.

We are in the same boat tbh. Apart from a select few, the talent is just not there plus gone are the days when I was crushing on Keisha(sugababes) and Jamelia. Now it's stef london. No thank you.

LMAO tbf to you once you reach a certain age, you need to let go of some slangs.

ibkayee:
Pshhh yeah right

I'm not really an 'alcohol' person to be honest, only reason I drink it is if I need to loosen up but it's not something I'd reach for on a normal day

ALTHOUGH, I say that but I'm starting to get into wine. I used to be indifferent

Loooool

Same here. I have got a very sweet tooth so I'm not a big fan of alcohol. Most especially beer. Don't like it one bit yuck and it probably explains why I am not a "Pub buddy" kind of Guy.

Champagne on the other hand, now we are talking. My taste for the finest things in life is Top Tier

fredoooooo:
I leave the chicken and shrimp darling , just because of you ni o , I could have eaten it with Chinese rice ...

Waka Shege Banza!

ibkayee:
Lmao don't mind him

Yeah, more room to focus on studies lol. I don't even know what they call it now, I'm genuinely so out of touch lmao

I had a feeling I'd get it sha so it didn't come as a surprise but it was still annoying lol

I am most certainly out of touch. Some Uk feud was brewing on Black twitter a few days ago and I could not for the life of me figure out some of the slangs being used there. I am slowly turning into my Dad .


Awwww pele

ibkayee:
Lmao I was drunk when I wrote that, my bad

Rahhhh here I was thinking you've never tasted alcohol in your life

A40:
Lol Boateng haters in the mud

Gwarn IBK you tell Him . He needs to stay out of Lover's business

ibkayee:

Sorry dear didn't mean to worry you oo

Still at home, you're right, it's now our new norm

That's good to hear. At least you lot know where He is 24/7. No more rave/schubbs(or whatever new slang they call it now smh) for the time being so He'll be able to concentrate fully on His studies.

I
BTW pele with the ticket. Easy on the gra gra o. If you like vex from today till further notice, that ticket still has to be paid

Nateevs2:
Bunch of clowns. The people who wrote codes to switch Trump to Biden somehow forgot to do it for the Senate races. Talk about believing anything that fits the narrative.

These guys need help.

It seems like I prefer this Nateevs2 moniker of yours. Original Nateevs is cool,calm and collected. Nateevs2 on the other hand takes no prisoners. He does not care whose ox is gored, He gives it to everyone pipping hot.

fredoooooo:
Exactly.. it's always good to sign out from the madness going on here once in a while ..

Still working from home?

I most definitely am thanks for asking . How is your Bro coping with Uni studies during these difficult times?


You seriously had me worried . What made it even more frustrating was the fact that I could not get through to you by any means. My DM is simply not working. Glad to see you are ok

Yup don't think we are going back til sometime mid next year. This has become our new Normal I suppose. You?

fredoooooo:
