Fantasy Formula 1 - Europe: The other stuff

Image
By
Wotcha. S'pose you want to know what the driver and team statistics were for the thrilling European GP. Oh, go on then...

Naughty corner: Anyone who thinks going back to the Valencia circuit is likely to result in an interesting race...

Hero: Did you watch all of the race without nodding off? Seriously? You, then. Definitely.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was... you guessed it... Vettel, with 26.

The top three drivers so far are Vettel on 193, Webber with 142 and Button on 129. 8 races in and Maldonado still hasn’t bagged an FF1 point. Just to remind you – you get points for moving up a place from where you started in the race...

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 194, McLaren with 165 and Renault on 130. Toro Rosso move up to 6th courtesy of Alguersuarus. Ahead of Mercedes!


Ollie C manages the impressive feat of adding himself to the top 3 high scores for second time... with the same score of 96 as he got once before. At the other end of the spectrum Aaron S manages the worst score so far this season with just 2 points. Jon also adds himself to the worst three scores with 7 teensy points.

Somehow, the championship leaders thus far have been Heather (1 race), Neil (3) and me (4). Considering my score this race was a gents underwear shop full of pants, I’m really quite surprised.

Gap from front to back has now shrunk to just 301 points.


Fantasy Formula 1: Where we all had a spiffing time watching the European GP and got a nice tan too. Hurrah for us!

Next race: Lock the door, disconnect the phone, put on your most recent British driver T-shirt (if it’s James Hunt, it’s time you popped down the F1 shops) and brace yourselves – it’s the British GP on the 10th of July!!!


(Moving on with the ancient LP's, I'm now listening to "Comic Relief Utterly Utterly Live!" from '86. Right on!)

A fisful of change at the shops

By
A recent day out reminded me how much the retail experience has altered during my lifetime – and it’s not all good. I could stop typing this, and buy a fridge, in a matter of seconds. The shops are shut and it’s 9pm, but I could still place the order and arrange delivery. I haven’t got to wander round a white-goods retail emporium trying to work out which slightly different version of something that keeps my cider cold is better. It’ll be cheaper, too. But in amongst the convenience, endless choice and bargains, we’ve lost some of the personal, human, touches that used to make a trip to the shops something more than just a daily chore. Last weekend, we visited a local coastal town. Amongst the shops selling over-priced imported home accessories (who doesn’t need another roughly-hewn wooden heart, poorly painted and a bargain at £10?) was one that looked different. It’s window allowed you to see in, rather than being plastered with stick-on graphics and special offers calling ...

Making an exhibition of yourself

By
Now and again, it’s good to reaffirm that you’re a (relatively) normal human being. One excellent way of doing this is to go to a business exhibition. Despite what you might have surmised from reading my previous columns, I am employable, and even capable of acting like a regular person most of the time, even joining in the Monday morning conversation about the weather over the weekend, and why (insert name of footyballs manager here) should be fired immediately. The mug! True, there are times, often involving a caffeine deficiency, where it is like having the distilled essence of ten moody teenagers in the room, but I try and get that out of the way when people I genuinely like aren’t around to see it. As part of my ongoing experiment with what others call ‘working’, my ‘job’ involves me occasionally needing to go and see what some of my colleagues get up to outside the office, and what our competitors do to try and make sure that they do whatever my colleagues do better than ...

Shouting in the social media mirror

By
It was always tricky to fit everything you wanted into the intentionally short character count of Twitter, especially when, like me, you tend to write ridiculously long sentences that keep going on and on, with no discernible end in sight, until you start wondering what the point was in the first place. The maximum length of a text message originally limited a tweet to 140 characters, due to it being a common way to post your ramblings in Twitter’s early days. Ten years later, we’ve largely consigned texting to the tech dustbin, and after a lot of angst, the social media platform’s bigwigs have finally opted to double your ranting capacity to 280. Responses ranged from “You’ve ruined it! Closing my account!” to the far more common “Meh” of modern disinterest. As someone rightly pointed out, just because you have twice as much capacity doesn’t mean you actually have to use it. It is, of course, and excellent opportunity to use the English language correctly and include punctuat...
