GP3 at Silverstone?

32 posts by 12 people · 15 Apr 2000 17:48 UTC - 27 Apr 2000 01:56 UTC

Will GP3 be shown at the British Grand Prix

A fan going to Silverstone asked whether GP3 had been displayed at Imola or Interlagos, as it had been at Melbourne. Joking replies about stealing the demo CD led to a long digression on British slang, new verbs and Monty Python.

Could anyone who went to Imola (or Sao Paulo) for the GPs tell me whether GP3 was on show at either? I'm gonna be at Silverstone next weekend and wanna know if it'll be there. David C -- eMail: [email hidden]

I don't know the answer to your question, but if it's there make sure you can slip around the back and have it away with the CD Rom !! ;) Probably the only way any of us will ever get to see a demo of it <G> -- Ian Parker == David Cane <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:E31K4.223$rv6.13973@news1-hme0... > Could anyone who went to Imola (or Sao Paulo) for the GPs tell me whether > GP3 was on show at either? > I'm gonna be at Silverstone next weekend and wanna know if it'll be there. > > David C > > -- > eMail: [email hidden] > >

tell ya what. After the race when everyone is running to the car park to avoid the rush that they're creating to get home and beat the traffic (themselves), I'll go to the GP3 stand and nick the CD (and if it's not on CD, I'll thief the PC and done with it :)) Ian P <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:HWoK4.13501$[email hidden]...

Personally, I dislike "new verbs" and refuse to "fax" anything. I also don't "telephone" people, but this might have more to do with living in a German-speaking country now, where people call each other rather than telephone. Stephen

There's no such thing a as "wrong thread" when it comes to Monty Python, but I'm wondering, do you also dress up in woman's clothing and hang around in bars ?

Well, I like it. Good old-fashioned, colorful, ever-inventive British slang. (God love it!) In fact, I don't think that's new one at all. I'm surprised you've never come across it before. --DK "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:38fb09de$[email hidden]...

"Fax" is an abbreviation of "facsimile" and has become an accepted "new verb" in its own right. We do not say "I will facsimile this document to you". We say either "I will fax this document to you" or "I will send you a facsimile of this document". "Network" is also a "new verb" when used in the context to which you refer. However, "networking" existed long before computers were born. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Stephen Ferguson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8dh3uc$7rsnf$[email hidden]... > > Pops <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:[email hidden]... > > > > Bruce Kennewell wrote the following... > > > > > You'll _what_ the PC?
