In racing, Sofuogku is like Hamilton

    I am bowled over by the success of Kenan Sofuoglu, the young Turkish
    rider who has taken the World Supersport series by storm, and is
    already this year's world champion. Unlike most m'cycle racers (and I
    like 'em all by the way), this young chap is completely natural, even
    shy, and not at all a joker or show-off or whiner or ego.

    Today it made me think of Britain's Lewis Hamilton; although he is in
    a much bigger circus with enormous pressures and publicity, Hamilton
    seems to be a very calm and rooted person. The coincidence that both
    of these chaps are not white, in sports which are almost 100% "anglo-
    saxon" in culture and tradition, is very striking. I think it could
    be a sign of better things to come in the world.

    I think he's trying to say "Watch out, honky, the darkies[1] are
    taking over", but in a non-racist way.

    [1] I can say this, at the moment I am darker than 2 of my Asian
    friends.

  8. I thought that to be the necessary darkness of soul for an MIB.

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.

  9. Seemed to be, up until Saturday's little contretemps. Alonso, who up
    till now hasn't shown the slightest trace of overwhelming ego, was
    suddenly accused of blatantly blocking his team-mate in a move worthy of
    the Great St Michael at his worst. Very odd.

    Hamilton needs to be watched for prima-donna tendencies, imo.

    Maybe not "overwhelming", but there have been plenty of flashes of
    temper and this appeared to be just another flare of Latin fury.
    Maybe, although he's generally conducted himself well. To be honest,
    couldn't blame him if his head did expand to the size of a planet.

    Even more powerful than the TOS(tm), that hip dislocation would smart
    a bit.

    Well, with high-speed, close-range whooshes like that ruffling the
    brush cut, it isn't very likely, now is it?
