Just in light of Susi's little reminder on the picture page I thought it might an idea to start a new thread that can kind of run alongside the picture thread.

Obviously posting pics leads to other conversations etc, which inevitably stray from the threads purpose....

So, if we look at Ben on there, let's talk about Ben on here!!!

I'll start off by saying I really hope to see him at the F1 with Daniel this weekend ;)

Good idea!

And so do I, and I might even get to see it over here... the media is a bit excited about Magnussen's debut!

Hope you get to see!! Our coverage in the UK is huge, we have our own channel dedicated to it. And my hubby is a big fan so he will want to watch it whoop!!

The always let the celebrities walk the grid before the race and then whichever team is hosting, will let them in the pit garage during the race. I reckon they'll be with Mercedes or mclaren ;)

They're only covering it on a channel I don't have... but I think the news will cover it heavily here.

And the local theater are streaming it I think.

I'm hoping to find a live stream or something... I've always loved watching Formula 1 since I was a little girl, and now with a chance of Ben. OMFG

There will be tons of streams, tell you what one is good, Wiziwig x

xD, trust me I keep thinking the same thing when they talk about him on the news!

I've just had a horrible thought....

Ticket news in May....I'm in florida until may 10! What if they go on sale while I'm away???

Shiiiitttttt

This Is The Phantom Lady · March 28, 2014 11:32 am

I hope it works out!

Ugh, I'll be so busy working for the Eurovision until May 11th myself... I doubt I'll have time for anything else!

Aaaaargh! And I won't have any cash either

*Deep breaths* No, it has to happen. it is going to happen!

Tinks · March 28, 2014 11:51 am

Don't worry girls! Clare maybe you could get someone at home to text you and let you know what the ticket details are?
Personally, I think it will be news on when they're going on sale, and how they'll be allocated - seems to early for them to actually be on sale then, I'd think - so a bit longer to save, hopefully Phantom!

And thanks for setting up this thread, Clare x

clareiow · March 28, 2014 12:14 pm

I hope so Tinks, for mine and Phantoms lives!!!

No worries, this can be like a chat room eh?

rebeccaholmes · March 28, 2014 12:24 pm

Brilliant thread idea, Clare!

I can't wait for the F1, were very pro-F1 in my household, my dad and I are huge fans!

Looking forward to it!

clareiow · March 28, 2014 12:27 pm

Ooh we can all chat on here while it's on! I have to be at work at 11 tho, hope it's all done by then! X

Tinks · March 28, 2014 12:49 pm

That's a great idea! Hope I can manage to get on while it's running - I might faint if they speak to him before the race though;)

TeeJay · March 28, 2014 1:14 pm

Maybe this is a bit of a stupid question, but what is F1, and what does it have to do with Benedict? *hides in the ignoramus corner*

SolarSystem · March 28, 2014 1:18 pm

F1 is Formula One and the next race takes place in Kuala Lumpur and Benedict seems to be still there, so...

clareiow · March 28, 2014 1:44 pm

Yes perhaps we should rename the thread

Get Ben off your chest (lol!!)

Or on it....if we're feeling cheeky ;)

Tinks · March 28, 2014 1:46 pm

I like it! He does look good in a long coat doesn't he? I've been known to stop and stare at that cover in the DVD section of the supermarket!!

Tinks · March 28, 2014 1:50 pm

Can you imagine what it would be like in 3D????
*dies*

clareiow · March 28, 2014 2:07 pm

My mate has a 3D TV and has this, when he puts his arm thru the glass it's amazing. Apparently. I'm still waiting for her to invite me round for the experience but I think she's keeping him to herself!!
