He's a faggot Dare, don't worry I have no leanings in that direction at all, it's just Wizard's and Stig's little joke. ( I hope )
An aircraft landing is just a controlled crash.

in the spirit of larry grayson

Three guys go to see a witch doctor about their problems.

One has a smoking problem, one is an alcholic and one is gay but wants to change.

The docter puts a curse on them that if any of them indulge their habits again they will die.

Two days later the alcholic dies because he gave in and had to drink.

The next day the gay guy and the smoker are walking down the street together. The smoker sees a cigarette lying and the ground and stops to stare at ir.

The gay guy looked at him and said "if you bend over and pick that up we are both f***ed"

Finally India is getting a Race in 2009 after a couple of aborted attempts in 2004 /05. I am really looking forward to it and India has a lot of F1 fans. Also considering that India will be one of the largest Automobile markets in the World makes absolute commercial sense.
Almost everyone worth their salt are there and throw in a couple of Indian Automobile Giants plus corporates, F1 financial future should be good.
I am also sure that all the car manufacturers support the move as it increases their visibility in that part of the World with two of the Worlds fastest growing economies and also gives an opportunity for Corporates based there to showcase themselves.
All in all a sound commercial move.
Don't Fight Forces ! Use them

Whilst it is always nice to talk about historic tracks and races I do not agree with some of the above sentiments re camels and rickshaws. There are huge numbers of F1 fans all around the world (far more outside of Europe than inside) and they are also "entitled" to have race in their country. There are also tracks in Europe that suck big time (eg Hungaroring and Nurburgring). The key thing is whether Bernie can fill those seats in poorer countries. If he can then they are entitled to their races. With the increasing commercialisation of the sport and the manufacturers taking over the sport has to go where the markets are. If you don't like this then thing to target is the commercialisation of the sport, not the host countries.

Times change....
