F1 Fanatic

Every now and again you or someone else posts a great contender for COTD. In fact, people reply ‘COTD!’ afterwards as a vote of their approval. However, there can only be one COTD and these other contenders are pipped to the post by a astute observation, a superhuman statistic, or a controversial point of view.

Well this thread to to preserve those classic comments in one place. If you’ve made or remember seeing a comment you thought was a COTD contender, add it to the thread :)

I’ll start with two of my own, but I’m sure there are better ones!

That conversation would be interesting:
ms: Aah, hi Rubens, I wanted to say sorry
rb: for what?
ms: *looks at feet* for the other day?
rb: what happened the other day?
ms: you don’t remember?
rb: I don’t know, I’m pretty popular these days, I beat the stig on top gear
ms: I am the Stig on Top Gear.
rb: er, yup. You were saying?
ms: Oh yeah, sorry for you know, nearly killing you
rb: when?
ms: Gezz Rubens!! I’m trying to apologise here, and you’re killing me!!
rb: nice choice of words.
ms: *choke*
rb: come back when you’ve learnt humility. *leaves*
ms: humidity? What? *confused face* *crushed*
