No more grid girls at WEC

Fat birds don't get cold!

Grid bloke, oh yea no Wonder it didn't take of. Brollys need garnishing with a bit of taste.

Don't think the teams publicity girls are banned, just the girls who hold the grid position boards and the brollies. Whether ACO will join in, we will have to see.
Silverstone can probably be blamed for this, after last years WEC, when 3 of the girls had to be treated for hypothermia because they hadn't been issued with suitable kit.
However the job will still have to be done, new career move for Leighla?

Barry, while you blame Silverstone, they do not hire the girls or supply them their clothes. That is an agency hired by the ACO/FIA.
As for the job still needing to be done, what job? They will now line up echelon along the pit wall, being placed by marshals (who already did the job) and team personnel

Jason, will the marshalls be pretty wearing sexy clobber?

[Lorry]

None of the girls ever looked comfortable - usually either cold or wet or both

But the words "organ" and "stops" keep going through my mind

[lofty]

Cold and wet at Silverstone? Perhaps you need to get out more often. The grid girls further South in the warm look nice and comfortable.

Who knew after all the years that brolly girls are the spawn of Satan!  This is laughable, my wife has been attending races for years, seen countless grid girls and has never once felt insulted, or demeaned by what they represent, hell, she's had her photo taken with Pirelli girls at Sebring.  She purchased a Honda Civic a few years ago, and I can safely say that whether or not Honda has grid girls at a race, was never a factor in her decision.   This is the WEC trying to be seen as forward thinking, or clever, but its much ado about nothing.  If someone is sitting around genuinally bothered about the social and moral impact of brolly girls? For crying out loud, they make medication for that...
There are far more important issues facing motor racing, and the world as a whole.

It was tough picking which of your posts on this subject to choose as an illustration of your (and other like-minded individuals') mind-blowing narrow mindedness and intellectual limitations but in the end this was my choice.

If ever we needed a reminder of why you now run with the tag 'Boorish Grobian' this surely is it...

Hey Oldtimer, its always fun to get under your skin.  Glad to be of service.
The more I think about this ban on grid girls, the more I'm convinced this is just a PR stunt by the WEC folks, drum up some controversy sort of thing.

You think about things!?

[Boorish Grobian]

Oldtimer, or should I call you Hooray (or do you prefer Mr. Henry).  I'm truly honored that you've chosen to take valuable moments out of your life (which you'll never get back) and devote them to taking shots at me.  I am so very flattered by your preoccupation with me, but before you get your hopes up, I should let you know in advance, I am married.
Just curious, do you actually have a opinion on the thread topic?

If you are unable to deduce my opinions on the thread topic from my posts then your intellectual limitations are more serious than I thought.
