Less embarrassing, and more foxy?

Is it some kind of weird multi-person mashup in your head, or can you only think about all three at the same time?

That's for me to know, and you to find out.

Come on mate, it's just a bit of joking around. I don't mind Foxes, I like some of her songs.

I don't have embarrasing secrets, but i do embarrasing things like this

(Do you really want to see it? REALLY?)

Yes, I'm afraid we do. Otherwise it becomes an embarrassing secret and then we really REALLY have to know.

Sometimes i feel a bit alone cause my "fangirlism" to Foxes, almost nobody here in Spain understands this, even my bigger brother is making jokes with her (his favourite joke objective are her lips), i'm a suffered man

Just sitting there, whimsically thinking about a meet and greet gone horribly right with Paloma Faith, and your brain's telling you: "think about Kate Nash...go on, do it...that's it, get some butter involved..."

I'll willingly admit to being partial to Foxes myself. However, landed gentry refused to comment on the matter...

On the subject of non-F1 related avatars, I need to know what Ataxia's avatar is all about (I assume its band/TV/film related).

Also, I'm dropping the Ralf avatar soon. I can't have Klon getting excited every time I post.

Unless you're being ironic.

I'm certainly not being ironic...I'm a big Radiohead fan as well as of Thom's other projects.

Hello, my name is Frans, I'm from Grathem in The Netherlands.
I've frequented this site for a few years but finally I've decided to make an account.
I've been a racing fan since 2001, it all started when I was watching the Brazilian GP with my mom and dad and saw the awesome overtake from Montoya on Schumacher.
My favourite reject has to be Jan Lammers, and I managed to get his autograph at the Historic Grand Prix Zandvoort last August.
My favourite driver of all time is Juan Pablo Montoya, his outright speed and overtaking skills are very appealing to me.
I also have his autograph but sadly I have not met him.

My favourite racing series is the World Endurance Championship, I also follow: DTM (went to last year's event at Zandvoort), WTCC, V8 Supercars, European Le Mans Series, Dakar Rally and of course Formula One (I am pretty sure I am forgetting some series).
My interests besides motorsports include: video game collecting, history and music.

Nah, I'll probably awkwardly ask him to sign something, just like when I met Jan Lammers last year.

I love rock. My favourite bands include The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Who, Nirvana and Kasabian. I also love blues and classical music, as well as video game music, especially Nobuo Uematsu, who composed most of the music for my all-time favourite series of video games, Final Fantasy. Metal is not something I normally listen to, but I usually enjoy it when I do. Reggae is awesome!

Hello guys!
Been lurking around for a year or two and decided to create an account for the banter and to take part in the fantasy series. My nick is a random drunken idea of mine. And my rejectful Paint.NET skills got me the picture. lel
I am really intrigued by the ones with actual drivers and series. Actually, my first post here was an application to a WTCC series.

On a personal note, my name is Gábor, aged 19 and I'm from Budapest, Hungary. I love every type of motorsports from NASCAR through BES to F1. My favorite series at the moment is BTCC.
Currently, my favorite driver is Josef Newgarden. My favorite F1 reject, profiled or not is Fabrizio Barbazza, although my favorite reject is an obscure Indycar driver named Tyce Carlson.
Used to be and I still am a HUGE fan of Minardi F1.

I consider myself a stat geek and I am open to discussion on many series or drivers. Hopefully I'll become a good member of a great community.

Hello, my name is elfroggo, and I live in the Pacific Northwest USA. It's boring there. I'm a huge fan of motorsports and racing of any sort. I worship HWNSNBM, because I know what it's like to get hit with flaming papayas. Also a random thing, I'm friends with wmetcalf (I'm older than him though :lol:

The fixed post clearly said you are younger than most zygotes. So that means not all of them. Some zygotes, like for example Max Verstappen, are obviously younger than you.
