Formula One Racing

These last few months I’ve really got into Formula One racing. I’ve always been a casual fan of motorsports, but once I dove in to F1 I’ve been hooked. It’s perfect for an early morning riser here in the states as most of the races start at 6 AM every Sunday morning. It’s not the most popular sport over here, but I think it’s gaining popularity with more and more races taking place in the Americas. I’m excited for the new Las Vegas Grand Prix in November. Here’s a short preview on the race, and the details of the preparation. Can’t wait! 😀

The Winter Olympics start Feb 4, are you planning to watch? What are the events that you watch? While I won't set time aside to watch any event, if I happen to catch the Luge to Bobsledding I will watch those, always figured I would like to try Luge but I figure those days are past me. Certainly though, Curling is at the top of mine and @Dodgelist of events to see.

Hello All.... Though I'd share my hobby with you all, as some of you may find it interesting. A few months ago I found my old collection of Matchbox cars from when I was a lad, around 25 years ago. Most of which were play worn and missing any bits of paint. After watching a few guys on youtube, I set about restoring some. After the varying success of my efforts, I bvranched out into buying knackered cars and restoring them as a little weekend hobby. Then after a bit of shopping with my son, I purchased a few Hot wheels cars, and now my son and I collect Hot Wheels together. We don;t want full sets, but we just buy what we like. Which makes today a special d…

Fantasy Olympic Games The Olympics starts on 23rd July and I'm organising a simple fantasy game. To participate you have to pick your own multi-national team made from a selection of the participating nations. You then score points simply based on what medals your nations win, 4 for gold, 2 for silver and 1 for bronze. The final result comes from the final medals table, but I will do regular updates of the scores as the games progress. Pick exactly 5 nations Each nation has been assigned a fantasy value and your team total value can not exceed 100 M$ see next post The values have been worked out in direct prop…

Somewhere to talk about the beautiful game. Its pretty well known that I’m a Leeds fan, this years Championship title is likely to go to either Norwich, Leeds or @Mythaga’s Sheffield Utd so it’s getting pretty tense as the season heads into the final weeks. Leeds are feeling confident after a glorious 4-0 win over 4th place West Brom. Sheffield Utd’s response was a predictably dull 0-0 derby game with the other team from Sheffield. Leeds are playing Sheffield Utd soon, this will be crucial in deciding who gets the second automatic promotion spot. Apparently theres other leagues in English and world football so feel free to talk about them too.

The Last Dance is a 2020 American sports documentary miniseries focusing on the 1997–98 Chicago Bulls. The series features film footage from a crew that had an unprecedented and all-access pass to the Bulls during the National Basketball Association season. A season in which the Bulls were attempting a second Three-peat....or Three Consecutive Championships. They had already had a three-peat from 91-93 and were going for a second one. Why should you watch it? Because as a basketball or NBA fan regardless of who your fave player was or currently is...there is no denying that one of the greatest players to ever play the game is named Michael Jordan. In 1987 a family m…

The Story What I'm Writing

I've always loved writing, and have, in the past, made several attempts to write a book. These all failed. The ideas were good, but I just never kept at it. Recently, however, I had an idea for a story and feel like this is the one. I figure I'll post what I have here now, and the promise of posting further updates will keep me motivated to keep going. Hopefully. So here is my new, ongoing effort. For now it's called The Pig, but that may change. The Pig “It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied.” John Stuart Mill – Utilitarianism (1863) 1 - The Farm I can remember The Farm now. The lowing of th…

With the world of sport now on hold for many of us there are a few eSports events taking the place of the real thing. Formula 1 have their eSports in full swing now: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/tags.esports.N0CpHwC3MAUK4iwAEYi6e.html The Grand National in the UK was replaced by a virtual event this year: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dBwte-Isi3c I know some will despise the idea of ‘replacing’ real life events, but I thought it might be an idea to have a place to share upcoming eSports or Virtual events that may be replacing what is lost due to lockdowns.

USWNT Equal Pay ... Yay or Nay ? 1 2

The four time World Cup Champion, US Women's National Soccer team filed an equal pay in a gender discrimination lawsuit and this week US Soccer lawyers explained why US Soccer feels the US Women's team deserves less wages and should not have equal pay...This is what US Soccer lawyers said: “MNT players routinely play matches (important World Cup qualifiers, in particular) throughout Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. The WNT does not,” the USSF said. “Opposing fan hostility encountered in these MNT road environments, especially in Mexico and Central America, is unmatched by anything the WNT must face while trying to qualify for an important tournament.

Do we have any basketball fans on the site? I know @zmurko and @Fido_le_muet are into the sport, but surely some of the NA folks must be as well. It has never really my sport. Well, haven't really payed it any attention. But a while ago I came across "Inside the NBA" on Youtube. First, it was just for the entertainment since many of the clips have nothing to do with basketball, just the crew goofing around. Charles Barkley is mighty entertaining to watch. Then I began watching full episodes of the show plus "Open Court" with all the legends and I must say it has gotten my attention now. Recently, I have watched the final playoff matches of last NBA season and I'm ev…

All Elite Wrestling

I don't know if any of you guys are wrestling fans, so you probably haven't heard about the new company, AEW. It was founded recently by wrestlers Cody Rhodes, Matt and Nick Jackson, and Kenny Omega, and they just held their first big show, Double or Nothing, last night. It was friggin' good. If all you know about wrestling is WWE, you should check this out. It's hard to describe why it's better, it just is, especially since the writing and continuity for WWE has been shite for a few years now. It's going to have weekly shows starting soon, on TNT in the US, and ITV in the UK. This is awesome news for me since there hasn't been a proper wrestling show on terrest…

250Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Spiderhead (2022) dir Joseph Kosinksi A fairly lame, not-very thrilling, sci-fi thriller set in the present day / near future, in a special prison, called Spiderhead. All the inmates have volunteered to be transferred here from various other prisons, on the condition that they agree to be test subjects for drugs developed by scientist / warder Steve Abnesti (Chris Hemsworth). The main character is Jeff (Miles Teller), jailed for a drunk driving offence that killed his passenger. The prison is very low security with only a a few guards. Although they are in an isolated island location (I think a small Hawaiian Island) and unable to leave, within the prison they have a lot of freedom. There's no actual cells but rooms more like a basic hotel and they are free to go wherever they like within the prison, cook their own food, play video games etc. Also male and females inmates are free to mingle. Each day a couple of them take part in various tests. These are sort of psychological as the drugs, administered from an implant in their backs controlled by an app on Steve's phone, alter their moods, emotions and behaviour. One, for example, is meant to make people fall in love, another makes them find everything funny. Clearly, being a so called thriller, there is more to the drugs than the prisoners have been told, and something obviously goes wrong. I found the script to be quite poor. The thing that goes wrong was very predictable. Although you have allow for artistic license and recognise this is a work of fiction not real life, it's quite ridiculous to believe that Steve and his assistant did not foresee this might happen and take measures to prevent it. Jeff figures out some of what is really going on and it ends with him and fellow inmate Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett) making an escape bid. Here they are pursued by guards and other inmates in quite a comical fashion, I assume unintentionally. The acting is OK but it didn't call for anything special. It does have a good set (I'm guessing a real-life building rather than purpose built) which with the island landscape does allow for some decent cinematography. The soundtrack is nice too, a few songs that can be heard in various versions of GTA! But overall this is one I would say not to bother with, unless you really cannot find anything else on Netflix. 4 / 10 Infinity Pool (2023) dir Brandon Cronenburg A psychological / sci-fi horror that I nearly didn't watch giving it's warning for extreme, graphic violence and gore. But I'm glad I did because although there are a couple of scenes that certainly warrant such a warning, most of the film is not like that. It stars Alexander Skarsgard and Mia Goth as somewhat spoilt, wealthy westerners on holiday in a fictitious tropical, island nation (I'm guessing meant to be somewhere like the Seychelles, Bali, etc.) with their respective partners. Although their resort seems great, it's fenced off from the rest of the island and outside the locals, obviously not at all wealthy, have some strange customs. James (Skarsgard) is a struggling author there with his very rich wife. Actress Gabi (Goth) and her architect husband have been here before and are part of a community of other such couples who spend some time each year on this island. Gabi gets to know to James telling him she is a fan of his one-and-only published novel. The two couples go on an unauthorised day-trip out of their resort and on their way back, at night, there's a car accident which they choose not to report, but that clearly leaves a local man injured or worse. Next day the police turn up and arrest James. I can't say too much more on what happens next without spoiling what is a very good, original plot. Lets just say their justice system has some strange and eerie aspects. But the authorities want the tourist dollars to keep flowing, so they allow wealthy visitors to buy their way out of a punishment, taking advantage of a macabre local tradition. This aspect is what makes the film a bit sci-fi / fantasy, and ultimately leads to the horror. James does take advantage of this but then find himself kind of trapped on the island whilst his wife leaves. Like I say, I found this a very interesting and original story. The two main actors are good; as I would expect from Mia Goth. It builds up the tension and horror gradually and has some good special effects. There's a very scary detective Thresh, a very sinister figure who comes across as being very friendly and sympathetic before he then turns on you. Don't be put off by the warnings for the graphic violence and s*x if that's not your sort of thing. There are just a couple of each. But be aware they will happen and be ready to look away / fast forward. This is the only film I have seen by Brandon Cronenburg, who also wrote the script, but based on this I would say he is clearly following in his father (David's) footsteps as talented sci-fi horror film maker. 8 / 10- 1
