#Ewe Tyre

[lime1991]

gotta be the most time consuming thing i've ever done

[thatnimrodmusician]

so we've had leclerc clean sweep on Friday, carlos cutting the grass, max enjoying the gravel, YUKI P3 MY LOVE, Alexandra and leo in the paddock, Leo meeting Binotto (ew), Sainz sr and Binotto in the same car arriving, bryan personally checking charles' tyres after fp1...

i need bryan and leo guarding that number 16 garage fr tonight bc if the car is shit tomorrow i might do something dramatic.

[f0point5]

whenever i hear about ocon's parents selling their house and living in a caravan (iirc) i just feel so bad for him. it really reminds me of all those traumatised child actors whose parents quit their job because the child can now be the breadwinner. obvs it's two complete opposite sides of the spectrum but both are such unfair sitautions to be put in as a child! esteban needing to succeed because otherwise his family would be broke forever?? (also i know that these decisions are often mentioned in a heart warming "oh look at how much my parents sacrificed for my dream" -way, but i find it so hard to look at it from a positive light. i'm sure they did it all out of love but i just can't imagine putting your child in such a tough position and putting that much pressure on them. i guess i just lack that top performance athlete mentality lol.) not to mention that most of these racing children hardly have a plan b career plan since they usually drop out of school. so now you have a kid who single handedly has to save the family from financial ruin AND has no safety net or plan b whatsoever. that's just insane and it's no wonder esteban is like that. he really has the ultimate rags to riches back story but his history gave him such a massive chip on his shoulder that he's just become unlikeable, which sucks!!! wish someone would grab his shoulders and shake him around a little and say: estieee!! youve made it!! stop driving like losing would full on kill you and just focus on getting the best out of the car and be the best you can be!! you'd think that someone with his backstory would be the last person who'd need to be humbled, but fucking hell he acts so smug and can be so delusional it's exhausting.

anyyyyways, apologies for dropping a full essay in your askbox, i don't even care about esteban lmao. it's just that whenever i do happen to think about him i just get so frustrated 🤷🏼‍♀️😬

have a lovely evening!! 💞

This.

I remember reading that once when I didn’t know too much about him and thinking, okay that’s a bit extreme. And then I thought about how much pressure that must have put on him. Pressure to succeed, but also just pressure in terms of that being not an ideal quality of life for a teenage boy. His parents made his life exponentially harder in every single way to support his hobby in the hopes that he could turn it into a career to support them. And then I thought about the fact that if he hadn’t been that 0.00001% that makes it, how much harder his life would have got, and how much guilt he would have lived with. They set him up to live with constant insecurity and instability, and to shoulder the burden of making that all worth it for them. Who does that to their child? I don’t care how talented you think they are, betting you’re financial security on that is imbecile behaviour. Even Esteban said if he were in his parents’ position he wouldn’t do it. Poor guy knows what it does to child.

It’s exactly like moving your kids to LA to be the breadwinner, except it’s worse because the amount of kids able to support a family on acting work is probably 10,000 times the the amount of drivers making enough money to support a family from driving alone. Statistically, there was a 0% chance that that gamble would pay off for them but they did it anyway. That’s worse odds than a slot machine. And they bet the house their son was living in?! Ew. Just ew.

And yeah, people say “look what my parents sacrificed for my dream” with affection when that dream has come true. But what would have happened if he hadn’t made it. “Look what my parents destroyed because they bet my future and theirs on my childhood hobby”. What in the damn hell. These stories are not in any way endearing to me - they’re just examples of narcissistic and irresponsible parenting.

And now I’ve just seen clips of a podcast he did talking about his childhood and I was almost tearing up for him. How he and his dad used to take tyres from the other kids’ karts out of the bins and reuse them because he didn’t have enough sets over a weekend, and how he didn’t go to birthday parties or on holiday because it was all focused on his racing. That’s a CHILD. And he was talking about how he and his dad would see Max and Jos and how everyone was intimidated by them but he and his dad weren’t…because they had literally bet their shirts on his career and couldn’t afford to be scared. That. Is. A. Child. What if he woke up one day and didn’t want to do it anymore? What if he wanted a life beyond what his parents chose for him by putting their lives on the line? Would he have been allowed to? I mean. No bloody words.

Again, anyone who says Jos is a problem father better be coming for the Ocons (and Anthony Hamilton).

The way he is is so clearly connected to the fact that he lived his whole life in survival mode. That guy moves through the world like the last meal he had was one he had to fight for in an abandoned warehouse. And fair enough it got him where he needed to go, but once you’ve made it, It’s the most unpalatable energy to be around, and it no longer serves you. And it also makes you look like an ass because how can you be a whole f1 driver and stink of desperation. Logically it’s clear why but it’s still just not a likeable combination. He probably knows that, but doesn’t know any other way to be. That’s why he has such an issue with teammates - he can’t not fight for things because he’s always scared someone is going to take something from him. He’s like a stray dog that you take in and they hide food in their bed because they think you might not ever feed them again.

I really hope he’s getting some therapy because the childhood is trauma-ing out in the open.

I think of everyone on the grid he’s the one I feel most sorry for, because of all the backstories that you hear, he seems the most unhealed.

But the levels of delulu is something else. That f3 season where he beat Max (racing for a top team while Max was in one that I don’t think had even won a race until Max won 10 in one season) really got him thinking they were on a level and he hasn’t let go of it since. He’s like “oh I look at it like I’ve never had the opportunity to go against Max because we’ve always been in different leagues of car”…as if there’s not a REASON. You’re out here like “he’s in a red bull” well why aren’t you? By your own admission you were on the same f3 track…helmut wasn’t looking for you bro.

Hope you don’t mind my essay back lol. I’m low-key obsessed with him because I find him so annoying but at the same time he’s like literary gold dust. He has such Main Character backstory. It’s just a pity he comes across so unlikeable to me. And the thing is, I genuinely think underneath it all he is a sweet person (delulu still, but sweet), but it just comes secondary to his survival mode personality.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 9, Part 5

As the snow fell the aliens arrived! They had all chosen their human form today in an attempt to get in the spirit of the season. After making sure her kids were inside Yolanda gave Suzanna a big hug.

Suzanna: Happy Winterfest

Yolanda: Happy Winterfest! Or is it Merry Winterfest

Marianna: I’m pretty sure I’ve heard humans say both

Yolanda: Then why don’t they say Merry Birthday

Suzanna: Pass

Tyree: Looking full of glee there Silas

Silas: I thought you were going to dress up to

Tyree: I wanted to but dad voted no. Attempted Winterfest cardigan it is

Ruth: You both look stupid

Silas: Oh come on Ruth, we’re kids, Winterfest is meant for us!

Ruth: My Mother says Father Winter is a horrible old man who keeps toys from toddlers

Tyree: But... we’re not toddlers, are we?

Silas: Did you get coal in your stocking Ruth

Pollock: Sydney! Sydney big like Pol

Sydney: Pol! Hi

The other toddler squeezed Pollock tightly to say hello making him laugh.

Pollock: You get gift

Sydney: Yes. Mama got me sun glass

Pollock: Sun glass?

Sydney :*points to sunglasses* They pro ect my eyes

Suzanna: You’re kidding! Why

Marianna: He was cute for a human and I felt like treating myself

Yolanda: I’ve just never understood the attraction to humans myself. Like they’re so... colour limited

Marianna: Colour limited, what does that even mean

Yolanda: They’re all white or brown or black. But aliens... We’re blue and purple and green and pink. So much more attractive

Suzanna: Wait are you saying you and Katherine have never had woohoo in human form

Yolanda: Oh watcher no, strictly alien form in the bedroom

Ethelyn: Oh I don’t feel good

Suzanna: Were you outside?

Ethelyn: I think I have a stomach bug, I needed the cool air for a moment

Yolanda: *turning to Suzanna* Mod?

Suzanna: Mod

Nihel: So it’s a traditional Winterfest thing

Adam: It is. Ham with all the sides

Nihel: I could have sworn it was turkey

Skinner: No they have turkey at Harvestfest

Adam: Sometimes they’ll even put one type of bird inside another to cook

Nihel: Ew! Humans can be so disgusting

Adam: No argument from me, but I will say-

Nihel and Skinner: *in unison* UFO Sixam aliens are worse

Adam: Well they are

Suzanna: Come here Moondust, it’ll be a little while until the grand meal is ready so I think you should have some cereal to tide you overnight

After lifting Pollock into the high chair Suzanna makes up some cereal for him.

Suzanna: Try not to spill too much, we want our guests to be comfy

Pollock: Okay Mummy

*ten minutes later*

Suzanna: What? Two food piles? How?

Pollock: *giggles*

Suzanna: Just stay there while Mummy cleans it up

Adam: LUNCH EVERYONE

Ruth: Finally, I’m starving

Yolanda: Ruth! Manners

Suzanna: Dear watcher, thank you for the feast before us. Thank you for the crisp snow and the friends we share. Jingle bells

Everyone: JINGLE BELLS

They all tuck in to the meal, Adam and his helpers did an excellent job with the food.

When the meal is over Adam and Suzanna say goodbye to their friends and Silas gets a headstart on the dishes so he can get stuck into his game again. With most aliens gone Suzanna ushers Pollock through the nursery so he can have a bath and dry off with plenty of time before bed. He’s a little confused as to why he’s not in the bath seat now but seems happy with the new freedom of motion. Especially how it lets him splash!

Pollock: Mummy help Pol potty?

Suzanna: Of course I can. But remember if you’re talking about Pollock you say ME

Pollock: Mummy help... me potty?

Suzanna: You got it

Pollock tries his best but again a puddle forms outside the potty and he stands sadly.

Pollock: Mummy me made mess

Suzanna: Well don’t stand in it or you’ll feel worse. Come here

She snuggles him close and helps dry his tears.

Suzanna: You know what I think? I think it’s time for more gifts!

Met Gala 2023 Presented By Me

With this year's theme being "in honor of Karl Lagerfeld", a fashion designer whom I'm learning from the fashion community is "ew", lets see what we got:

~The Models~

-Rihanna being fashionably late, wearing an egg?-like top that opens to reveal a simple yet beautiful dress (she's got a baby bump!); the "no shit" was iconic honestly

-Jared Leto fursuit (its cause he was dressing as Lagerfeld's cat)

-Harvey Guillen coming through with a lovely floral suit, I'm not usually one for light pink but his was very pretty

-Who let Lil Nas X have access to the arts and crafts box (but he looked stunning, the mask was gorgeous and he's got more confidence than most to pull off what I'm now calling a Full Bedazzle)

-Kristen Stewart going full butch queer, the eyebrows and hair were rugged inspired and most didn't like it but I think that was the point?

-Pedro Pascal and his knee against the world (as well as spreading the red is superior agenda cause it is)

-^ but with Salma Hayek cause holy shit this is the red agenda

-Bryan Tyree Henry continuing to remind me how much my taste in men has improved over the years because he is so fucking fine ANYWAY-

-Lizzo giving me feminine gender envy despite the odds

-Janelle Monae doing a Janelle Monae as is customary (I'd love to know what the inspo was for her if so let me know!)

-Bella Ramsey you are so gender thank you (and they served too, the Thom Browne suit with the white accents is simple yet very classy)

-Every year I give one (1) free pass for a man to wear a standard suit, this year goes to Ke Huy Quan because I couldn't say anything bad about him if I tried (at least he had some style, the fingerless gloves were cool)

-Obligatory Gwendoline Christie was there and existed comment by me because I am in love and I am not ashamed of it

-Florence Pugh's fit had mixed reactions, the shaved head, headdress and white dress look were really good but I think the way the dress came out had people not fully digging it, I can understand but I'll appreciate it nonetheless

-Anne Hathaway in all her fuzzy glory (the hair's a beehive on a very felted dress but like it worked? marks for originality and being able to pull it off)

-Loved Stephanie Hsu's bedazzled suit, won't be able to stop thinking about it actually

-Tems was stunning, I'm a huge fan of the floating leaves design we need more nature-inspired looks

-Olivier Rousteing and Jeremy pope slaying with their "Karl who?" and cape apparel

-Gotta shout out Yara Shahidi for going with something unique, the pearl's color palette works surprisingly better than I expected with the gold (personally I would have more gold trim in the top half but that's just me)

-Let Lady Gaga's outfit for the Met Gala this year be a lesson in misinformation because the pictures circulating Tumblr are not in fact from the 2023 Met, she didn't attend (it is a stunning outfit though)

-Jenna Ortega looking almost like a dapper pirate in the absolute best way possible the gender envy the style I am going insane

-Doja Cat living up to her name (Cats should take notes honestly the makeup was really good. She also kept answering reporter questions by meowing. Because she's Doja. Anyway.)

-Anok Yai's dress reminds me of those ornate beaded lampshades, I wonder if that's where she/her designer got the idea

-Emily Blunt giving me gay panic once again WHY IS SHE SO GORGEOUS (she's got a giant fucking bow tie that's what clowns wear why is she able to pull it off this is so unfair)

-Conan Gray looked like an actual prince I am obsessed

-I saw someone said Cardi B was giving goth Barbie and that is honestly the best way to describe it

-Yung Miami having a beautiful look cause her outfit was underrated this year

-I thought Emily Blunt and Bryan Tyree Henry were all I had to worry about and then Julia Garner came in with a steel chair

-Ella Fanning's look captivating me specifically

-And cause I can't comment on every person or we'd be here all day, go check out the underrated outfits from Amanda Seyfried, Alton Mason, Glenn Close, Sora Choi, Ava Max, Jessica Chastain, Taika Waititi and many more!

~Final Thoughts~

-The palette this year was very black and white... literally. Lots of outfits in black, white, or both. I'm not really into the fashion community so I wouldn't know but I'm guessing its a signature theme of Lagerfeld's? Let me know! I'm always down to learn more about other communities and their history

-I'm also assuming Lagefeld's got a thing for flowers cause there were a lot of flowers imbedded into the outfits, they looked lovely~

-As well as long flowy dress/coat tops cause there were a lot, and I loved how people mixed it in with the flowers. Lots of the men did it this year and it looked fantastic

-Speaking of, I'm proud of the men for actually dressing up this year omfg its insane how many male celebrities will go to a literal fashion event and pull up with nothing but a plain ass suit and though most of them this year did wear suits, there was much pizazz. Like, actual life put into those outfits. So yeah, you love to see it

-Overall, a very nice Met Gala. The crazy stuff came from the usual people who go all out, and we got plenty of highlights from people who embraced the theme, with the occasional unique look to really stick it out

Thank for reading and see you all next fashion event!

F1 2022 Re-Watch: Round 4 - Emilia Romagna 

Alrightly besties I’m back shouting about races that happened months ago!! (We can thank the ROC brain rot for reminding me to carry on with this). If you have no idea what’s going on you can re-read my previous post here)

All I really remember from this one is that Seb got his first points finish of the year (P8, woo!). So, on we go!

Fingers crossed I’m on the international feed this time

Unrelated I also have popcorn

Anyway F1 intro

(do do dododo do do dooooooo)

I am on the international feed 🥳 (hi Crofty!)

(ugh remember when Ferrari were leading both championships 😭)

wet/damp start???? I do not remember this whatsoever 

Seb in... P13. I’ll take it. (we get Sewis on the grid though!!)

ugh this was a sprint race weekend. ew.

iirc we’re gonna get some broken tifosi hearts today 😑

[Start/Lap 1]: Yup, Ferraris somewhat trounced at the start

oop Dan on Sainz turn 1 violence.

SEB INTO P9 THAT’S MY BOY!!!!!

aaaaand Safety Car

daaaamn Lando’s start was zoomy

[Lap 2]: Kevin??? in P5???? Viking power & midfield stay winning

Aston Martin safety car my beloved!!!

Teeeeeeed!!!! (I will always endure the rest of the Sky team for Ted)

[Lap 5]: SEB GOT PAST NANDO, THAT’S MY BOY

(insert quote from Abu Dhabi about how Fernando and Seb have always raced each other)

Seb in P8 🥰🥰🥰

Fernando racing Seb and Lewis on the same day, did we briefly go back to 2012?

[Lap 6]: Oh shit that’s a big hole in Alonso’s sidepod 😬

The Alpine said ‘fuck this shit I’m out’

[Lap 8]: The parallel of the Tifosi groans on lap 1 to the cheers when Charles got past Lando

Also, Imola actually seems like a good track. Not bad addition to the calendar (unlike all the new street circuits 😭)

[Lap 9]: Oof that Merc porpoising is bad

That’s a very ominous looking rain radar ngl

[Lap 11]: Kevin channelling his inner Gandalf with Russell

[Lap 12]: Val getting the popcorn out watching Kevin v George

The midfield once again providing the bulk of the entertainment. We thank you for your service.

[Lap 13]: Class zero to one rain???? What does that mean??? McLaren explain????

Seb sighting!!

Back to weather jargon, what the fuck is class zero rain?? a drop??? the weird misty rain that just makes everything damp. I need to know.

[Lap 15]: The inters are not having fun it seems. Make better tyres Pirelli.

Livery watch: Aston Martin preeeeeeetty 💚

[Lap 16]: Thank you Crofty for remembering that Imola is home race no 1 for Alpha Tauri too

(Yes, I am a midfield stan in case this wasn’t clear)

f1blr 🤝 Sky F1: roasting the FIA for their decisions

[Lap 18]: Seb in the pits for slicks 👀

pls don’t rain pls don’t rain pls don’t rain

[Lap 19]: And you pit for slicks, and you pit for slicks, everyone pits for slicks!!

Lewis on Esteban pitlane violence?????

Ferrari could have brought in Charles at the same time as Perez, but they didn’t. I’m having bad flashbacks. 

[Lap 20]: ayyyyyyy Seb P7!!!!

Alex got past Lewis???? I did not have Williams overtaking a Merc on my 2022 bingo

ew no don’t go to Horner I don’t want to hear his opinion on anything

[Lap 22]: We still don’t have DRS??? wild

the racing has been decent though

[Lap 25]: Lewis P14. Ouch 😔

[Lap 29]: Missing - Ferrari’s straight line speed. If found please return to Maranello

[Lap 32]: Also Missing - DRS. Please return to the FIA ASAP.

ugh, the race was fun when it was damp. It’s now a bit dull. Past half distance at least.

DRS RETURNETH!! 🥳🥳🥳

aww Mama Gasly. 

[Lap 38]: Toto sighting!!

Ted bringing up Seb unprompted. Big mood.

[Lap 41]: Verstappen lapping Lewis. pain.

[Lap 44]: Shit’s bad when Charles is asking about Plan D.

[Lap 48]: Yuki getting into P8!! good for him!!

no wait don’t get past Seb

ah shit is this how Seb drops from 7th to 8th?

Seb praise on comms though we love to hear it

[Lap 50]: Charles in the pits. Is this Plan D or E? 

ohhh the old ‘pit for the sofest tyres to get the fastest lap’ trick. nevermind.

asdfghjkl Red Bull pitting Perez to do the exact same thing. F1 is a Serious Sport™️.

Oh they’re pitting Verstappen too. alright then.

[Lap 52]: Oh damn Charles has caught up to Perez maybe Ferrari weren’t clowning.

[Lap 53]: Yuki has indeed caught up to Seb. by P7 you were wonderful while it lasted.

[Lap 54]: SHIT CHARLES SPUN WHAT

ohhhhhhhh no

Well, my memory didn’t fail me. We did get some tifosi heartbreak.

big oof at that replay.

[Lap 56]: Meanwhile Lewis still can’t get past Pierre.

[Lap 57]: Potential Bottas on Russell violence? 👀

5 Laps left. Perhaps my popcorn was a good idea.

[Lap 59]: And Charles gets past Seb. nvm.

Light rain at the last two laps????? Mum can you pick me up I’m scared. 

Livery watch: I’m begging McLaren to have less black and more papaya on the livery this year.

[Lap 62]: I’m not seeing any rain. Are we safe??? I feel like I’m being lulled into a false sense of security.

oop, Charles into P6

[Lap 63/Finish]: I had legit forgotten about Verstappen after he lapped Lewis ngl.

Lando P3!! Good for him!

Damn Russell just kept P4

SEB P8 FIRST POINTS OF THE YEAR HELL YEAH!!!!!

Double AM points finish too we love to see it.

Well, that was def a better race than Aus, despite the really dull middle section when there was no DRS. Still made I completely forgot that it was a damp/dry race, the opening laps were probably my highlight. The Russell/Bottas battle was v fun to watch even though they kept their positions. Overall, 7 and a half front wings out of 10. Up next... Miami 😶

Season Five, Episode Nineteen: The Beast Of Beacon Hills

Let's play Where's Mason? like Where's Wally? shall we?

Nice place to hide out, guys. Grim.

I knew Corey was onto Mason! Also, still smooth as hell.

Chill of the Dread Doctors to wait for the most dramatic time to arrive.

Good try Corey. But not good enough.

How To Make Friends And Then Murder Them, by Theo Raeken.

Is that the only time one of the Doctors is named in the show and not just in the credits?

Parrish's cheques must all go on tyres and clothes.

It's odd that they went so hard on Jordan and Lydia, then Stiles and Lydia (when Stiles wasn't even there for her to bounce off of) and then didn't go back to Lydia and Jordan once Stiles left.

Stiles should not have a gun.

Sneaky Corey is not so sneaky. You'd think he'd have like, no scent as part of his chameleon powers.

Hey, Mister Douglas, I see you.

"Your voice is getting on my nerves." - Theo, how dare you. Gideon Emery's voice is a delight.

Deuc reveal 1 of 2.

Owch, arm!

Yeah I don't think Deuc meant for you to kill Josh, Theo. You idiot.

That's a nice hat.

"How bout I punch you in the balls to remind you that we're not [on the same side]" - Line of the episode.

Evil!Theo is best Theo, he's such a fucking dick, I love it.

Garrett foreshadowing is fun.

Braeden's eating nuts, Malia's going nuts.

Oh doesn't this end with the "Theo's a failure" conversation?

Bye again Kira. She spends most of this season coming and going. The writers really didn't know what to do with her.

Stiles doesn't look comfortable like that.

Ew, twin absorption, Cassandra Nova style.

This conversation is so fucking sad, Cody acts his ass off here.

And once again Corinne's timing is impeccable. Also, fuck you Tracey.

The Dread Doctors' hypothesis is brilliant, tbh.

Uh oh, it's all going wrong.

Chekov's peanut shells.

Braeden really is the best, she literally never backs down, even against things she probably should lmao.

I assume the plan for Kira in Season 6 was just to...come back again, since she kept doing that anyway even when the Skinwalkers told her not to.

And there go the Dread Doctors, unfortunately :(

long read alert

Oct 2010

at this point in my life ..i was yet to be cured of my hero's complex

in my mind we were competing with Lagos Bikers ..Abuja Bikers .. Port Harcourt bikers

back then those were the only cities/towns with any considerable gathering of bikers

i thought it was my duty to rep Ibadan against all odds

on my polo top you would see C8 & M6

those were 'our badges of Honour'

C8 - C represented Calabar which was the destination for 2008 Biker's convention and the 8 indicates that only 8 of us went

M6 - M was for Makurdi ..only 6 of us went

that was the code ..that is how we separated the 'men' from the boys

PHC - Port Harcourt ..2010 was the year ..the shirts were branded before we knew how many were going to make the trip

and trust me! its near impossible to know just who & who will make the trip

and that brings me to the crux of my story

the name of the Club Steel Knights MC we collectively chose

the slogan "Never say Never" was all me !

i had prior to the time lost a daughter her name was Dami .. beautiful feisty Soul she fought to the end ..gave attitude to the end ... she blessed me with a never give in or up attitude ..and so when i coined the slogan

Never say Never

it was from the depth of my soul ..

and so we were prepping for this trip to PHC

daily trips was made by me to check on all the bikes that were scheduled to make the trip

the night before departure me as Presido at the time discovered that my bike clutch was slipping and that was it ..no trip for me or so it seemed

late into the night we tinkered and tinkered ..it was fixed but who wants to take such a risk on such a long trip

Ope ( a crazy daring soul ..the ultimate speed demon and yet with a good heart) had a plan that went like this

i was to take Don Tonyrowlandawobode Tee 's gixxer 600 ( i think it was to Ajah ) drop the 600 there and pick up Ope's gixxer 750 that he had just sold but yet to conclude the sale of and join the rest of the boys at Ijebu ode .... only thing was that the front tyre of the gixxer 750 was worn and so i needed to take a spare to change it along the way

sounded like a great plan ? it had to ! it was the only plan !😀

and so i set out at dawn ..made it to Ajah swapped bikes headed to ijebu to meet up with the pack

when i got to Ijebu i checked my messages ..they had proceeded to Benin

Benin down the road there ? i raced down as fast as the bad road would allow

i get to Benin they had moved so i sent them a message

"guys wait for me at Warri "

i get to Warri and get a text that they changed route and had decided to go thru Onisha ...

its Benin to Onisha or Benin to Warri

at that point, i realized i was on my own no big deal except for two or three minor details

1) we had pooled money together and given it to our pursuer to hold so i was traveling "light "

2) one over zealous police officer gave me the choice of being obtained or delayed ..thats a no brainer the choice i made

3) i had a tyre round my neck that i had carried from ibadan to lagos and now to warri and was now weighing a ton

never say never abi?

filled my tank and stuffed my last 100 bucks in glove

tyre change aborted

Patani straight !

then the rains started !

poor eye sight! glasses! torrential rainfall and helmet visor has never and will never be a good mix !

as usual i remembered my maker and prayed that prayer that i always pray "when i know i have done pass myself " "mo ti gu igi koja ewe"

"Father if you can just save me this one time, i will never do it again"

a prayer that God has heard from my lips time without number

most likely God Hissed and sha sent one Angel to sha make sure i got there in one piece

( that Song Anu ni mo ri gba tori ko'se gbo eniyan lori anu gba is so so precious to me)

approaching Chopa..i wan buy pure water .. i no find my las 100 bucks .. wind don blow am commot my glove ...i was dehydrated and it showed my riding had become erratic

i saw a police check point ahead and i stopped and asked for water to drink they obliged

the way i guzzled two sachet made him ask if i needed more ..he came with 6 more

i washed my face & my visor ..wet my head

thanked them profusely and continued on my way

that year i became a believer

"police is your friend "

take it from me you just dont know till the day you need them

interestingly one of those officers got posted to Ibadan and we became good friends

the worst was over i don reach Chopa abi?

for where?

the front tyre finally gave way .. it was late and still a few kilometers to final destination of PHC

but i was grateful that it did not give way when i was clocking 250 - 270km/hr on that beautiful warri road

na so i ride enter PHC on a front flat ..late at night with the spare tyre still hanging round my neck like an ammo belt

as i land at i think it was called Mosquito Bar or something

i saw men shaking their heads and saying Ibadan people sha!

my brother from another mother Paul Messan Ladipo Lawson of Ryker's Ride was there he had been checking on me from warri onwards

so if you are wondering why i looked the way i did in the picture below ..now you know

may we never ever look like what we have or are going thru

can i get an Amen ?

some day i will tell you all about the return trip.

Ewe Tyre... again!

I renamed her only slightly, its still pronounced the same way. a ewe is a female sheep and is pronounced the same way as yuu or you. her name is a pun. ewe tyre = you tire, but in using the word "ewe" it brings it back around to the fact that shes a sheep bc thats kind of just not addressed at all lol. anyway here she is yet again with the return of Buggy + a custom skullette.

2010 Monaco GP

Recap + GIFs !

Quali report : Alonso crashed in practice, damaged the chassis and couldn't take part in quali. The 3 new teams were out in Q1. Sutil was also out. Schumacher is 7th, Nico 6th. Not great. They got into each other's way it seems. Lewis is 5th. Jenson was blocked by Massa during his first hot lap and could only manage 8th with the second attempt. Seb is 3rd. Kubica is 2nd. Webber is on pole. Mclaren is struggling with the softer tyres.

Jennifer Lopez is here for some reason.

Jake talks with Lewis about his win in wet Monaco. Jake asks who was the man in the jacket he sprayed with champagne. Lewis laughs "P. Diddy!"

Jake asks what it's like watching one of his most famous wins in a few seconds with music like that (aka the lil montage they did). Lewis says he swears he's not watched a GP ever since he started F1 and misses eating breakfast on Sundays watching them and daydreaming about winning himself. He was extremely satisfied with the win. Plus they finally picked good music for the video! He makes fun of Jake’s taste in music. He says what makes a "Monaco driver" is having the guts to get close to the walls, which is harder than getting close to the grass. One mistake and your race is over. Jake says : “but you say that with a smile on your face”.

Lewis shrugs and smiles and says "yeah cause I enjoy it". They talk about Sterling Moss driving around here in a short sleeve t-shirt in the 50's. Lewis says he was awesome and he was crazy. They tell an anecdote that if he saw a lady with bright pink lipstick while driving he would give her a wave from the car.

Jake says "you don't look at the ladies while you drive" and Lewis says he only looks at one when she's here.

Jake says that’s the right answer and Lewis says “I know!”.

He says people claim he is an aggressive driver but he calls it passion, he drives with his heart. Ew he just called his car his queen that is so cringe. He talks about it using she/her. Eww ew ew. He says when he was sitting on the cockpit of his car in Spain after his puncture he was just thinking what a shame because he had enjoyed the race so much. We see images of him inspecting the tyre right where he stopped and he says a part of the car was rubbing on the tyre and it heated it and that's why it blew up.

Formation lap.

And they're racing!

Good clean start. Jenson is gone though? Yellow flags? Hulkenberg crashed at the end of the tunnel. Safety Car. It's a terrible place to crash. Alonso pits. Jenson just stopped too, his engine is smoking. He's out. Webber radioes "Charlie if you can hear me" and indicates where he sees debris on the track.

10 laps in, I mean… it's Monaco nothing happens. Webber, Seb, Kubica, Massa, Lewis. Just Alonso trying to overtake people to make up for the fact he missed quali. That might not end well. Lewis pits on lap 18. First of the front-runners to do so. Lewis is ahead of Alonso.

On lap 20 the stops are on-going.

Ouh second Safety Car in lap 32. Barrichello has stopped quite literally in the middle of the track facing the wrong way. Wow he crashed pretty bad actually. His car failed suddenly, he spun, and hit the barriers. He's out and apparently OK though. Lewis is back in 5th btw.

And we're only halfway through. I'm so bored.

Aha, third Safety Car. What now. Drain cover lose at turn 3. Safety Car in at the end of the lap. That was quick.

3 laps from the end, Chandhok and Trulli collide. That's gonna be a Safety Car again, surely? Holy shit. Trulli's car was on top of Chandhok. That's very scary. May I remind you they don't have halos yet? And the Lotus is on fire. But no Safety Car? Ah yep. Here it is. It's probably gonna end that way.

Btw that's 12 DNF over the race, so half the drivers are out now.

And it's the end of the race!

Webber wins from Seb it's another Redbull 1-2. Third is Kubica and Lewis is 5th.

Ah now there's controversy because the rules state that if the race ends when the safety car is deployed it gets into the pit lane at the end of the last lap and the cars are not allowed to overtake after that which Schumacher did. (Later he did get penalised and finished 12th).

Lewis says it was pretty boring lol you can't overtake he just looked after the car but 4 Safety Cars, it's still pretty eventful.

Surprise Party

Requested by: Anonymous

Pairing: Kevin x reader

Genre: Fluff

Characters: Kevin, Y/N, Gwen, Ben

Description: Kevin is getting jealous of all the time Y/N is spending with Gwen and Ben. Y/N is helping them set up a perfect surprise party for him to show how much he means to each of them. 

Kevin couldn’t understand why you were suddenly spending so much time with Gwen and Ben. You used to want to spend all of your time with him. He knew it was silly but he was beginning to feel a little jealous and you could tell.

You seen Kevin tense his shoulders whenever you mentioned going to see the Tennysons. The slight change in his expression and his body movements changed into anxiety and slightly angry. You really wanted to tell him why you were spending so much time with them, but you didn’t want to ruin the surprise.

Today was the final day for setting everything up. The walls in his old house were decorated with pictures of the four of them on all of your adventures over the past few years. There were a few wrapped presents in the corner alongside some of Kevin’s favourite food. It didn’t look like much but you knew how much Kevin would appreciate it.

“Are we sure that everything’s ready to go?” Your anxiety was slightly heightened at this point as the time to get Kevin was looming closer. Ben and Gwen looked at each other with small smirks before chuckling and nodding their heads. “Yes, Y/N. Go and get him.” You took a deep breath, grabbed your car keys from out of the dish and headed out of the front door towards your car. 

You pulled up alongside Kevin’s house and nervously got out of the car. “I really hope you like it, Kev.” Taking another deep breath, you headed up the path and knocked three times on the door. Kevin opened the door after a few moments, completely surprised that you were on the other side.

“Y/N? What are you doing here? I thought you were going to be gone all day?” A small smile lingered on his lips as he took in the sight of you before him. “Yeah, well. Things didn’t take as long as what I thought it would.” Kevin motioned for you to enter the house but you shook your head. 

“We’ve got somewhere to go first, Kev.” Kevin furrowed his eyebrows at you, confused. “And where would that be?” A playful smirk emerged onto your face. “You’ll just have to wait and see.” He slipped his shoes on and followed you back up the path. 

Kevin’s eyes widened as you pulled up to his old house. “W-what are we doing here?” A small tear trickled down his cheek as he remembered all of the happy memories he had made. You placed a hand on his cheek and wiped the tear away with your thumb. “I thought you might like to walk around your old house for a little while and you can tell me all about your childhood. Would that be Ok?” He silently nodded his head before slowly exiting the car with you following behind him.

Kevin stopped a little outside the house and closed his eyes. “You know, not all of the memories I have in this house are good.” You placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “I want to help you get passed them, Kev. I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you.” He took a slow breath before grabbing the doorknob and turning it.

“SURPRISE!”

Ben and Gwen jumped out from behind the sofa leaving Kevin a little bewildered. “Tennysons, what are you doing here?” “That would be my doing, Kev.” You took his hand and guided him more into the house. “I wanted to show you how much you mean to us, to me. This was the only way I could think of doing it. I hope I haven’t upset you.

He smiled and shook his head. “You have, in no way, upset me. This is the sweetest thing anybody has ever done for me. I’ve never had a party before.” You wrapped your arms around his waist. “Well, lets make your first party count, shall we?” Kevin leaned down and pressed a kiss to your lips.

“Ew, guys really? You couldn’t have saved that for when you were alone?” Kevin shot Ben a menacing look. “Can it, Ben.” The look alone was enough to make Ben be quiet. Kevin turned back you you, kissed your head and slowly made his way towards the presents.

He picked the top one up first, which was from Ben. “Trust the smallest one to be from you, Tennyson.” Ben rolled his eyes as Kevin sat on the sofa to unwrap the gift. He groaned slightly as the gift turned out to be the new Sumo Slammers movie. “Dude, stop trying to get me to watch this. It’s not going to happen.”

Although Kevins’ expression was annoyed, you could tell that he appreciated how much Ben wanted to share this with him. He placed the movie to the side and picked up the next gift, which was Gwen’s. “I hope you like it, Kevin.” Gwen gave a nervous smile as he tore off the wrapping to reveal some new tyre rims for his car.

“Of course I like it, Gwen. Thank you.” His smile was beaming by the time he came to your present. “I’ve saved the best for last.” You leaned over and squoze his hand as he picked the gift up and investigated it. “I wonder what it could be, it’s very small.” Kevin looked to the side at you before slowly unwrapping it and opening the box, which contained a golden ring.

His eyes widened, even more so when he turned to you. You were on one knee with a watery smile. “Kevin Levin. Since the day I met you, nothing has been the same. You have changed my outlook on life, you have made me a much better person. Ever since I laid eyes on you, I knew that you were the one for me. I love you so much. So, Kevin Levin, will you marry me?”

Tears were falling down his face, a large smile evident. Ben and Gwen were crying in the background. Kevin picked the ring up out of the box and slid it onto his finger. “It would be my honour, Y/N L/N.” 

You jumped up and wrapped your arms around his neck before slamming your lips on his. Kevin pulled you in closer before breaking away. “I can’t wait to be your husband and spend the rest of my life with you.”
