Fantasy Formula 1: Japan - the other stuff

Welcome, my friends, to the show that NEVER ends!

Except when you reach the bottom of the page. Then it stops big time. Life's a bitch, no?

Whilst Lewis is busy taking the 'social' out of 'social media' and the 'mate' out of 'team-mate' on twitter, let us consider instead the random sweepings from Fantasy Formula 1 after the Japanese GP...

Naughty corner: He bags a drive with a top team, shows up the guy he’s going to be replacing, then promptly says hello to some gravel in a fumbled attempt to overtake. Hello, Sergio.Naughty corner: He bags a drive with a top team, shows up the guy he’s going to be replacing, then promptly says hello to some gravel in a fumbled attempt to overtake. Hello, Sergio.

Hero: Having bagged a drive with a top team, he proceeds to show up the guy he’s going to be replacing in a stunningly well timed lunge down the inside. Hello, Sergio. Please see the paragraph above...

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was (sharp intake of breath)... Massa! With 34 points! No-one picked him this year! *facepalm*

Mark E in shock ‘no longer at the front’ shock! Shocking! Yes, FF1 veteran Elmon (in his 13th season) has bagged the top spot, with 5 races remaining. Can Mark claw it back? Or will the big spenders finally come good at the end? Ooo – it’s just like the real thing. But without the glamour, fame and money.

393 points now exists between first and last. Let’s be realistic here – it’s not looking good for the win, is it?

Whilst Alonso somehow clings on to the top score in FF1, his team mate, Massa, gatecrashes the top 10 at number 9. Karthinkeyan is still really quite last. Ferrari are still the highest scoring team, but McLaren have now leapt up to 2nd. HRT are resolutely last.

And still Olie B moves up the order! For the 10th race in a row he’s ascended, and has now made the top 10, 125 points off the lead. Too late..?

In FF1 world, all the teams scored again this race.

Next race: It’s Korean GP time! This very weekend, on the 14th of October, at stupidly-early-o’clock! See you on the sofa – it’s your turn to make the coffee, and for God’s sake, put some pants on this time if you’re coming in your dressing gown.

(Alanis is still grumbling away...)

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")
