Sports - 10 November 2006

I work in an office overlooking Cabot Square, Canary Wharf, London (see streetmap reference below). My colleagues and I were wondering how fast a world-class Formula 1 driver (in a Formula 1 car) could tackle the chicane if approaching from the west end of West India Avenue, and following the one-way system around the north side of Cabot Square leading onto North Colonnade. Clearly, this would be under hypothetical ideal circumstances of clear roads, no pedestrians, good weather, warm tyres, etc. I'm looking for an estimated top speed through the chicane itself.

If that was too easy, it would also be interesting to know how fast a Formula 1 car could tackle a single circuit of Cabot Square, from a standing start anywhere on the square. How fast for a complete circuit of the Wharf?

Anyone got any ideas to help settle an office dispute?

I've been doing my research but it seems that there are so many options and prices.... that I just don't know to to buy.
Any suggestions?

I am a cheerleader and I have a big competition tomorrow.I got hurt last night during a stunt. A girl double spun in the air and came full force on my face. My braces got stuck in my lip and now I have a big bruise! Today, we are preforming for all of the other girls on our town to practice our routines. There is a sort of head coach who sort of fixes up all of the teams who I just can't stand. She is a witch! She dresses in all black and she is really skinny, and I know she will try to make me do things that can cause me to get hurt again. I am really afraid. Any advise on how to deal with her? And please don't telll me to tell her I am not comfortable doing things, because she will just tell me to suck it up!!!!! Any tips on how to deal?????? Thanks so much!

who was the guy that would give his whole heart to play the game. The guy that break through the line and rip apart the qb or running back. The guy that you see coming at you and you say holy**** and take off the other way ?

Last year we focused entirely on zone defense and I didn't think the kids were getting enough out of that. I would like to emplement man to man defense this year. Are there any drills for teaching man to man defense or does anyone have a suggestion?
