hope your inner kid had a good jump or roll around on the leaves first

how can they be sop bad at managing bad weather in england? i think the wet tyres must all have dry rot from sitting on the shelf. no one will ever risk putting them on in case it then gets red flagged. oscar had 2 huge leads taken away by safety cars, then a brain fade. F2 was a great race...

does norris really have the full british support that lewis had at his peak? i get the impression hes considered a bit of a brat and probably no more popular with the local fans than oscar.

went out to a grungy little thai place ive been looking forward to for ages. didnt notice until after ordering that it was now vegan. my day was ruined.

kid was due in for an afternoon lecture today, wonder of modern education when you can sit at home and watch a live stream or catch up on youtube later. we thought it was a step forward when you could borrow an audio recording from the library the next day. beats the hell out of gambling on the...

knowing how unstable the red bull is we can really on measure him against hadjar, so a good drive. hopefully gets some confidence back now. spectacular crash in the F2 with one car barrel rolling over another before flipping again and landing upside down. and how do you not know the right...

took the kid to the footie last night. 60c a packet for sauce. and they charged for 3 of them as thats what you need to coat one chip. forget the cost of housing, this is where the cost of living kicks in

not really f1 related but just saw footage of 2cv racing at silverstone. its a lot more exciting than many street circuits

I find norris's self flagellation extraordinary. surely they have sports psychologists on staff. he can be disappointed with where he sits but is whole mindset is not where it needs to be at this level

follow on from my large plumbing bill- they did a good job and regraded the surface after digging up the pipes but the grass was toast and they laid out topsoil. Is it even worth laying turf heading into winter? other than a decent hosing every couple of days, whats to stop the topsoil drying...

Something around the bottom of the neck squeezing nerves and causing s lot of pain. Spinal fusion was the surgery they said is sometimes an option but wouldn't work here so this is a much better outlook.

wife was diagnosed with stenosis bad enough physio told her she couldn't ride or swim anymore and it was only going to get worse, and no chance of surgery. a pretty crappy outlook, she was planning to sell her bikes. that guy retired and new guy said that was rubbish has come up with a treatment...

this one is just where our pipe joins the mains - 2 feet further and would have been water board's problem.

shitty plumbing. 8k bill to dig down and fix a pipe, but has to be done.
