Fantasy Formula 1 - Italy: The other stuff

By
Well, hello. Jolly nice of you to drop by. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a stiff one and join me, your miserable host, for some random FF1 stuff to do with the really rather splendid Italian GP.

First up, here's the driver and team statistics! Woo! Yeah!


Naughty corner: I would say "stand up Tonio Liuzzi", but he'd probably get that wrong, fall over and knock several innocent upright people onto the floor too...

Hero: JB was outstanding once again. Whilst Lewis spent most of the race trying to pass Schumi, Jenson bided his time then nailed both of them. Star.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was the Aluersaurus, with a fab 28 points.

The top three drivers so far are Vettel on 295, Button (up 1) with 213 and Alonso (up 1) on 208. Webber drops out of the top 3. Whilst everyone pats Bruno Senna on the back, let us forget not little Nick Heidfeld, who is still the 7th best FF1 driver!

The top three teams so far are Red Bull on 299, McLaren with 290 and Ferrari on 224. 4th best team to own currently? Toro Rosso. Cripes.

Henry stays at the top of the table, making the leaders so far: Heather (1 race), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1), Henry (2).

Front to back gap? For the first time in ages, it's gone up: 309 points.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where Ricciardo is just crossing the line.... oh hang on, he's still got another lap to go.

Next race: Fun in the dark! Fingers crossed for rain and a tough day out for Seb as we head to Singapore on the 25th of September.

Fantasy Formula 1 - Hungary Results

Sometimes there's a wonderful "huh?" moment in F1. Today's was when the lights didn't go to red at the start, but flashed green and yellow. I'm sure all the drivers are briefed, and everyone knows the drill, but they all just sat there - no-one wanted to be the first to move. In the most high-tech sport in the world, it took Charlie Whiting waving at them to make them go. To be honest, it wasn't the most thrilling of races, but Happy Hamilton "The slow boys won't get out of my way! It's not fair! Boohoohooo - I'm telling Charlie!" winning does mean the front end of the points table still looks deliciously tight. What we really need now, as the excitement level ramps up, is.... to take 5 weeks off. Dammit. Still, to keep you occupied, I want you to memorise the points you all scored today. It's easy to remember mine. I came last... RACE RESULT Position Name Point...

Faking it for real

By
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...

Welcome to Costa del Barrow

Feel that sudden chill in the air? It’s winter, heading this way. Or you’ve left the fridge door open. One of those, definitely. According to people with the word ‘meteorologist’ somewhere in their job title, it has been the driest September since records began. Hardly surprising, really – the wettest winter on record immediately beforehand almost certainly used up all the available rain in the sky early (Note to self: check the sciencey stuff, it doesn’t sound quite right). With just 20% of the normal rainfall of the most Septembery of months, 2014 trounced the previous record holder, good old 1959. Whilst this may have led to less plump courgettes, and parched blue tits mugging you for your bottle of mineral water, it does have a beneficial side-effect: Your granddad will finally have to stop saying “Dry? You don’t know what dry is! When I were but a lad...” Clearly disappointing for grandpops, especially so soon after the “Wet winter? Pah! When I were but a lad...” sto...
