Fantasy Formula 1 - Korea: The other stuff

Two F1 weekends in a row. Mmmmmm....

Sadly, for us skint BBC viewers who can't afford to get a dustbin lid nailed to the side of their home, that's almost certainly the last time it'll ever happen, in terms of the full, live, coverage at least. If the Beeb only show half the races live next year, I doubt they'll show consecutive ones only a week apart.

Permission to say arsebiscuits? ARSEBISCUITS!

Anyway, on with the show! Here's the driver and team stats for you.


Naughty corner? Petrov. He came from so far back in that attempt to pass Schumi, he actually started the move last month. Foolish boy.

Hero: I think that goes to the blue-eyed superstar DJ Alguerserious. Finishing 7th means you've only been bettered by Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull. And he did it in a Toro Rosso. Nice work! Now, turn that racket down.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Herr DoublePointyfinger, with a stout 27 points.

The top 3 drivers so far are Vettel, Button and Alonso. Buemi and Alguersuari are now 7th and 8th, following another good weekend.

The top 3 teams are Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari. Although Williams actually got some FF1 points this weekend, so did their closest rivals, Hispania and Lotus, so they stay at the bottom of the points list.

Henry increased his lead a fair bit this weekend, and he's now 71 points ahead of the pack. He's also now put together the longest run out front, and equalled the most weeks out front too. This season's leaders: Heather (1 race), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1), Ian again (1), Henry (5).

Front to back gap continues to widen too - its now 426 points. Eep.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where you must obey the RoboHamilton. OBEY!

Next race: It's the shiny new Indian GP on the 30th of October. Sensible start time too! 0930. Just time to get a cuppa and the bacon sarnies sorted, then...

And now, a hideous glimpse into the future...

Suffering from natural obsolescence

By
You know you’re getting old when it dawns on you that you’re outliving technological breakthroughs. You know the sort of thing – something revolutionary, that heralds a seismic shift it the way the modern world operates. Clever, time-saving, breathtaking and life-changing (and featuring a circuit board). It’s the future, baby! Until it isn’t any more. I got to pondering this when we laughed heartily in the office about someone asking if our camcorder used “tape”. Tape? Get with the times, Daddy-o! If it ain’t digital then for-get-it! I then attempted to explain to an impossibly young colleague that video tape in a camcorder was indeed once a “thing”, requiring the carrying of something the size of a briefcase around on your shoulder, containing batteries normally reserved for a bus, and a start-up time from pressing ‘Record’ so lengthy, couples were already getting divorced by the time it was ready to record them saying “I do”. After explaining what tape was, I realised I’d ...

"It's all gone quiet..." said Roobarb

By
If, like me, you grew up (and I’m aware of the irony in that) in the ‘70s, February was a tough month, with the sad news that Richard Briers and Bob Godfrey had died. Briers had a distinguished acting career and is, quite rightly, fondly remembered most for his character in ‘The Good Life’. Amongst his many roles, both serious and comedic, he also lent his voice to a startling bit of animation that burst it’s wobbly way on to our wooden-box-surrounded screens in 1974. The 1970s seemed to be largely hued in varying shades of beige, with hints of mustard yellow and burnt orange, and colour TV was a relatively new experience still, so the animated adventures of a daft dog and caustic cat who were the shades of dayglo green and pink normally reserved for highlighter pens, must have been a bit of a shock to the eyes at the time. It caused mine to open very wide indeed. Roobarb was written by Grange Calveley, and brought vividly into life by Godfrey, whose strange, shaky-looking sty...

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 ...
