Alonso was driving a combined harvester, and George struggled to get past the Haas cars. He finished +84 seconds in a Mercedes. His biggest scalp was passing Hadjar's RB which appeared to be stuck in reverse. Hardly Max at Sao Paulo.

Wow, listen to Captain Strategy here. Let's be less adventurous here, shall we? Let's just start by getting Ferrari a proper tactician and replacing the monkey throwing its shit at a whiteboard, yes?

Fun fact: the original Jaffa cakes (from McVitie) were actually apricot flavoured with added tangerine oil.

By doing what? Overtaking the likes of Lance and the Cadillacs?

I find this phrase is being used more and more, as though we are all in a roiling maelstrom of mental turmoil, complete with wailing, gnashing teeth and kneading of the temples without the benefit of some piece of shit someone is trying to sell you. This one is for a fucking doorbell.

I wish I was there when the stage crew packed Orville with flares and maroons and blew him to flaming pieces over the heads of the kids at the start of the show. They really didn't like Keith Harris one bit. Nor kids, I assume.

Musical confession: I have owned this album for most of my life and love lots of it, but I have yet to sit right through Interstellar Overdrive, even once. It bores me to death by about the 4 minute mark: a real 'you had to be there' moment, if ever there was one.

(v) 2. To sing like *Yoko Ono*.

I wasn't even that bothered by the first one. The best thing there was the OST.

'Alien' fell apart pretty sharply, from a nearly perfect opening, to a shooty-bangy-gun-gun second film which I was disappointed by, but then descended into utter mediocrity. Concur about BWP. The interesting thing about it was the marketing. I found the film quite dull, but 2 was sheer excrement.

I know Mike Love is a divisive figure who has done some deeply questionable things in the tortured history of The Beach Boys...but **jesus fucking wept** this is utterly horrific, if it's what it purports to show. This just looks like abuse, by this stage. Who pays ticket prices for this?

So. Much. Brown.

I'm damned sure his engineers and mechanics don't

Not if it rains at all, no

Lance Stroll has zero spatial awareness. None. None at all. #F1

A man who had the Peter O'Sullivan ability to describe action by the pitch of his voice. (See also: Len Martin)

Can't disagree with that. The 30th anniversary CD is recommended

@mellotronworker.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 8:52 AM

Yes, but...ELP.

Brilliant. I just bought this on the strength of this story.
