I've been away from this blog for so long I've actually written most of a "so let's get back to talking F1" post and it's now sort of out of date and remains unfinished. I promise I'll rewrite it later because it actually has potential as a topic for me to preach on. But first, more recent news:

The Formula One world is on the verge of annoucing new ( Read more... )

The last few weeks have been massively hectic, being out of town on training is fun.

And somehow in the past 72 hours I have managed to fall in love and then have my heart broken by my perfect woman. Well, apart from the fact that she's French.

I might tell the story when my head stops spinning.

I promise I'll get back to the F1 soon, I really will. But in the meantime, I thought I'd write about something completely different.

( Click here, I'm an attention whore! )

Watching the British Sky News (which I get on my shiny TV box) you'd think there wasn't a grand prix on at all.

Come on, at least at Formula One we've got good odds to beat the Germans (what with Schuey starting 15th).

Not to be confused with "capitalism".

What I have to say is short and sweet, ultimately it boils down to this: just because a company decides how to capitalise its brand on its logos and its own publicity materials, does not mean that the normal rules of grammar (i.e. capitalisation at the start of a proper noun and at the start of a sentence) no ( Read more... )

 When I came back with me from the UK, I brought with me Dragonage (pronounced "Dragon-ij" a bit like package). I had heard so many wonderful things about Dragonage, all sorts of friends of mine seemed to have blown huge chunks of time saving the world or some such. So I was like "Okay, fine, it's cheap, I'll get it and see what all the fuss is ( Read more... )

 So, Monaco. You'll forgive me if I'm a little pre-occupied and rush this, I've got a tax form to fill in and post by Thursday morning, a flight to catch Thursday lunchtime and a driving theory test on Friday morning. But if I leave it any later I'll need to write about Turkey too, so I'll have to get sorted.

Monaco. I've often voiced my discontent ( Read more... )

Something about Monaco. Words go in this bit. Thoughts written down, rambling style, occasional witticism.

To those of you not following my adventures on Facebook throughout the weekend, I was in Monaco for the grand prix. But got back really late last night and now need to go to work. I'll rewrite this later into something more suitable.

I'll be honest, I didn't actually watch all of the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday. I was on my sofa all the way through (barring obligatory tea making duties) but honestly managed to fall asleep for a couple of laps in the middle. After the sport managing to shrug off the early "Bore-mula 1" accusations after "Bore-rain", it'd be easy to view ( Read more... )

Ferrari have publicly denounced claims that there is a growing rift between Alonso and Massa and insist that both drivers still respect the very simple rule that: "the team's well-being is of more importance than the individual's well-being ( Read more... )
