2009 in One Word

Post by shinji »

Right now I'm fighting some boredom-induced imsonia, so I booted up the laptop and made this thread.

It's pretty self-explanatory - describe the year 2009 in one word, in F1 terms of course.

I'll start; Comeback
Better than 'Tour in a suit case' Takagi.

I know this thread was to get people to summarise 2009 in one word, but given that there's been a bad attempt at poetry already, I dare you guys to try writing a haiku to summarise the season.

I say this wearing my "Bonsai not banzai" t-shirt (for those of you who remember the 2005 ROTY competition-winning Takuma Sato tribute haiku).

Being bored at work, I'm in no fit state to start belting out some poetry, especially when my last effort was mocked on the Luca Badoer podcast :P...

My one-word review for 2009 is: Sea-change
