JETHRO TULL LYRICS
"Queen And Country"
The wind is on the river and the tide has turned too late,
so we're sailing for another shore where some other ladies wait.
To throw us silken whispers: catch us by the anchor chains ---
But we all laugh so politely and we sail on just the same.
For Queen and Country in the long dying day,
And it's been this way for five long years,
since we signed our souls away.
We bring back gold and ivory; rings of diamonds; strings of pearls ---
make presents to the government
so they can have their social whirl
With Queen and Country in the long dying day.
And it's been this way for five long years
since we signed our souls away.
They build schools and they build factories
With the spoils of battles won.
And we remain their pretty sailor boys ---
hold our heads up to the gun
Of Queen and Country in the long dying day.
And it's been this way for five long years
since we signed our souls away.
To Queen and Country in the long dying day.
And it's been this way for five long years
since we signed our souls away.
I am not sure if he'd acted that way if Lewis had done to him what he did in the first corner to NicoV8Beast said:

I contemplated renting a 600mm lens for this event, but in retrospect, there's a good chance the rain would have done some damage. Well put mate, I totally agree!!V8Beast said:romanr74 said:While I like the shots and share the cheer... the banding on the rolex background is quite bad....
Yes it is. There's only so much cropping these files can handle
...... Sure beats watching the ceremony on a trackside monitor with the same view as anyone on the other side of the planet ;D Telling yourself "yeah I was there for that" at some point in the future with nothing to show for it but a faded ticket stub isn't quite the same as reliving the experience with images that you captured. In that regard, the banding is irrelevant
) occasions when I was a little (*cough*) under the weather and would have benefited from having even cameraphone snaps, such as the time I saw Nirvana at a student union in Glasgow, and the time I saw Metallica with Cliff Burton on the Master of Puppets tour, a few snaps of me and him outside the Edinburgh Playhouse would have been sweet!

Never say "never". I can remember people saying Schumacher's records will last as long as Fangio's.V8Beast said:...
In contrast, realistically there will probably never be another American World Champion, and I have serious doubts as to whether Haas F1 will ever be competitive. If I were British, I wouldn't take my country's illustrious F1 heritage for granted, even if its most successful driver lives somewhere else

No such luck at Haas. IMHO, the early success of Haas hinges on their relationship with Ferrari. How much technology and support is Ferrari willing to sell to Haas? That's the million-dollar question.
AFAIK Haas F1 will have their car ready for the winter tests, that means in Feb.Stewart K said:
I've just read an article that for those test no new parts are allowed and that the cars may not be reconfigured during the testing.Stewart K said:
