Well done all, and thanks, @Mi-Amigo for putting up with the furore 😁😎🤠
Well I did not get the link between Schumacher and Cordwainer, Im afraid @pgn (Silly me) I just saw a gif of the biggest cheat in F1 jumping up and down ....and I'm afraid the red mist descended
If you don't follow F1 you would miss all the arguments regarding who is the G.O.A.T. in F1 between MS v LH...when it's quite obvious LH is.
The furore which followed was all in good humour..

A good-natured furore it was, @Cleoriff - although I was not about much and thought I might have to go cower on TNS for a while for a bit of P&Q 😉
All in the best possible taste of course.
It's a good job I'd forgotten about TNS @pgn
I should have sent you there with a book on the 10 most dastardly cheating misdemeanours of Michael Schumacher... You would learn a lot, tho I fear you may still be sitting on the step thinking WTH??
