That depends, are you a first timer to Le Mans or cheese?

Gilles lives! · 14 Apr 2015, 23:52 (Ref:3527526)

I say that I am going to come along every year and then end up being detained by my comfortable chair (and refreshments) watching the build up, however I will try to make an extra effort this year to come and say hello as it's now been a few years since my last appearance.
I did see James and Ayse at Silverstone on Sunday morning, but was in a rush so couldn't stop, they both looked far too busy entertaining anyway

**Aysedasi** · 15 Apr 2015, 17:20 (Ref:3527719)

Ah! Was that while we were having our bacon butties? Shame you were in a rush!

You were by a bench behind the startline stands near the food stalls, so you could have been, I was just about to say hello when someone drew your attention, I guess it was another Ten tenther. I'll find the time to stop by at Le Mans.

There was speculation that you were spotted on the steps at the Wing towards the tail end of the ELMS race - I'm guessing this is probably confirmation...

Simon will however I am sure make the point that it was not The Hat but rather New Hat, but principle remains the same.

**bella** · 16 Apr 2015, 13:48 (Ref:3527934)

yes, i was with the laydeez (and some friends of one of the others). unfortunately i'd lost all brain power and was firing on emergency lighting only cause it was so cold

of course, the hat received an upgrade. are we to still call it The Hat or is it doing a zytek/gibson effort and are we to call it Maurizio or something instead?

GT6 · 16 Apr 2015, 14:21 (Ref:3527951)

That was my winter hat, not the straw version for summer, i was certain it was you but smiled at you several times and you just seemed to look straight past me so doubts crept in

**bella** · 16 Apr 2015, 16:04 (Ref:3527971)

sorry, it's faceblindness, not a genuine malicious ignore move

it was only upon seeing the hat that i thought "....that's familiar... but why..." and figured it out about 10 minutes later!

GT6 · 16 Apr 2015, 16:34 (Ref:3527980)

Oh well, but do thank your quite tall friend, she smiled at me but i don't think she knew who the hell i was.

I like that - calling the hat Maurizio. I think I should have a name for my rather motley old hat too. Fred perhaps....

I think she was smiling at Maurizio, not you......

in the interests of respecting saint fred dibnah of yorkshire, unless it's a flatcap that might be a bit blasphemous

she said she thought she saw some of the le mans folks to be fair to her! that was what made me put two and two together.

so yeah, if anyone sees me at any circuit and i blank them, do come up and ambush me and identify yourself. and if you don't identfy yourself, please excuse me if i'm vague cause i'm trying to figure out who you are. genuinely *not* ignoring you, i just don't see or remember faces (prosopagnosia). ask anyone who i've collected from the airport

Looking at the pics of the wonderfully filled table with fine cheeses and beverages from last year and the rather impressive amount of us Le Mans pilgrims, I couldn't help but wondering: Does the ACO have any idea of what we're doing there?

I mean, should we be concerned that "they'd want a piece of that action" ?

They better not want a "piece" of any of it! That's our cheese

whitemr2 · 19 Apr 2015, 16:51 (Ref:3528926)

Yep, stay away from our cheese and our meeting place

GT6 · 19 Apr 2015, 17:10 (Ref:3528936)

And i don't want them having any of the wine, pate or various other drinks, but we could offer some of the sweets just to stop them banning us from having our meeting

nobster · 19 Apr 2015, 17:11 (Ref:3528937)

Please not let them taste the rocket fuel

Actually that might not be a bad idea, speaking from experience it is very hard to talk after a swig of that stuff

nobster · 19 Apr 2015, 17:29 (Ref:3528950)

I that case we should let mr. Ecclestone drink a whole bottle of it....

Bicknell55 · 21 Apr 2015, 12:06 (Ref:3529664)

I'm another Le Mans noob but I'm going to try and stop by. Any requests on something you'd like me to bring from the US?

Truckosaurus · 21 Apr 2015, 12:51 (Ref:3529673)

Pretzel flavoured M&Ms, they are my favourite but fiendishly expensive over here.

GT6 · 21 Apr 2015, 13:51 (Ref:3529694)

Totally aware that it might be very difficult for you to bring Cheese or heavy items so, try and bring something that is considered local to your area of the world and is easy to bring, however if that is difficult then just bring yourself/guests all our welcome.

Welcome Bicknell55,

I know something light and savoury: Beef jerky !

Djcomix · 24 Apr 2015, 13:37 (Ref:3530471)

Wine, if someone like wine, it will be a pleasure to taste some with you during your journey in le Mans.

racerkeke · 24 Apr 2015, 15:56 (Ref:3530523)

Have you guys got any idea how awful it is to listen to you go on about all the lovely adult beverages (not to mention the comestibles) when we commissaires are not able to partake? We will probably be ironing out last-minute changes to the new sector system. So think of us as you imbibe.
