Fantasy Formula 1: Monaco - the other stuff

Good things come to those who wait.

Unfortunately, I misread that, and sent the good things to those who check the mass of hot leaf-based beverages.

Good things come to those who weigh tea. Sorry. Anyway, here's that other stuff from the Monaco GP weekend.

Naughty corner: It’s a welcome return of my favourite numpty, Skeletor Maldonado. Fresh from having everyone start believing he was actually a good driver after all, he petulantly banged wheels with Perez, before removing himself from the race on the first lap. Welcome back, dimwit!

Hero: I’m saying Perez. Early shunt in quail saw him start at the back, but even after getting a drive-through penalty he managed to make it up to 11th. Lest we forget, that’s pretty darn impressive at Monaco.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was the aforementioned Sergio, along with Webber, both scoring 26 FF1 points.

Mark E extends his lead at the front of FF1, making it 6 races at the top. Blimey.

Front to back gap stays at 440 points, but Andy might want to consider going for it now. A bit. Well, a lot. Loads in fact.

In case you’re wondering who you should have picked this year, Alonso has now taken the FF1 championship lead, with previous leader Raikkonen falling to 4th. Good job you didn’t pick de la Rosa, he’s way last. You did? Ah...

On the team front, Lotus are joined by McLaren as best team, with HRT joined by Caterham as joint worsterest. It is a word. Look it up in the Wordernary.

Next race: It’s Canada time! Next weekend, 10th June. For us BBC viewers, it’s back to highlights again though. Guess what time? Go on. Nope. Still nope. Did someone say 10.30pm? Yup.

(Still listening to Human League stuff. It's All I Ever Wanted.)

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...

When in Rome...

By
...have a Grand Prix. Seems that the idea of a street race around Rome is on the cards. That'd be pretty exciting, wouldn't it? Any other suggestions? Basingstoke? Didcot? Reading? "And here's Alonso on Broad Street, just past Heelas and getting dangerously close to the Marks & Sparks cardigan display".... No? OK then. (More MP3 toons - Enigma "La Puerta Del Cieulu")
