The brakes on my car are spot on!!!!! But after i hurl it rounda roundabout or any other long bend, if i then try and brake soon after the corner the pedal goes all the way to the floor and doesn't really slow me down. But then when i release and do it again it is fine (like it has built the pressure up again). Any ideas what it could be?

To me it seems like the wheel is loose so when you go round a bend the wheel moves and forces the pads back into the caliper.

HELP!!! It gets scary when i come flying round a corner to find a slow moving car and no brakes!!!!!

Jack it up and check all the nuts are tight, wobble the wheels as well whilst you're there to make sure bearings are all ok and the wheels are on good. Also worth checking calipers and discs for damage, or see if they're getting caught or stuck on anything. Also have a look at brake lines for signs of damage or being trapped anywhere. Failing that, try changing the brake fluid, see if that makes any difference?
