Fantasy Formula 1 - Belgium results

F1 was certainly back with a bang, then.

It was nearly a nasty bang on the head for Alonso too, who was getting on with his race when a Lotus came flying over the top of his car. And they say its the Red Bull that has wings.

The errant Grosjean gets a pretty harsh slap on the back of the legs with a ruler, and a race weekend to think really hard about what he did, whilst everybody's favourite accident-magnet Maldonad'oh, gets not one, but two penalties. He should have got a 3rd too, for incurring too many penalties and generally being a bit of a bell-end, but that might cause the universe to implode.

Anyway, you didn't come here to hear me complain (did you...?), so here's some resulty looking things in a nice shade of green.

 Hang on a cotton-picking-goddam-minute! How come I only got 20?! Oh right - Kobayashi. And Sauber. Thanks, Romain. I'm making a wild guess that the Running Total won't see me going upwards, then.

Down 6? Ouch.

(Music tonight from that chap that shows up at everything and plays Hey Jude. Used to be in The Beatles. Not Ringo - the other one. Yeah, him. Macca is currently "Tripping The Live Fantastic - Highlights!")

Making an exhibition of yourself

By
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 ...

"It's all gone quiet..." said Roobarb

By
If, like me, you grew up (and I’m aware of the irony in that) in the ‘70s, February was a tough month, with the sad news that Richard Briers and Bob Godfrey had died. Briers had a distinguished acting career and is, quite rightly, fondly remembered most for his character in ‘The Good Life’. Amongst his many roles, both serious and comedic, he also lent his voice to a startling bit of animation that burst it’s wobbly way on to our wooden-box-surrounded screens in 1974. The 1970s seemed to be largely hued in varying shades of beige, with hints of mustard yellow and burnt orange, and colour TV was a relatively new experience still, so the animated adventures of a daft dog and caustic cat who were the shades of dayglo green and pink normally reserved for highlighter pens, must have been a bit of a shock to the eyes at the time. It caused mine to open very wide indeed. Roobarb was written by Grange Calveley, and brought vividly into life by Godfrey, whose strange, shaky-looking sty...

Suffering from natural obsolescence

By
You know you’re getting old when it dawns on you that you’re outliving technological breakthroughs. You know the sort of thing – something revolutionary, that heralds a seismic shift it the way the modern world operates. Clever, time-saving, breathtaking and life-changing (and featuring a circuit board). It’s the future, baby! Until it isn’t any more. I got to pondering this when we laughed heartily in the office about someone asking if our camcorder used “tape”. Tape? Get with the times, Daddy-o! If it ain’t digital then for-get-it! I then attempted to explain to an impossibly young colleague that video tape in a camcorder was indeed once a “thing”, requiring the carrying of something the size of a briefcase around on your shoulder, containing batteries normally reserved for a bus, and a start-up time from pressing ‘Record’ so lengthy, couples were already getting divorced by the time it was ready to record them saying “I do”. After explaining what tape was, I realised I’d ...
