I don't know if they played it on the TV but at the track the radio from Leclerc was something inaudible followed by throttle. Followed by Nòooooooooooooooooo
Did anybody catch this

Take some sweets, lots of sweets

11.25pm she passed away.
Went to Derby today to collect Jax and watch the game with srg, on the way home we received a call to say it's time.
Managed to get into the hospital and spend 10 minutes with her before she left us.
Hung in there for us to say our final final goodbyes. ?

Well it's been a fairly  ?y  9 or 10 months. In October, after a routine checkup, my wife was diagnosed with a tumour in her left breast. After several weeks of what seemed like ever worsening prospects she was operated on and what looked to be really daunting ended up as being the worst nightmare you could imagine, but at least we've now woken up and the hope is that a small scar will be the worst of the (physical) effects.
At around the same time we were told that my dad's lymphoma had returned and that he would need Chemotherapy.
Problems with a (married) couple of workmates who were having problems with their family were making work days pretty unbearable.
I ended up realising that I had a mild form of depression when a spent a Saturday in bed crying. Strangely this made me realise I needed help and talking it through with friends was sufficient to help through.
Unfortunately after 5 or 6 years of being clear of cancer my dad's physical strength wasn't the same as when first diagnosed and the treatment was having an adverse effect on him and he decided to stop having it. He also had breathing problems after years working in a foundry and at Willington power station. 
Yesterday the fight finally got the better of him and he passed away. 
Although these are difficult times I am at least happy because my wife, daughter, her boyfriend and I were able to get over for three days at the beginning of the month and I was able to say goodbye whilst he was still just well enough to appreciate what was going on.
I'm feeling low at the moment, but I'm not feeling depressed. Reading some of the stories on here allow me to realise that I'm lucky. My wife is doing well (perhaps too well because she's still off work and wants "fiesta", I want to relax), tensions at work are easing and I've pretty much made up my mind to look for another job, and although my dad is no longer with us I'm thankful that he is no longer suffering.
ps if you've got loved ones tell them you love them before it's too late.!A British stiff upper lip is a load of bow locks. You'll feel much better for it.

@David
First off, so sorry to hear of your troubles, and wish you well. 
Secondly, having experienced myself, it does indeed help just to come on here, write down whatever you feel comfortable with, and press send!  More helpful than many would imagine!  ?
I know a woman… also a mother to 5 kids… who got taken by cancer at 43. The good news is those 5 kids not only survived, but flourished, and led healthy and happy lives themselves for decades. 4 of us continue to do so even now, 43 years later, whilst always finding time to cherish the past, and the happy memories of mum, so don’t worry too much about those kids. All will come good, and their mum will never be forgotten. 

It looks like you need to be the strong one in all this, and be there for your family when needed… and sometimes even when you’re not… so stay strong for now. You’ll get your chance to “have a moment to yourself” sure enough. 
Keep talking. Keep caring. Keep being the good man that you are. 
Oh.., and please pass on a massive “Happy Birthday” to your sister in law, from team DCFC.

Max Bird is the best thing about Derby County.
I love the guy 

Sensible decision. Probably a sign that he'll be captaining us to the Championship title next season.

It's going to be entertaining as Sainz makes his way through the field, but yes, I suspect just being able to switch Perez and Verstappen pit stops around to snooker Leclerc is going to be a headache for Ferrari. It did seem Ferrari has more pace overall.
On TV the sound is equalised heavily in production so no, the Ferrari isn't noticeably louder.

The Ferrari engines as they exit the curve and go full throttle are so much louder than the rest. I am not sure if it is audible on TV but very noticeable by the side of the track. Bit of a shame that Sainz is starting so far back because I think it might need both Ferraris to stop RB

Good point but...how often do you drive from Dover to US virgin islands? That is the problem past Dover it gets a tricky with an English car or vice versa with a European car back in blighty.

Should've put a few drawing pins on it.

I also got a piccie of Horner's seat for @RadioactiveWaste, and I spat on it. It would not load because file size is too big, just like his ego.

On the right where it should be like everybody else

The men would never have gone for a second goal in extra time.... ?

Or it could be that they are genuinely hopeless. We live in an area where parking permits are required to park in front of our own house so we pay for the privilege. They used to have permits to stick on windscreen now it is all online for efficiencies, the price didn't drop btw. Now if we park in front of our own house we get a ticket and then need to go the council to get it cancelled, every time. They are cr@p, I ll get off the fence now.

The problem is that you're assuming the council are capable of logic....
They know they screwed up, but they're not going to publicly admit that as they'd have to cancel all the tickets/refund everyone - as it stands, they can sit back and wait for people to contact them for a refund.....and keep the money from those that pay up without making a fuss....
If I was you, I'd contact the DET - they'd love a story about the council that claims to supportt the club issuing fines to fans that have legitimately paid for their parking....

Hilarious. No idea where to put it but needed to be seen.
