Fantasy Formula 1 - Turkey: The other stuff

Hello, kiddliwinks! Hope you've been behaving yourselves? As I'm luxuriating on a day off, here's the other bits and bobs for your delectation, starting with the driver and team statistics:


Tough weekend for Andy in FF1, as he adds himself to the worst scores of the year with a miserly 12 points.


Naughty corner? Has to be Schumi methinks. A bunch of tired old attempts to out-muscle other drivers failed dismally and left him looking pretty daft. Bus pass on standby.

Hero? I say Kobayashi! The baby-faced assassin bagged a points finish from last place on the grid.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Kobayashi, garnering a rather massive 29 points.

The top three drivers so far are Vettel on 97, Webber with 85 and Hamilton on 63. Perez managed to bag a couple of FF1 points this race, leaving Maldonado the only driver not to score so far. Kobayashi’s great race moves him up to 6th, ahead of Alonso!

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 97, McLaren with 81 and Renault on 56. Hispania are joined by Williams as the joint worst team to have picked this season.

Neil manages his 3rd race out front, having taken over the lead from Heather after the season opener. His closest challenger is, remarkably, me!

Five more of you no longer have a minus against your score, the backmarkers are less than 200 points from having nothing and the gap from front to back is now reduced to 338 points.

Next race: 2 weeks shall past before we turn up in Spain on the 22nd of May. Except me. I’m working. Gah! Expect delayed results that weekend too. Sorry.

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.

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")
