Also still don't think you're quite getting it. Like if I was paid £100 to have my head held under water for 30 seconds and hold my breath.

Someone else was paid £1000 to have their head held under water and hold their breath for 2 minutes.

The next person is a proper pro and can hold his breath for like 8 minutes under water. Pretty impressive. So someone comes along and pays them a million pounds to have their head held under water for 10 minutes. Should the professional breath holder complain when going beyond his physical limits when paid so much?

I'll await your possible response, but I won't hold my breath.

I've never held my breath but if a professional can't hold their breath for 10 minutes without moaning I am going to be furious

Or formula one driver taking corners at max speed of say 150mph, then someone says they'll pay them a million more to take the corners at 160mph. That extra small percentage of performance may not be possible on such corners, but shouldn't complain if they crash and break their legs cos they're being paid more to do that speed.

Lorry drivers drive HUNDREDS of miles each day after all and get paid waaay less.

Formula One drivers do 305 kilometers per race. Most of it pretty quickly. How many more kilometers do you want?

1.5 million Kms per race. Will pay them more as well so they won't be able to complain about reaching their physical limits at some point.

Jesus man that's a lot of kilometers. I think you're at risk of pushing Formula One drivers to the limit of physical exertion. I enjoy the sport because it's the peak of human performance driving a motor car, not because of their endurance.

Also I had a 1.5 non-turbo diesel Peugeot 106. I loved that little chitbox

How about if you paid a hydro electric company to fill their reservoir with 100 million gallons of water, and the damn was designed to take that much at its limit, but you asked them to fill the reservoir with just 1 million more gallons, but the hydro company complained about it cos their damn will likely burst with that 1% extra water.

Should the hydro company complain if the water was forced upon their reservoir or should they get on with it because you used to fill your bath really high?

Mine was dark green

I sold mine (was sun-faded pink) because at or above 80mph I thought the doors might actually fall off

posted on 25/9/24

Polished up well with some red t-cut though. Made a little profit on it, actually. Even though the petrol gauge never works

You expect us to believe you got that up to 80 mph?

It's down to the club management to ensure they don't play so many game. Did Saka for example need to start today against Bolton?

posted on 25/9/24

Mr. Sir Tottingham, just read your team's manager saying the fixtures are becoming a problem. As in too many.

We won’t have to worry about playing too many games now we’ve just pulled City in the League Cup. Seriously, are we ever gonna get a favourable draw. We must be the unluckiest club in world football. Shiiiiit draw.
