UNFAIR WAY TO LOOK AT TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS!

I have been through a car accident!!! My neck is hurt and so are my shoulders!!!

What pisses me off… how come when someone stops suddenly in front of you then give a single that he/she will be turning and because of that you end up crashing to them… and that considered your fault!!!! Same with the motorbike accident I was in over 11 years ago… I mean we were driving on the fast lain… and this slow care from the second lane (no cars in front of him) decides he would like to try our lane… so we crash into him and it ends up our fault as we hit him from behind!!!!

It’s unfair!!! :’-(

So I work! I think everyone noticed that I am! I’m too tired… and have no time to post!!! But some interesting things have happened! Some very interesting things have made me realize nothing is as it seems!!!!

Will be talking about them soon… as soon as I have the time to post! :-*

2009 FORMULA 1 PETRONAS MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX

It’s noon time here in Cyprus on 5th of April 2009 getting ready for the second race of the season… The number of laps is 56 on a circuit length of 5.543 km that makes the race distance 310.408 km… The lap record was made by Juan Pablo Montoya in 2004 with a time of 1:34.223.

So I complained to LTV last week about the commenters… so did another friend of mine who thought the older man from the 2 commenters is just horrible!!! Now I got an email back telling me:

Thank you for your email but unfortunately we cannot understand why you are attacking the two commentaries we have. Have in mind that Mr. Frixos and Mr. Vanezos have a good knowledge about F1 because in the last 3 years they were doing F1 in LTV which was taped. We can understand by changing the commentaries you were used to be watching in RIK is a big change for you but even though they were people you were shouting about also.

We believe if you give a chance to our commentaries you will be satisfied because first of all they have the knowledge and secondly they are opened to your suggestions.

Unfortunately we cannot change our commentaries as you have requested but a whole team is behind them and they will give them the support needed to improve them selves.

As we said we are opened to any suggestions so please feel free to send us any comments you have.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any more information or clarifications.

So I sent them back I am not sure who are who from the guys… but the younger guy is ok… so I can advice by changing him to be the main commenter!

And of course no answer from them and now I will have to wait and see how today will go… I hope I won’t hear something like Massa comes out of the pit in front of Massa in position 12 (when it’s should be Massa come out of the pit in front of Vettel and take P9)… yeeh those are the kind of mistakes the commenter with the good knowledge that only ever did recorded repeat shows of F1 races in past!!!

Yes!! This is me!!! I deleted you by mistake!!!

Lap 1; Rosberg, Alonso, Räikkönen had great starts… Barrichello passes Räikkönen… Kovalainen is out of the race… button passes Alonso fro P3… and Rosberg leading the race! Wow what a start!!!

Lap 2; Barrichello now is after Alonso for P4…

Lap 3; Button has the fastest lap with 1:38.217… Buemi pits for a new nose… and Kubica is out of the race… his car showed flames coming out and he did complain and said something was wrong with his car earlier!

Lap 4; Rosberg now holds the fastest lap 1:38.041 and still running fast in the lead… Barrichello passes Alonso for P4… Vettel seems to be running light!

Lap 5; button gets closer to Trulli… and I see a replay with Vettel passing Hamilton for P10… and expecting rain in 10 minutes…. And showing Glock and Webber fighting for P7 and almost touching!!!

Lap 6; Vettel trying to for P9 with Heidfeld…

Lap 7; heavy rain is expected… we hear that from Brawn’s radio…

Lap 9; Barrichello now the fastest on track… but Trulli takes it with 1:37.887 before even I could see what was Barrichello’s time! …. Heidfeld makes a mistake and loses control for a blink of an eye and was enough time for Vettel to pass him and for Heidfeld to drop to P11…

Lap 10; McLaren is predicting rain now on their radio…

Lap 11; Rosberg is leading and sets a fastest lap… Räikkönen passes Alonso and now runs in P5… and button makes the fastest lap with 1:37.579…

Lap 12; button is so close to Trulli now!

Lap 13; Webber passes Alonso…

Lap 14; Vettel is in the pit goes for soft tyres and 10.7s stop and rejoins in P17.

Lap 15; button records a new fastest time 1:37.555… Rosberg heads to the pit 9.7s stop and rejoins in P4 with his new set of softs!

Lap 16; Glock pits and Sutil…

Lap 17; Webber pits and stay with soft tyres and rejoins in P14. Trulli pits from lead and now button leading…

Lap 18; Barrichello makes the fastest time on track for sometime just for button to take back again for himself! Räikkönen pits and goes for wet tyres… seems like a gamble… we will wait and see!

Lap 19; Sutil makes a second stop…

Lap 20; button pits from the lead stay with soft’s and rejoins in P2… and Räikkönen going slow on his wet tyres…

Lap 21; Barrichello pits and go with soft tyres and rejoins in P4… rain drops on the camera!!! yeepeeee!!!!!!!

Lap 22; Räikkönen is the only one with wet tyres on track… Alonso looses control and was in very bad position where thought is he going to be out of the race!?!?!? But he makes it back!!

Lap 23; button in pit, Barrichello, Trulli, Hamilton, I mean every one… except for Räikkönen, but he is running behind because of his early gamble! … It doesn’t seem that early wet tyres were in right time!!!

Lap 24; we hear the McLaren’s radio saying Räikkönen’s tyres are completely destroyed… so maybe he will have to go in as well soon! Webber passes Hamilton but Hamilton fights back and takes the P6 back!!! But Webber passes him again…

Lap 25; Vettel passes Nakajima for P11…

Lap 26; Glock is doing very well and passes Heidfeld…

Lap 27; Vettel pits… Barrichello is in P3 now…

Lap 28; Barrichello passes Rosberg… Webber passes Trulli… and Hamilton pits…

Lap 29; Barrichello and Trulli pit… Glock now is running in P2… Alonso pits and so does Nakajima… and button pits from lead… Webber is in too!

Lap 30; Massa pits… and replay of Vettel passing Piquet for P10… button gets the lead as Glock pits…

Lap 31; Webber, Rosberg and Massa are in the pit… Hamilton pits… every one is going for full wet!! Fisichella spins out of the track but get back in… Vettel has stopped and his race is over!

Lap 32; button pits once again and takes the full wet and rejoins back in lead… Trulli and Barrichello is in pit… safety car is out…

Lap 33; red flag… every one heading to the grid… drivers out of their cars so the pit team could work on their cars… we hear Massa freaking out asking for his wipers as he can’t see anymore… and we hear his control team to try to relaxing him and telling him to calm down as it’s on it’s way! Seems for it to be a 10 min stop before restart… Race been suspended and most drivers are out of their cars…

If the race can’t be resumed seems ½ points will be given for the drivers who have completed 75% of the scheduled race distance. Hamilton is the one of the only few drivers still in his car. The race can’t stop before the 2 hours has passed… and seems the rain is calming down…

Less than 20 minutes left for the race… Räikkönen in his garage so I don’t know what his plan is if the race starts… other cars in grid getting moved around and seems they will continue the race! The first 2 cars will have to start 1,5 minute earlier than the rest as they are one lap a head of everyone else…

We Räikkönen out of his race suit and eating ice cream he stopped his race…

Less that tem minutes left for the 2 hours and the control revealed the race will not be restarted… the race is over and button is the one with highest points with 5 points which is ½ of the 10… and Heidfeld is second with 4 points… Glock in third with 3 points…

Been a while since I have seen a race that was stopped this fast… it was interesting but u did not want to watch just ½ a race!

2009 FORMULA 1 ING AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX

It’s Sunday 29.3.2009… First race is Australian grand prix… The number of laps is 58. On a circuit length of 5.303 km… Making the race distance: 307.574 km! And of course as no one has still broke the lap record of 1:24.125 it’s still held by Michael Schumacher which he made in 2004.

My bad luck is the F1 has changed its TV channel in Cyprus… It’s now shown on LTV which is a paid channel while last year it was on Rik (TV) which was the main Cyprus free TV… The commentary was amazing on rik… Now on LTV the old man commenting sounds like a dead old man! He is really horrible and the young man with him (who is quite ok) keeps correcting his mistakes at all times… I mean for god sakes I am paying to watch this… I think the least they can do is put great commenter!!!

So as it seems the race will be very interesting! And great new surprises were shown yesterday in the qualification! Now the race will start so to the race!

Lap 1; red lights went off, the cars lounged and a horrible start for Barrichello… But great one for my favorite man (Räikkönen) and for Massa… Räikkönen who is now in 5^th and Massa who is P3 now! Seems good for the red team! Heidfeld pits because of the puncture in his rear tyre… Webber pits too… and seems Kovalainen follows them!

Lap 2; seems Kovalainen having problems and might be stopping… the team still working on him!

Lap 3; Hamilton passes Fisichella and in P11 now… Button seems to be doing well in the front of the pack and keeping his lead! And yes… sadly Kovalainen is out… too bad for the Finnish man on his first race for this season!

Lap 4; fastest lap for Vettel with 1:28.999. And we hear Barrichello’s radio telling him he has damage on his left side!

Lap 5; Vettel goes faster and closes the gap between him and button… Hamilton is trying to pass Piquet for P9…

Lap 6; Button pushes and goes faster to set a new fastest best lap…

Lap 7; But Vettel is behind him pushing harder and takes back the best lap time from Button… Hamilton passes Piquet and now driving in P9.

Lap 8; Button and Vettel seem to be swapping fastest lap time… Rosberg is trying to pass Räikkönen…

Lap 9; Button is about 4 seconds leading the pack…

Lap 10; Rosberg passes Räikkönen on turn 1… Barrichello tyres to pass Räikkönen but end up touching his car and sending him to pit! Trulli pits too.

Lap 12; Massa pits and takes the medium tyre… Hamilton pits and goes for harder tyres…

Lap 13; Kubica pits and changes to medium!

Lap 14; button and Vettel are still there in the head of the pack leading the race!

Lap 15; Barrichello still carrying the damage in his front wing from touching Räikkönen’s car in lap 10!

Lap 16; Vettel closing on Button…

Lap 17; Vettel pits and goes harder tyre… Rosberg pits and seems to have a slow pit and problems with his front left tyre comes out in p12 and see Räikkönen passing him!

Lap 18; button sets the fastest lap… Nakajima hits the wall and gets out of his car and he seems ok! And safety car been asked out!

Lap 19; Barrichello pits and takes a new nose… Buemi pits and so does Glock… Button pits and stays on hard tyre…

Lap 20; safety car is out… Heidfeld pits… Piquet pits… Fisichella and Alonso pit too… and seems Fisichella forgot where his pit stop is and made it a mess causing him much longer in the pit!

Lap 21; Button leads behind the safety car and making his gap shorter with the pack behind him!

Lap 22; Bourdais pits… and race control tells the lapped cars to take over so they would take the right position they should be in behind the safety car…. it seems all Button’s hard work just went to waste and has to do it all over now…

Lap 23; Sutil pits… Hamilton reporting that lack of temperature in his new harder tyres could be a problem!

Lap 24; safety car is going back in after this lap… and we see Massa and his trick in keeping his tyres warm… …. Piquet spins out of the track!

Lap 25; and the cars recharge… Hamilton passes few cars to take P11… Alonso passes Glock… and a replay to Piquet’s incident which shows he just got nervous when Rosberg came out of the pit as he thought they might touch and lost his control!

Lap 27 ; button is leading with 2 seconds now… Vettel behind him in second… Massa in P3 followed by Kubica in P4 and P 5 is Kimi Räikkönen!

Lap 29; we hear from Buemi’s radio a warning that Rosberg is closing up to him!

Lap 30; we see Button’s father in the pit sitting and watching with all his nerves!!

Lap 31; Button leads over 4 seconds…

Lap 32; Massa pits and takes harder tyres. And rejoins in P14 behind Fisichella…

Lap 33; Trulli pits from P6, takes harder tyres… in P13 right behind Fisichella as well!

Lap 35; Kubica is the fastest man on the track… 1:27.989… Sutil pits from P17…

Lap 36; seems Räikkönen, Hamilton and Glock all pushing hard and set personal best laps… Webber who has been not the best race in his home race. He goes in for his second pit stop!

Lap 37; Kubica is the fastest man on track in P3!!!

Lap 38; seems BMW Sauber getting ready for a pit stop!

Lap 40; Kubica pits from P3 and harder tyres for him… Räikkönen pits and harder tyres for him too… they rejoin to have two cars between them!

Lap 41; Kimi Räikkönen in 10^th while Kubica in P7… but Räikkönen passes Glock after he span and now Räikkönen is in P9…

Lap 42; Buemi makes his second stop from P8. And we see Button leading the race with about 5 seconds!

Lap 43 Hamilton is closing up to Rosberg and makes us think would he be trying for P4 before he goes in for the second pit?

Lap 44; Hamilton pits from P5 and harder tyres for him… out in front of Massa…

Lap 45; Rosberg in the pit… Heidfeld pits… and Räikkönen hits the wall!!! At least he is still running!

Lap 46; Vettel pits from P2 and out in front of Barrichello… Barrichello tries to take him over but it was a lost attempt!

Lap 47; Massa has a problem… seems he is going in! Button is in the pit too!

Lap 48; Massa is pushed in the garage. He is out of the race …. Button still in the lead!!! And Räikkönen in P15!

Lap 49 Rosberg sets fastest lap with 1:27.706… a slow lap for button and Vettel closing up!

Lap 50; Hamilton trying hard to pass Trulli but still can’t!!! Fisichella pits… Kubica will be trying to pass Barrichello sometime soon for P3!!!

Lap 51; Glock pits! Softer tyres…

Lap 52; Barrichello pits from P3 and rejoins behind Rosberg in P5… Alonso pits…

Lap 53; Barrichello passes Rosberg for P4… but far from Kubica who is over 20 seconds in P3!!!

Lap 54; Hamilton is in 6^th now after passing Glock and Rosberg! … (Yes I still really don’t like the guy)…

Lap 55; Alonso also takes over Rosberg for P8!!!

Lap 56; 3 laps to go. And sadly Kubica and Vettel collide when Kubica tries to take Vettel over… and both out of the race!!!

Lap 57; Vettel still on track on three wheels driving his car to the pit…

Lap 58; Räikkönen pits for the fifth time and seems he stays in… and Vettel couldn’t make it to the pit and stopped his car on the side of the track!

Last lap; Trulli third, Barrichello second, Button first!!! Passed the finish line! It was a sad race to Vettel that I would have liked to see him on the podium after his hard work… and very sad race for the red Ferrari… as both drivers out of the first race of the season!

MY OPINION OF F1’S NEW CHAMPION

So now… after days of cooling off my disappointment and anger… here am writing about the F1 champion of 2008…

Lewis Hamilton… he is born in January 1985… a very young talented English formula1 driver… now I have nothing against his talent… I have nothing against him… I just don’t feel right with it… he seems fake for me all the time… there is something that can’t be touched… I‘ll explain… Kimi Räikkönen was hard headed bad loser (bad in losing) with a horrible attitude… he laid it out there for every one to see from the start… he didn’t play the good sweet Finnish guy… yes by years he learned how to control it and hide it but he still doesn’t feel fake… ok you say maybe I say that because I’m a fan… so give you another example… Alonso… a man I despised from the day he gave his stupid attitude with press about how much better he was from Schumacher and bad mouthed him in a public… but he was there with his real horrible attitude… yes he learned how to be more polite and learned how to suck up his anger and stupidity through the years… but he was never a fake… with Hamilton I don’t get that… how can a 21 years old boy have perfect answer a polite reply and right words for every single question??? How can he get so high suddenly with no flaws on his record… anything…? I mean it’s not normal!!! Even the children of the best families raised by perfect well spoken people are never this perfect at that age… time passed and he’s closing up to 24. Still perfect words perfect attitude perfect smile that never fades… but still I do like his talent with his car! Ok maybe the only ever (problem) Hamilton got in was the incident in France… but even that it was just over speeding!!! So not good enough mistake for a man in early 20s!!!

Now my biggest prob with the picture of Hamilton are the things surround him! Where should I star from… ok…

Carmen Lockhart is Hamilton’s mum she is white English… and you can find a lot of pictures of her and news of her on the net… she seems nice enough not to have anything in my opinion which is bad written about her… and frankly I just saw her picture first time like 3 months ago and then found out her name… so didn’t know the lady!!!

Dad… oh no don’t want to talk about him yet… the brother or the ½ brother… Nicolas didn’t look much about him as I just know he is younger and he suffers from Cerebral Palsy which is a condition that cause physical disability in human development… we saw him many times in the races… bless him I always loved that boy… something in him makes me feel peace!!!

Dad… oh god… yeh most know I hate this person… I hate Anthony Hamilton so much that when I see his face on the TV screen I change the channel if it’s not F1 or if is about F1 then I need to turn my face away… I mean it… something in that man…(he reminds me of my feeling when i see George Bush’s face). Any way… this guy wants to support his son… so he babysits him every race… yes we see other fathers in race every now and then showing support but this man is there in every single second… ok ok he is his manager along with his second wife Linda who helps in that… but I don’t see any pilots’ managers every single race and every single qualification on tack with them… so what’s the deal with the babysitter?? Doesn’t he think he has another son that might need bit more babysitting, help and attention??? I think this boy (Lewis) is all grown up and could take care of himself… but no… money and fame is behind this son… so the other son could just hang along behind waiting for his 5 mins every now and then!!!

Then ok I don’t and never follow F1’s pilots, mechanics or anyone else’s privet lives (dating and such)… I think your privet life and person you/he/she or they are sleeping with is none of my business or problem as long as it’s not my husband or close family member! But I was looking at this old woman… ok not old but a woman as old as 38-40 that was all the time on cameras who was standing with Anthony (Hamilton’s dad)… and I was thinking to myself I have seen this woman before somewhere… and my god took me 2 days to actually realize that was Nicole Scherzinger the lead singer from Pussycat Dolls if you know them… my god and I used to think she was dead up gorgeous… she looked like 100 years ok she looked 10 years older than what she really is… and I tell you that girl is just 3 months older than me, makes her almost 7 years older than our champion.. But who am I to judge???? I’m sure her pussycat moves helped a lot and well I don’t know if she really talented in anything else, but I know men see that alone as good enough talent!!! Yeh… I never liked her and will never like her… I call her the pussycat doll girl and if you really know what that mean… it’s a stripper!!!! As I think talents are many but she is not one… but as I said I do not care who the F1 pilot sleeps with as long as he makes me enjoy the show when he drives the car!!!

So!!! No!! I’m not happy Hamilton is the champion… I don’t think he deserved it quite yet… I wish Massa got it… I wish Button (another English pilot) or Kubica… Of course my real wish was for Räikkönen to get it but still I wouldn’t have even mind if Alonso got it rather than Hamilton!!!

A MINUTE OF SILENCE IF YOU PLEASE!

If you read this I wish if you would give 1 min of silence to the lives lost is the horrifying school shooting in Kauhajoki in Finland! It happened yesterday 23^rd of September…

A MAN WHO TOLD ME I WAS FAT!!!!

So I think it’s time for me to tell you what happened to me on Thursday 2^nd of August…

I was on my way back from an appointment with my therapist in Larnaca and I was driving on the highway at about 120km/h when a guy in a red Toyota MR2 ‘or MR-S as some call it’ see me and tries to race me!!!! As usual me I can refuse a challenge… I took him over and then slowed down for a curve that sometimes has police after it… So the guy takes me over ‘or that what I thought’… He keeps with my speed right next to my car so I look at him! He points to me to stop on the safe lane! I showed him my ring ‘meaning I’m married and not interested’… Would that stop him?? No he keeps harassing me and tries to force me to stop! But me I never did and never would… But as my sweet bad luck there has been a truck on fire on the high way and all traffic stopped and big flames from far a way reaching the sky! And smart Nora what she does??? Of course she has to stop and not just that get out of the car to take some pictures! Yes the guy was still in front of me! He gets out of his car and just comes and sits in my car! Yes just got in my car! I asked him to get out but he didn’t and as I didn’t know him and didn’t know what he might do I kept calm and just played along! So this is what happened:

He; You’re a good driver!

Me; Thank you! So are you!

He; Can I have your number?

Me; No! I’m a married woman!

He; So what? He doesn’t need to know!

Me; But I tell my husband everything! So he will know!

He; Will you tell him about me?

Me; Of course I will!

He; No you won’t!

Me; Ok I won’t!

He; So give me your number!

Me; NO!

He grabs my phone from my hands and tries to unlock it with no luck! I thought he’ll give up and leave! But no he takes the cover of my phone and tells me if I don’t give him my number he won’t give it back! Instead of just telling him to keep it I freaked out and gave him my number… He gives back my phone cover and tells me again not to tell my husband and I told that I won’t tell him… BUT before he leaves, he points to my thigh and says; That’s not nice!! Meaning the cellulite in my thigh!! I just answered back; Well I’m a woman and I have some fat on me! So what? He smiled and then he left! ‘F**king S**t! The a** want to sleep with me and calls me FAT???’

I was so relived and drove to my Tony’s Taverna and the first thing I did is told Stelios exactly what and how it happened! From the beginning of the race till the end of the thigh pointing!!! I was so pissed off! I was laughing as well! It was funny and sad some how! And while I was talking to Stelios the guy calls and I give the phone to Stelios and tell him to answer! He goes like????? What am I suppose to say? I told him just say hi! He answered in such a formal way and the guy hangs up straight a way! “Such a chicken!’

2days later he calls and I’m at work… I answer…

Me; Hello!

He; Is this Nora?

Me; Oh yes! How are you?

He; I’m ok! Where are you?

Me; I’m at work!

He; Why did you tell your husband?

Me; I told you I tell him everything!

He; What did he say?

Me; Not much! He trusts me and knows I could handle myself!

He; I want to see you!

Me; I’m a happily married woman! So the answer is no!

He; So what? I really want to see you!

Me; You want to come and have a coffee with me and my husband?

He; No, I just want to see you!

Cheryl walks in and talks to me…

He; Ok I’ll leave you for your work, but I’ll call you later! Ok?

Me; You can call when ever you want it doesn’t matter for me!

He; You’re not going to tell your husband I called?

Me; Of course I will!

He; Please don’t!

Me; You know I will tell him!

He; Ok bye!!

Me; Bye!

And yes I did tell my husband later on that day! He did try to call few more times but I just keep rejecting his calls and it seems he got my message!

Ps; Men do not tell or show a woman in any way that you think they have a bit of extra kilos on their body if you want to get to their pants!!! If I was single and a man that I did like points at my cellulite and says that’s not nice… He would have had to forget ever getting anything from me!!!
