Thanks for your post. I hope to provide greater clarity and more significant evidence as I delve further into the issues, and I'll hopefully have the chance to examine each part in great depth. But if the dating site is as morally deprived as you claim it to be, couldn't it be that there are loads and loads of fake profiles on the site (created by the site itself) of which you have wby Locke Cole - Off-Topic
But for now, I’ll leave you with a closing pearl of wisdom. There are plenty of good reasons to sign up for an online dating site. But signing up, just because the site makes you think that there are people interested in you, is NOT one of them! Be careful out there, folks. Enjoy your browsing, but don’t get hooked.

Part 1 continued – The Power Of Persuasion Remember; online dating sites are not in business to help you find your soul-mate. They exist to take your money. With that in mind, consider the following anecdote… I registered with one site for free and started browsing some profiles. There was a handy function you could use called ‘Wink’, which basically allows users to declare interest in anotheby Locke Cole - Off-Topic
Part 1 – ‘The Hook’ People join online dating sites for all sorts of reasons. Some do it just for a laugh. Some do it to promote other aspects of their lifestyle, particularly “webcam girls” and aspiring models. Some join up because they’re writing a journalistic piece on how online dating sites operate. But the majority are undoubtedly those poor souls who haven’t had much luck meeting peopleby Locke Cole - Off-Topic

I've joined an online dating site! haha BUT - I have no personal interest in using it. This begs the question - why?? And you have every right to be intrigued. Basically I have done this at the request of a friend, who knows my love for writing and wanted me to do some "undercover journalism". Naturally, my ego couldn't refuse.

Why should Alonso change his helmet just to fit a new team's colour scheme? :s His helmet depicts the colours of his home region in Spain. I know several drivers arse around with their helmets but I respect those who don't change it. IMHO a driver's helmet is a sacred part of his identity.by Locke Cole - F1

Gav and Dave, you're missing the point. I was responding to a post that claimed F1 had become "dry". My post (and your subsequent discussion of it) proves that modern F1 clearly is not "dry". This is not a discussion about the quality of the racing, or the enjoyment we draw from it, or the health of F1 as a sport. If, and when, these things are discussed, I'm sureby Locke Cole - F1
I'd watch a film in pixelated monochrome 2D if the storyline was outstanding. No amount of CGI and graphical wizardry can dress up a poor story. "A turd wearing an Armani suit is still a turd."by Locke Cole - Off-Topic
Quote from the article: Speculation is, that the “dead zone” is an aerodynamic area, yet uncharted, where Bernoulli’s principals no longer apply and where the dynamic pressure is zero. Thus the name dead zone. Oh. My. My brain is close to imploding just thinking about the number of severe theoretical oversights that this sweeping, unsubstantiated statement makes.by Locke Cole - F1

F1 quite dry these days!? There is so much evidence to the contrary that it's not worth listing them all here. The only thing which is lacking is overtaking - and overtaking doesn't make great races. Everything else about F1 - the drivers, the politics, the glitz - is in better shape than it's been for years.by Locke Cole - F1
The suggestion about the points (IIRC 25-18-12....) was an excellent one. Let's hope it gets implemented. But the suggestion about 'overtaking lanes' is total muppetry.by Locke Cole - F1

No-one doubts that he's a massively talented driver for his age (maybe one or two doubters) but not many like his attitude. He is not God's gift to Britain, and he is not God's gift to F1.by Locke Cole - F1
