No point in restarting this thread. GB is gone and now there's no one to troll.

I'll bet if I started a 'What do you think of the moderating here' thread he'd be back in minutes.

Did GB make an official exit or has he just been busy with other stuff? I see him in plug every once in a while.

Nah, he left in a huff. He didn't like the uber-feminist vibe of the forum when Sansa was here. Then when she was banned he didn't like the dudebro vibe and told the forum to go **** itself.

Have a look into the fitness of F1 drivers. They will lose kilograms of sweat during a race, burn a ton of calories, heart rate 170+ for two hours straight.

It's incredibly tough on the body. They also have to keep their weight down.

Jenson Button finished a triathlon in 4 hours 40 mins, fast enough to qualify for the World Championships in the triathlon but he just does this shit to stay fit enough to race his car as well as he can.

Many people tend to underestimate the prime athletic status of Formula One drivers. All they do is sit in a car and spin the wheel for a couple of hours, right? Hell, you do that every week without getting any fitter, so how hard can it be? In actual fact, to drive an F1 car at high speeds for two hours without rest requires an extremely high level of muscular endurance and core strength.

For F1 drivers, the most important area to work on is core fitness. Not only will a strong core help prevent injury during crashes, but a strong waist and neck are also vital when it comes to withstanding the G-force pressures the drivers’ bodies are subjected to when cornering at speed and braking and accelerating quickly.

He miss his calling, he could the best troll this forum ever saw since Wendy Cal, just didn't have it in him for the long haul I guess. Sad really, Hermz gets perma-banned something he was Jonesing since forever, and in pure elation GB does the Irish jig... right off the cliff. Never to be seen again.
