After three races the Mercedes duo headed the standings, however Bottas enjoyed a 14-point lead over Hamilton, having won the last two races, whilst Verstappen headed Red Bull’s charge and was level on points with Hamilton. I was a lowly 12th and wanted to improve. Spain was up next, and this fast, twisty-turny track is […]
‘What do you like most about your writing?‘ This is a tricky question. I’m not given to self-praise and, whilst I consider a competent writer/blogger, I’d be the first to admit my writing can be a bit… dry. Dry like this meerkat. Not completely devoid of personality, but a bit vacant between the ears. On […]
The Algarve International Circuit is new to Formula 1, having first hosted an F1 race in 2020. Constructed in 2008, the venue has hosted a number of events across a range of motorsport, and after both the real races here and my experience on the game, I’d be happy to see it stick around, though […]
Some of you may be thinking ‘that’s the San Marino GP track’. You’d also be correct – but in 2020 and 2021 Formula 1 officially referred to the race at the Imola circuit as the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. This may seem pointless, but from an official, record-keeping point of view, the Emilia Romagna Grand […]
The prompt today is ‘what makes you laugh?‘ Lots of things make me laugh. The clever wit of comedians on TV shows like Mock the Week makes me laugh. The cutting and edgy humour of Jimmy Carr makes me laugh. The outrageous silliness of kids shows like The Amazing World of Gumball makes me laugh. […]
Today’s prompt is ‘who is someone that inspires you and why?‘ Can that person be fictional? Can I choose more than one person? The Doctor from Doctor Who is a tortured soul who is committed to helping people. They don’t carry weapons – they have a sonic screwdriver, a tool to fix things. They will […]
Today’s prompt is ‘what is something you wish you knew how to do?‘ I can offer a few answers to this. I mentioned in a prior Bloganuary post that I can’t drive. I’ve generally be ok with this (I don’t fork out for car insurance, road tax, MOTs etc), but sometimes I can’t help but […]
We’re up to date! Today’s prompt is ‘what was your favourite toy as a child?‘ I guess this depends on how you define ‘toy’. Is a games console a toy? If so, then my Super Nintendo would take the win. There were so many great games on that machine, and a number of those games […]
The third time around, we are to ‘write about the last time you left your comfort zone‘. Back in the late autumn of 2017 I had a steady job selling bathrooms that I enjoyed, but it cost me a fair bit of money each month in train fare and I ideally needed something closer to […]
The second prompt in the Bloganuary series is ‘what is a road trip you would love to take‘, and I may struggle here, for I don’t cope well with long car journeys! If the prompt had been ‘trip’ rather than ‘road trip’, I’d have many answers, all of which would compete for my attention, for […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
