Not at all, but it is usually the context or way in which you say it in order to get a rise. No wonder most people have blocked you tbh.
That was a funny day

My work alarm is 5:30. I'll be damned if I'm getting up on the weekend at that time!
Same here, probably be asleep after 5 laps!
Because it is a news site? You've only got yourself to blame.
As i said elsewhere:
One thing I think most should be able to agree on is the current format of driver press conferences, whether they be pre or post-race. They ARE formulaic and dull, and we only see the English version – spare a thought for the drivers who have to go through the same thing in the native language version once Sky / Channel 4 move on. As a fan I never seek them out because there’s rarely anything interesting out of them. Driver engagement really needs improving – let’s hope Liberty Media have a few ideas.
That said, I don’t agree with Hamilton’s behaviour nor his approach. I felt the live Snapchatting was immature – akin to a British MP playing Candy Crush during a parliamentary meeting. More so in fact, as he was directly inferring that he was bored with the whole affair. I also feel that his approach is immature and inconsistent – it was only last week at Malaysia that he was only too happy to use the same media and journalists to voice his unhappiness and suggest that there was a conspiracy from the team / a higher being preventing him from winning.
I’d much rather see Hamilton engage with the new owners of F1 about how things could be improved, if he has ideas to keep things new and fresh, or voice his ideas eloquently during these existing media events. At present he risks being seen as building a case for being this season’s victim or ‘moral champion’. He should be, and is, capable of better.

I hope sensible Lewis is behind the wheel on the formation lap, we need him to finish above Nicola today, to keep the championship alive.
We want rain too, please, *does a tied rain dance* !
Edit: OMG Lewis start most awful this year, down to 8th!!!!
