Fantasy Formula 1: Hungary - the other stuff

Tip of the week - never visit your Doctor on the first day of your week off work - unless you have a desire to spend your 'holiday' miserable.

I'm now being referred to see a physiotherapist for my dodgy back, and am on antibiotics just in case my little tick chums gave me more than just a bite, and actually let me have Lyme Disease as a thank you for having me for lunch. Gits.

Anyway, my week still isn't as bad as the Team GP Olympic medal haul, so let's get The Other Stuff out of the way shall we? We can then all get home for some tea.

Naughty corner: You know what? I’m going for Seb, for that totally pointless rant on the radio. He always seemed such a nice boy, too...

Hero: Grosjean, 2nd on the grid, nearly punted into oblivion by the Kimster and he was still smiling after the race. Hope he wins soon.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Hamilton, with 26 points.

Who’s winning FF1? Yup. Still Mark E. Still by 63 points. Is he unstoppable? Or can he be stopped? Which would mean he wasn’t unstoppable? I’ve stopped now.

404 points between first and last place now. Easy.

In Fantasy Formula 1 terms, Alonso is still leading the pack, whilst Perez clings on to third, even though he didn’t score at this race. Guess what? Pedro de la Rosa is still last. Shocker. In the team stakes, Lotus are back in the lead again, with Ferrari behind them. Hispania are still woefully last.

Annoying thing time! There is now no race for 5 whole weeks, until the F1 circus pitches it’s big top (using carbon fibre poles, probably) in Spa on the 2nd of September. Yes I know. That’s 2 months away. It’s not my fault, dammit.

So... have a smashing summer, bailing out your lounge and praying for it to stop raining, whilst the kids complain endlessly that it’s NOT FAIR, and all that’s on TV is the Lympic thing, and flying ants invade your home, just before the wasps show up. Hurrah! Good luck...

(Cheery music to lighten the mood - Marillion's "Brave" album. Oh. Hang on... yeah.)

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...

A very modern malady

By
Hello. I’m Doctor Grenville, and I’m here today to talk to you about SSS – or “Sad Selfie Syndrome”, to give it it’s full medical name. I’m a fully qualified medical doctor thing – I’ve got a PhD from Queens University Academy College Kendal (or “QUACK” for short) to prove it. That means it’s OK for me to talk to you about a very sensitive subject today and stroke your knee. Soothing, no? In my many years of medicinalising practice, I’ve come across some terrible afflictions. I’ve seen Achey Breaky Heart, Kneesles (where you get an itchy rash on your kneecaps) and even a very rare case of the Mercedes Benz. But recently I started seeing shocking images, on social media, graphically showing the devastating results of SSS. If you haven’t heard of it before, you’ve almost certainly seen pictures of what happens to the victims, who are mostly under the age of 30. We’ve already come to understand the irrational, overwhelming need for some amongst this group to photograph everythin...

Fantasy Formula 1 - Hungary Results

By
Sometimes there's a wonderful "huh?" moment in F1. Today's was when the lights didn't go to red at the start, but flashed green and yellow. I'm sure all the drivers are briefed, and everyone knows the drill, but they all just sat there - no-one wanted to be the first to move. In the most high-tech sport in the world, it took Charlie Whiting waving at them to make them go. To be honest, it wasn't the most thrilling of races, but Happy Hamilton "The slow boys won't get out of my way! It's not fair! Boohoohooo - I'm telling Charlie!" winning does mean the front end of the points table still looks deliciously tight. What we really need now, as the excitement level ramps up, is.... to take 5 weeks off. Dammit. Still, to keep you occupied, I want you to memorise the points you all scored today. It's easy to remember mine. I came last... RACE RESULT Position Name Point...
