Fantasy F1 - Australia: The other stuff

Want to know how the drivers scored, and the teams?

Think you can rely on me to get it right? As long as the answer to at least one of those questions was yes, everything should be just fine... fingers crossed.

Naughty corner: It can only be Skeletor Maldonado, can’t it? On for Williams’ biggest points haul for ages, and all he had to do was bring it home safely. Berk.
Hero: Button is deserving, but I’m going for Raikkonen, for a dazzling and fighting return to F1. Good to have him back – at least the BBC can use the time they would normally spend trying to prize more than a word out of him on something else...
Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Perez, with a hefty 32 point haul. Who picked him this season? Yup – no-one.
Well done to Mark E for bagging 1st place on his FF1 debut. Can he hang on to the lead next weekend...?
Front to back gap is a monstrous 482 points. Ouch.
Fantasy Formula 1: Where HRT are so far behind, they’re just lining up on the grid about..... now.
Next race: Woohooo! Not long to wait – it’s the Malaysian GP this Sunday 25th March...

Shouting in the social media mirror

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...

A fisful of change at the shops

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

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 ...
