Fantasy Formula 1 2011 - Monaco results

What-ho, chaps!

Well the annual romp around the principality was highly entertaining, wasn't it? Not least because a certain McLaren driver with an odd 'beard', oddly big sunglasses, odd girlfriend and massively big chain of Harry Ramsdens on his shoulder went off on one post-race, and displayed a level of paranoia, by implying that everyone and everything is out to get him, that was breathtakingly arrogant, but bettered only by trying to drop in an Ali G "Is it because I is black" joke that seems to be backfiring more that an HRT on a bad day.

Good luck with that one Lewis. You may just have alienated a very large segment of your remaining fans by coming over as a spoilt, petulant child.

Anyway, you want results, not my rambling. Happily, I can oblige...


Which does the following for the all-important running total:



Yes. I am still in the lead. Bwahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!

Ahem. Race report and other stuff to follow...

(Tonight on BBC2 at 10pm there is the first of a two-part documentary about Queen. In honour of this occasion, I am currently listening to Freddie Mercury's "Mr Bad Guy" LP from 1985.)

Faking it for real

As Donald “I’m really great, everybody says so” Trump is so fond of pointing out, there is a lot of fake news around nowadays. Honest. Your friends at Facebook think so too, and have recently been publishing their top tips for spotting false news – by placing them as ads in newspapers. Considering they came in for considerable criticism themselves, that’s like shouting “Squirrel!” and pointing at a tree whilst you hastily kick away the prize begonias you just trampled. To help you make sense of this (and because I’m a caring person), I thought I’d run you through their suggestions and help to explain them for you. I know. I’m lovely. 1. Be sceptical of headlines READING THIS ARTICLE WILL IMPROVE YOUR SEX LIFE!!! And explain that catchy headlines, or stuff all in capitals might be a bit iffy. 2. Look closely at the URL You can find out more about this at www.wowyouregullible.com if you want to understand how phony web addresses are a sure sign of dodgyness. 3. Investigate...

Going Underground

The US presidential election and Brexit must have made me more nervous than I’d realised. It seems I’ve created an underground bunker without realising I was doing it. Still – we’ve all done that at some point, right? No? Ah... In that case, the fact that I have inadvertently turned my cellar into a rudimentary survival shelter, just in case it all kicks off, demonstrates a severe case of bunker mentality. Fretting about Donald and his wall, and Hillary and her emails, clearly made me more paranoid that I thought about the possibility of WW3 kicking off. Whilst attempting to find a specific size of imperial washer the other day (turns out I’d mis-filed it in the nut cabinet – Tsk!) I was struck by what a lot of jam and chutney we have in the cellar. And I do mean a LOT. There are boxes of boiled-up sugar and fruit and more boxes of boiled up vinegar and fruit. We’re still only part way through 2015’s output too. Then there’s the plastic containers holding pasta in various for...

When in Rome...

...have a Grand Prix. Seems that the idea of a street race around Rome is on the cards. That'd be pretty exciting, wouldn't it? Any other suggestions? Basingstoke? Didcot? Reading? "And here's Alonso on Broad Street, just past Heelas and getting dangerously close to the Marks & Sparks cardigan display".... No? OK then. (More MP3 toons - Enigma "La Puerta Del Cieulu")
