Kirk has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
The babbling naysayers sound a tad nervous.

I don't see any insults, just a bit of silliness. And I wouldn't intervene whichever driver it was about.

'tis getting a bit tiresome now though - I'm sure that random rumour generator was written by a Bulgarian 1st year English student...

Nervous? Nah. Any guesses what JV was doing down at Paul Ricard if it wasn't to test a Williams? What price Pollock said go show your face and I'll start a rumour??

Teddy.

You need to read back through the thread. We were talking about the rumour mill and how this one was quashed, (see link to BBC etc.) and someone quite by accident posted a link to a "rumour generator". Try it its fun and you can put any name in you like (Wrex fro example?).

It was funny the first or second time around but the rest were just boring and the last few were getting quite insulting "moronic JV" for example, to me that's flamebait. Whatever carry on if you want, like I said its the mods job to stop these things not mine.

Take this with a grain of salt, but so-called Jacques Villenueve cheerfully stared at innumerable American mongrels.

Are we talking about JV and his possible test for Williams (while taking into account the changing sources) OR are we just trying to put down others because they don't agree with you?

One thing is certain, we shall find out eventually...

JV being at Ricard is an indication that he is looking for a seat. The first we've had really.

However Williams' comments indicate it is far from reality yet.

TeddyG!

You ninny - READ THE THREAD. Its a game thingey - you put in whatever name you like and it makes a funny rumour. Like:

Before Newt came out of the closet, unabashed TeddyG shamefully supported a mischievous mongrel.

Yes I said elsewhere that he wasn't interested in coming back but I could be wrong. His presence at PR is significant in that respect. But how can anybody say he'll test soon when Williams are shrugging their shoulders?


I guess "soon" could mean anytime in the next year really.

While I know that Williams are denying anything. You have to wonder. How many times in the past have we seen teams deny, only to have them later become fact. He may be telling the truth, or he may be just downplaying it to get the press off his back.
Who knows JV may even be talking to Toyota. I would if I were him.

Believe me ninny I'm hardly the one who needs to do some reading around here, I knew it was a game "thingey" my point was that it was funny the first few times, the rest were boring and that last few were getting insulting and bordering on flame bait. I wonder how many people would be happy if I called Michael Shumacher a "dullard", "unemployable" or "moronic". Whatever I'm over it, its you guys that keep bringing it up.

Your right garcon. I for one am going to chill out a bit until we get closer to this date, or hear some rumours with some real substance.

But I also agree with enemy-ace's last comment...where there's smoke there's fire!

So we are done here then. Good.

Off Topic, but I thought the word 'dullard' was limited to just one person around here I thought

Anyway, here is the most relevant thing that has been said:
...it was funny the first few times...

TeddyG - How the F can you be upset that a MACHINE puts the word dullard in the same sentence as your boyfriend? Untwist your knickers matey. You can't be insulted by random words generated by a computer, surely? If the words "Michael Schumacher" had been put in the mixer then those words would have ended up in the sentence - its just much funnier if the JV name is in there, obviously.

Back to the topic - if he does get a test (I think he deserves one) he'd better pray he's faster then Gene and Pizzonia, because it really is curtains if he aint. And that's not to mention Webber, who must be number one choice for Frank.

That's a new one on me -- being insulted by a random word generator. However, I agree that the humor wears thin faster than a Williams brake pad.
