  • Nice one dude. I watched the qual live, but honestly most times I watch the praccy, qual, and race highlights on the Formula 1 YouTube channel now. They’re pretty good at getting the highlights up within an hour, so it’s not a mega drama to dodge spoilers.

    They generally put highlights of the F2 and F3 up as well which is always a good waste of twenty minutes each day.

    Hopefully the rest of your week stays unremarkable!





  • Tough line to draw really.

    The legal system is built on “innocent until proven guilty”, so it’s understandable why entire careers aren’t brought to a halt because of one or more allegations of misconduct.

    Problem is, how do we let that continue while listening to complainants, making them feel heard, and safeguarding future potential victims?

    I’m not asking you in particular, you’re just the comment I’ve replied to - it’s one of those impossible situations to draw a line in the sand without fucking over one of the sides.


  • Yeah they do, and when it gets busy with folk razzing about between tables, the staff do the serving and the bots just take the dirty plates and empties back to the kitchen.

    The meal was… decent, not great, but certainly not poor - but I guess you went for the presentation, the bots, the cocktails presented in steaming bell jars, and kids meals presented on a shovel. It was comparatively inexpensive too which gives it a thumbs up.

    Good luck with the physio though. You’ll be out banging miles back into the tarmac before you know it.


  • Excellent mate. I went out as well, there’s a place in town that has those autonomous wheeled bot things that guide you to your table, and bring your food to you and stuff. My boy wanted to see them for ages so off we went.

    Only downer this week is my Pokémon Blue save died when it crashed while saving. Ten hours down the drain, that was my project for this summer.

    Did you get sorted for new running hooves after?



  • I agree - I’m not expert but I know that the mining of rare earth metals and the disposal of some EV components are problematic. It’s not a perfect solution.

    That said, better solutions such as fuel cells or hydrogen are still 10-15 years away, and “better” shouldn’t be the enemy of perfect. I’m not particularly car proud and cars tend to last me twelve-fifteen years so I went for an EV hoping that an even better tech will be available by the time I need a car next time round.








  • Nice one mate, sounds grand! My kids just cannot play together at the moment - they’re like a pair of magnets and either want what the other one is playing with, or just annoy each other to the point of tears. Telling them “just play with your own toys” lasts about twelve seconds until they can’t resist fucking with each other’s game or toys.

    Glad you’re enjoying the barbie weather!




  • Smashing effort. I’ve never been a running natural, I just do it because it’s apparently good for me and cheap as fuck (outside of a decent pair of hooves).

    I went and did the Cardiff Bay 5 Mile a few years back, and a pal of mine rolled out of his colleagues place having been out on the piss the previous night, same T-shirt but with shorts on, and just panned in the five miles before going to feel sorry for himself somewhere else. What a machine.
