Uh-oh. Man Flu.

Today, I had my first day off work for 2 years, having succumbed to that most evil and debilitating of ailments - Man Flu.

I'd forgotten quite how dull it is spending the day doing sod all and feeling sorry for yourself. Still, I had a tin of soup for tea and some cold mash I found in the fridge, so... Winning!

In case you're wondering where the Better Half is, she felt so sorry for me she buggered off out to her work Christmas do. Can't say I blame her - the pathetic coughing and sudden temperature changes annoys the hell out of me to.

Having woken up at 2am feeling like I'd been gargling razorblades, it was no surprise I slept in a touch. Mind you, you know you're getting old when that means 9am, even when you're ill. I missed the opportunity to go for a beer with the boss on our last day in the office, and also missed out on bidding farewell to a colleague who was leaving today. I did send him an abusive message on twitter though, so that should be just fine.

And here I am. There's a week to go until Christmas, and the Mrs is working most of it. Expect random blogs of varying levels of quality. You've been warned.

Blimey - it's got warm in here again...

Malaysian Grand Prix - Vettel hot, but not bothered

By
Malaysia. It's always hot, and it always rains. Except the 2nd part is no longer true (unless you count the drizzly bit around lap 14). Saturday's qualifying session had highlighted the fact that Red Bull and McLaren seemed well matched on pace, but also that Ferrari were struggling. Whilst Vettel bagged another pole, followed by Hamilton, Webber and Button, Alonso was only 5th, and Massa 7th, with Nick Heidfeld an excellent 6th on the grid between the two red cars. At this point, I would like to break momentarily for a small rant: How many times do I have to say Heidfeld is good? Why wasn't he given a top drive years ago? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! ARE YOU BLIND!!!?? Ahem. The Hispanias somehow managed to a) turn up b) remember to bring cars c) get both of them on the track d) actually get both of them within 107%. Pretty remarkable really. Oh, and it didn't rain. Race day looked a more likely candidate for a drop of the wet stuff. The start was exciting, with

Senna bags Willy drive?

By
The great thing about F1 rumours is that they change every 5 minutes. Just last week it was looking like Barrichello might be back in at Williams, as new engines, tech staff and a general reshuffle would mean they needed someone who actually knew what they were doing in an F1 car. Which rules out Maldonado, obviously. Now it looks like Senna might be about to get a seat with the team where his Uncle lost his life. I'm sure Bruno's mum must be delighted. I don't hold with all this superstitious mumbo-jumbo though, and with the extraordinary level of safety in modern F1 cars, Bruno should be pretty safe. There is one significant problem with Williams signing him though - and this is going to be a bit unpopular I suspect - Bruno isn't very good. Yes, he put in a couple of reasonable performances with Renault, but Nick Heidfeld (ah... Nick and his lovely beard...) would have been able to do likewise, has he not been dropped. And then they dropped Senna too. Thi
