Fantasy Formula 1 - Japan results

That was a good podium.

Why? Seb winning puts him within a handful of points of Alonso, Massa coming second shows he can still drive well, and boosts his chances of staying at Ferrari and Kobayashi in 3rd... well, it's Kamui, isn't it? I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about when interviewed but, although he's calmed down a bit, some of his overtakes over the past couple of seasons have had me wide-eyed on the sofa, gripping a cushion so hard you can hear the feathers complaining.

Happy days then. This was the race where Herr Pointyfinger took the title last year. This time it would appear to be going all the way, with five races left. If my smile gets any wider, the top half of my head will fall off.

So, you'll be wanting the Fantasy Formula 1 results, I suppose. Brace yourselves...

I KNOW. How did I only score 43? I've got Kobayashi AND Sauber! Which idiot made these rules up? Oh. Right.

Congratulations to Elmon for bagging the lead! Can he hang on to it, though...?

(Tuneage tonight from Alanis Morissette's "So-Called Chaos" album from 2004. Surprisingly upbeat. Don't you hate it when that happens?)

Faking it for real

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

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...

...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")
