Fantasy Formula 1 - Bahrain: The other stuff

What could possibly make Tuesday better than it already is?

That's right, Earth People, a selection of random musings and meaningless statistics relating to Fantasy Formula 1 and the Bahrain GP! If only you could figure out a way of achieving this most excellent outcome...

While you think about it (and, let's face it, that's going to take a while, isn't it?), you can read this to while away the time...

Naughty corner: On-track, Rosberg. His moves didn’t just bend the rules, they snapped them in half and then stomped on the pieces. Off-track, Bernie and the FIA. Letting F1 get itself tangled up in the problems in Bahrain was not their smartest move ever.

Hero: Has to go to the Kimster – 11th to 2nd, and he still didn’t look happy. Superstar.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was the cheerless Finn, with a whopping 36 points.

Well done to Elmon, who bagged the biggest FF1 points haul to date with a gigantic 124. At the back, my score of 6, and Aaron’s of 8, were the two worst of the season so far.

Mark E continues his unbroken run at the front, and extends his lead this time too. It’s not even down to the money he keeps posting me either! (Although please don’t stop.)

Front to back gap – a gently expanding 459 points. Cripes.

Whilst Vettel leads the actual championship, he’s only 3rd in Fantasy F1, where Kimi is the leader of the pack. De la Rosa is now the worst person you could have picked. Lotus head the FF1 teams championship, whilst HRT are firmly at the back. That bit’s like the real championship, at least.

Fantasy Formula 1: If Rosberg tried to push someone off the M25, they’d probably wind up in Wales.

Next race: Back to Europe, but a three week wait until the 13th of May for the Spanish GP...

(Still listening to Peter Gabriel - currently his barely noticed, but rather splendid, 2002 outing, "Up".)

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...

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...
