    Yep...Lewis NEVER did that :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    He did have a personality.

    You refering to him as Scum however...truly impartial you are.

    I know of someone in this thread Scum applies to and it certainly isn't Michael.

    Correct. Lewis doesn't have Schumachers reputation of ramming and cheating. Lewis never was disqualified for a season for ramming some one. It's Schumachers reputation. Own it.

    They have had a good test of fair-play yesterday, after an historic 53 to 10, and at Twickenham to boot...

    I'm sorry, but here you are wrong:
    There is a very old french equivalent to "fair play" which is simply: "être beau joueur". That is exactly the same meaning.
    As for sportmanship, I would use "avoir l'esprit sportif", but there is perhaps something even better.
    The french langage always has unexpected ressources.

    [...] because these notions are alien to the French [...].
    This rang a bell; I knew that I did read this elsewhere, in a book, but it took me about half-an-hour to remind me where; the old memory is a bit rusty these days. It's from Trevanian, in "Shibumi" (1979):

    « Le Cagot had been educated in France, and the concept of fair play is totally alien to the mentality of the French, a people who have produced generations of aristocrats, but not a single gentleman; a culture in which the legal substitutes for the fair; a language in which the only word for fair play is the borrowed English. »

    Rodney William Whitaker (June 12, 1931 – December 14, 2005) American film scholar and writer who wrote several novels under the pen name Trevanian.
    Whitaker wrote in a wide variety of genres, achieved bestseller status, and published under several other names, as well, including Nicholas Seare, Beñat Le Cagot, and Edoard Moran.
    Whitaker adamantly avoided publicity for most of his life. His real name was a closely held secret until 1998, when a reporter for the Austin American-Statesman published it.

    That was one of our rare litterary moment.

    From my own experience, I would concur with R.W. Whitaker's quote.
    But it's a subjet too deep to discuss here.

    Never heard of Crapilton? Where have you been living! He shows up most sundays driving a black taxi! If you don't know who he is, just look behind the other taxi driven by his team mate, Boy George!

    MSC was certainly no self-styled celebrity and didn't crave adoration. He was here to race.

    "personality" is good for reality shows and WWE.

    I will have a good laugh in the coming years when we will discover the dark side of our two best lecturers aka Lewis and Vettel.
    Don’t forget lecturers are always the worse ..

    Indeed; at least we would need to share two or three bottles of the best "claret" to share our views, if not to agree on the matter; surely you remember that us French do not trust anything coming from the other side of the Channel: "La perfide Albion".
    (As for the claret, "Haut-Brion" would be fine, not only because it is among the best, if not THE best, and the oldest documented, but also because it was originally tailored to the british taste...)

    Perfectly possible, even enjoyable and recommended sometimes: but as always, the key is to match the two; "some" reds might be great with "some" fish...
    I know you can read french, Pedro

    (But we ARE derailing the thread)
