How to make a Singapore Sling
You'll want to drink it like Hunter S. Thompson does in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:
“We had actually been sitting there in the Polo Lounge – for many hours – drinking Singapore Slings with mescal on the side and beer chasers. And when the call came, I was ready. The Dwarf approached our table cautiously, as I recall, and when he handed me the pink telephone I said nothing, merely listened.”
Hol' up - isn't this the same bullcrap you posted for the 2017 race?
Yes. You try think of something funny about Singapore.
Uhu. Mongols?
No mongols in Singapore.
Is there anything cool about Singapore at all?
Apparently chewing gum is illegal in most places. And there's a limit on how many dogs you can own: Three.
I fully expect you to improve come your Russian preview.
I see that Singapore has joined the list of GPs to tell Liberty to sling their no grid girls ruling as they have no intention of not having Singapore Airlines girls on display as usual.
Singapore has joined a growing list of grand prix hosts who are sidestepping F1's 'grid girls' ban.
Organisers in Austria and Russia remained committed to using beautiful women to promote their respective races despite the controversial ban, and now Singapore is following suit.
Yahoo Lifestyle Singapore reports that major sponsor Singapore Airlines will continue to use its "iconic cabin crew as grid girls" at this weekend's race.
"Our cabin crew are brand ambassadors for Singapore Airlines and will continue to play an integral role in the upcoming Singapore Airlines Singapore grand prix," a statement read.
A public relations expert said Liberty Media and Singapore Airlines are simply at odds over the grid girls issue.
"Liberty Media sees the grid girl as a form of sexism since they typically exude a sexual persona with their scantily clad outfits," said Dean Shams, of the KinetigBuzz agency.
"(Singapore Airlines) and Singapore, on the other hand, see Singapore girls as a local icon. In that respect, they seem like a good fit to represent Singapore's brand of uniqueness and hospitality," he added.
Hope this is a good one. I am probably one of the few out there who likes 2 hour races so always look forward to this.
In its short history it's had quite a few eventful races already!
- Webber's weird mechanical failure under the bridge
- Piquet Jr and his antics
- Massa and his fuel hose
- Kobayashi flying over the sling
- Last year's big crash
I think you may need some new glasses. These crashes were not even at the same corner.
Didn't Schumacher also pretty much go on destruction derby in 2010?
Not 'his' type of track, clearly.
