Fantasy Formula 1 - India: The other stuff

By
Well, now. Here we all are again. Some of us have, no doubt, had a fascinating day. Others have probably been discussing the correct pluralisation of the word Fez with their niece via twitter. *ahem*

Anyway, there's the small matter of getting the brightly coloured blobs of information that look like dog food but taste like fire out of the tablecloth of facts that was the Indian GP, Fantasy Formula 1-wise. Clear? No... me neither. It seemed like a good metaphor with a cunning Indian twist at one point, but it all went horribly, horribly wrong somewhere....

So, whilst I hand myself over to the Crimes Against The English Language Police, here's the stats:



Naughty corner? Hmmm.... it'd be dull to go for Hamilton yet again, and the Massa incident looked more like a plain-old racing one, rather than the boy from Brazil's fault... so... no-one. Blimey.

Hero: He only came 10th, but Perez avoided the first lap carnage and managed to drag his Sauber up to 10th. Way to go, Checo!

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was *stifles massive yawn* The Sebulator, with 26 points.

The top 3 drivers so far are Vettel, Button and Alonso. 24 drivers started the season - Maldonado has competed in all of them. He's 25th. Way to go, Pastor!

The top 3 teams so far are Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari. Sergio's great score of 21 sees Sauber move up to equal 6th.

Whilst Henry's lead dropped slightly this race, he's still a comfortable 69 points ahead and becomes the most leaderyest of the leaders so far (I may have made one of those words up, by the way). Your leaders to date (and the amount of races out front) have been: Heather (1), Neil (3), Me (4), Ian (1), Me again (1), Ian again (1), Henry 6.

Front to back gap? A cavernous 479 points. Ouch.

Fantasy Formula 1: Where Red Bull give over and let someone else have a go. Please.

Next race: Feelin' hot, hot, hot! It's Abu Dhabi on the 13th of November.

Going Underground

By
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...

Is it cold? Snow way...

By
Lunch out? Not unless you want snow balls... I’ve got a confession to make.  Lean in a bit, because I’m going to whisper it. Bit more. Did you have curry for tea? OK, good. I’m a weather nerd. There, I said it. When I was growing up, I didn’t want to be an astronaut or a fireman – I wanted to present the weather on the TV. I was lining myself up for a career at the Met Office when, at about 18 years of age, I discovered I was allergic to studying. Anyway, despite a jam-packed and varied career over the subsequent years, I still have a fascination for the world of meteorology. I even have one of those clocks that projects the time and the external temperature onto the ceiling at night, so I can see how cold it is outside whilst lying awake worrying that I might have wasted my life and been more successful with girls if I’d been more into cars than clouds. So far this year, I’ve gazed at a chilly reading of -5C a couple of times, and been grateful for previous sensible ch...

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...
