Hamilton targets British 1 2 - Page 5

**Born Racer** · 11 Jul 2011, 22:25 (Ref:2925332)

You're a very charismatic chap too deeks.

Every other stuck record anyone's ever owned has been far less appealing.

mattt · 11 Jul 2011, 22:41 (Ref:2925337)

there was a British 1 2 (and 3) during the course of the weekend. admittedly it was in the GP3

**Born Racer** · 11 Jul 2011, 22:47 (Ref:2925339)

It's great to see so many British drivers in GP3.

I'm not sure what you mean, Mr. Adam43

Maybe because a nation (England in this case) shouldn't have a point of view about the nationals of other nation (Germans in this case). It's called a prejudgement (or prejudice if you prefer) and leads inevitably to misjudgements/misperceptions (to your confusion, in this case).

See? I'm just referring to Mr. V's "English point of view"

Like it or not, every nation has a perception of other nations. Some are good, some not so.

It's a stereotype rather than a perception, I'd say. Coming from the days before mass travel, when we didn't know much about our European neighbours. If you think Germans are humourless, you probably think French people ride round on bicycles with a string of onions round their neck going hee-haw hee-haw.

Also the carry over of a great myth for the war propaganda machine to perpetrate while encouraging young men to go to war and kill foreigners.

Marbot · 12 Jul 2011, 09:01 (Ref:2925432)

A typical Frenchman invading England, today! Sacrez Bleu!

wnut · 12 Jul 2011, 09:07 (Ref:2925438)

OK so the poor ride bicycles, and the rich drive VW Golfs.

Or is he just riding the bike because he can't find someone who can read the German service manual for his car!

No, that's not his car. We had previously been invaded by this man the day before.

**garcon** · 12 Jul 2011, 10:32 (Ref:2925491)

I will never be invaded by any man wearing leather shorts.

Personally I'd stop that sentence at "any man." the leather shorts are not the problem!

They may not be the problem, but they do make it worse.

Wasn't that sentence used in one of Churchill's great speeches ?

But tomorrow I will be sober, wheras you will still be wearing leather shorts?
I don't remember that one...

I'd like to apologise for the unfortunate direction this thread has taken...

(P.S. Good point wnut. The leather shorts just make it weirder.)

Maybe you're thinking about:

"But tomorrow I will be sober, wheras you still gonna wake up ugly."

The legend says it was told to a woman that accused him of being drunk during a party.

Exactly, they are stereotypes, and therefore unfair, and inevitably leading to dumbfoundedness whenever someone shows up that contradicts them

Oh, VIVA GT, how could you get it so wrong!

Not a legend but a well documented quote. Bessie Braddock said to Winston Churchill "Winston, you're drunk." to which Winston replied "Bessie, you're ugly but tomorrow I shall be sober."

deeks6 · 12 Jul 2011, 21:40 (Ref:2925796)

Ah, the battle lines are drawn! Just a warning to you French and Germans, dont take on the English unless you are prepared to be drowned in curry. Now repeat after me "Lewis Hamilton is God"
