OV9

Always hits a little harder when one of the good ones passes - RIP

Gladiator 2 - if I take it in isolation it’s ok, a 6/10 but as a sequel it’s shit in every way. It’s no where near as good as the original. Much of the CGI was really rather poor (looked like a PS4 cutscene for many of the big battles) and the soundtrack meh.


I watched half of this on the ...

Only if it turns out that Iran has always had the bomb in secret and decides to detonate it on American soil!

For a decade or more, its always been said that they are months/weeks away from being able to build a viable device...

Remember to ask, "where should I be looking instead of this ...

Ooft - sounds like you are still in the thick of it :? You seem to be finding strength though, and great to hear about your family / friends supporting. 8-) Fingers crossed they find a better combo of meds. :geek: (edit - the medical professionals - not your family & friends :roll: )


I do have ...

Such a tough time - keeping my fingers crossed you reach a stable point. Its very frustrating when you can't pin down what's causing it or treat it consistently.

I presume you've been round numerous doctors and may have already done so but is it worth spreading your net wider/further afield to ...

Always warms my heart when people who you've never met randomly message you because it's been a while since you've been on an inconsequential internet forum :D

Updates are warranted by that criteria :lol:

It's now been 2 years since my life was well and truly turned upside down - I'm still having ...

Obviously due to my recent health complications it's a sensible move to have an appropriate smartwatch for me - except its pretty dum at being a smartwatch and very good at being a health tracking watch

The genius Bobby Fingers.

I posted before about his dioramas of Mel Gibson getting arrested for drink driving and Michael Jackson's hair getting set on fire during a shoot for a Pepsi commercial , so this is the obvious follow up: the Jeff Bezos Rowing Boat.

It's nearly half an hour but I ...

Confirmed to be a 10 place grid penalty for Sainz for using too many engines - that is harsh for something not his fault and was easily preventable had F1 been a little more circumspect about a brand new track that they've invested $500 million into!

Got stuck with both yesterday afternoon - Covid in the left and Flu in the right arm, just a dull ache in each that is slightly worse in the right arm from the flu vaccine but otherwise no symptoms, and I'm not expecting any based on previous years when I didn't have any either

I've not really followed F1 for a few years but the debacle of this race has still reached me.

How do you make such a mess of it?


Las Vegas powerbrokers clashing with Nevada state needs to keep traffic flowing - no running on track at all until just before FP1 and very limited running as the ...

Apparently Carlos’s car is well fucked. Battery, engine, floor, chassis. Basically the full monocoque and pu. Wonder if they will demand to be given extra budget and component allowance as this really shouldn’t have happened


Apparently Ferrari have argued "Force Majeur" so they don't get ...

Brawn GP - The Impossible Formula One Story.

Really enjoyed it, by, Luca De Montezemolo is still very bitter isn't he?


It's fabulous - Keanu does a great job of seeming innocuous and gets great responses from everyone, I especially liked the way the original Brawn team members just light up ...

As per the bloodhound chat - i'm a bit of a LSR geek

Found this channel a couple of days ago and have pretty much watched everything on there!

I do have a small collection of die cast LSR cars (and an unbuilt Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC) that nestles in amongst my Lego

In place with the rest of the collection.

I'm quite chuffed I have it and even more so with how it sits at the same angle as the shuttle (but they would because same stand design with different colour pieces and a different plaque)

Would Toto let him do such a thing?

"I bless the runs down in Africa.".

Well it is going (theoretically) back to the Hakskeen (mud) Pan which is flat because of the rains down in Africa.......

Hamilton, backed by Sir Jim.


Would Toto let him do such a thing? Don't current F1 drivers have dangerous pursuits clauses in their contracts that prevent them from such activities....

How many fast jet pilots have the necessary cash on hand to be able to do this? Maybe Sir Jim could sponsor it ...

Ex F1 drivers e.g. Eddie Irvine, Jenson Button etc surely have the cash and talent - not to mention corporate contacts to get someone big onboard to sponsor the net carbon zero aim of the project now......

Would seem a logical fit, rather than some hedge fund manager or someone who was wise enough ...
