Fantasy Formula 1: India - the other stuff

Friday?! Are you sure? What the hell happened to the rest of the week?!

Well, it's certainly been a busy one if you're a F1 driver's wallet, especially if you belong to Ricciardo, Vergne, Hulkywulkyberg or Raikkonen. All have seen themselves stuffed with extra cash as their owners confirmed drives for 2013. Ricci and Vergne are staying put at Red Bull Jr, whilst Hulkenberg moves to Sauber. But the most exciting confirmation was that His Royal Icemanness is staying put at Lotus.

It was great to seem Kimi's facial expression exactly the same as it was before with joy. Top bloke.

Anyway, here's those random FF1 bits I know you all crave like the pointless-stats-and-facts-junkies you are. That makes me your crap dealer. Sweet.

Naughty corner: No major culprits this race, so I’ll have to plump for Perez, largely because we all know he can do much, much better than that...

Hero: Lewis and McLaren. 5 wheels in 3.3 seconds. Just wow.

Fantasy Formula 1 driver of the day was Seb, with 26 points. He’s top of everything, isn’t he? Show off.

Three races out front now for Elmon, and before that we had Mark E for 14. Ollie C has stalled in 2nd place finally, but there are just 26 points between him and Elmon now... OK to start biting the fingernails now?

Who’s hot, and who’s not?! Alonso is still the top-scoring FF1 driver, whilst the McLaren duo are only 6th and 7th, with Lewis slightly ahead. If you didn’t pick Karthikeyan, get a grown up to give you a pat on the back – he’s still last. Ferrari are still top team, whilst McLaren move up to 3rd this race. HRT are last, but only by 2 points now.

Next race: Some of it has happened already! The Abu Dhabi GP takes place this Sunday, the 4th of November. Expect fireworks. (See what I did there?)

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...

Is it cold? Snow way...

By
Lunch out? Not unless you want snow balls... I’ve got a confession to make.  Lean in a bit, because I’m going to whisper it. Bit more. Did you have curry for tea? OK, good. I’m a weather nerd. There, I said it. When I was growing up, I didn’t want to be an astronaut or a fireman – I wanted to present the weather on the TV. I was lining myself up for a career at the Met Office when, at about 18 years of age, I discovered I was allergic to studying. Anyway, despite a jam-packed and varied career over the subsequent years, I still have a fascination for the world of meteorology. I even have one of those clocks that projects the time and the external temperature onto the ceiling at night, so I can see how cold it is outside whilst lying awake worrying that I might have wasted my life and been more successful with girls if I’d been more into cars than clouds. So far this year, I’ve gazed at a chilly reading of -5C a couple of times, and been grateful for previous sensible ch...
