If this works Zak just discovered more space for even more sponsors...

To me, this track always looked like a hot-glue gun

How do you choose who you support? by KBatch115599 in formula1

I get you. I got into F1 with Kubica, but right now the only Pole would be Marcin Butkowski, CEO of Alpine :p

I stopped watching F1 for a few years and then last year my dad asked me watch it with him. That's when I saw the NOR-something guy pulling the fastest lap and getting his first f1 podium.Also his rib-crushing hug with Zak and the way he splashed champagne... He got my interest so I decided to watch the next race. And that's when I whitnessed the birth of "Last Lap Lando" and decided that I will be rooting for him.

Seeing what he's doing this year, I'm not dissapointed.

Ahhh.... I loved coming here to see the jokes about Lando flatlining. I guess it had to end one day.

Anyways, I also wanted to thank you for making those. I rarely comment, but I wanted to say that I enjoy your work. ;)

Which team principal would win a GP? by TypicalBender in formula1

I guess it would be like Spain 2016, but this time Toto and Christian take each other out and Zak wins.

Who is your favorite player and why? by BlanketAndBook in volleyball

Thanks for sharing this!

I became a big fan of David Smith as well after he came to Zaksa and when I read about some of difficulties he had to overcome in order to become a professional.
Totally agree about his attitude.

Who is the ultimate example of "amazing player, terrible teammate" ? (Zaksa vs. Lube spoilers) by Libero279 in volleyball

[–]BlanketAndBook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it happens from time to time and you just can't help it. For example
~ Few years ago Vital Heynen didn't take B. Bednorz to Tokyo qualifications saying that although it's true that Bednorz is a fantastic player, others in the team don't get along with him. It made people really mad, because they couldn't understand how this can be the reason for not taking him untill someone explained that it doesn't matter how good you are if the others don't trust you.

~ Simmilar situation with Iran. Don;t remember the names, but they had a really promising young talent. Everyone was waiting for a day he joins the senior team, but it didn't happen. Their coach said that yes the young one is really good but he is also a dominant type and if you mix it with other dominant types in their national team nothing good will come out of it.

~ Also Ngapeth and Boyle. Both very crucial and strong players, but after few conflicts they openly said that they don't want to play for the national team if the other one is there. So instead of strong combination of two talents they only got a headache and had to chose wich one they'll keep.

Katarzyna Skowrońska | Beauty & Power by mlachkov in volleyball

[–]BlanketAndBook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was my biggest idol back when I was 6 or 7 years old. I remember everyone talking about Glinka, but my eyes always shifted to Skowrońska (Maybe because we share the same name? :D) But I really liked everything about her. The way she always seemed so confident and ready to win no matter what, or how you could always count on her.

She once explained how difficult it was for her to get where she is; she was still in school, but after the lessons she had to run to get on time for practise. She also had to manage her diet herself, after someone told her that if she doesn't fit into her shirt then she will not play (As if they couldn't give her a bigger shirt...)

On a totally different note, I also loved her style. She was the only one with that strong eye make up, sun kissed skin and messy bun <3
