Welcome to my day off. Thursday. Just two weekends of Hobbits left. I have to admit I am looking forward to Saturday night, should be interesting and fun, camera at the ready of course.
Despite the rumours I shall not be appearing on Question Time tonight, that is in fact BNP leader, Nick Griffin. Good on the guy, getting on television with his diatribes and ducking eggs, I just think he would be more at home on the Radio. How about as a guest presenter on Radio One Extra… or appearing live on stage with ex 1994 hit makers China Black.
I saw a photo of Mr Gately’s funeral. Obviously Ronan was carrying that coffin on his own, the other three of Boyzone just propping him up as usual. Ahem.
A HUGE well done to a Mr J. Button of Frome, Somerset for his greatly deserved win in a very exciting Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday. Second Brit F1 champion in two years, a feat last performed in 1965 when Jim Clark took over from John Surtees (actually in the years 1962 to 1965 it was British guys all the way, Graham Hill joining in the fun as well). Compared to last year and the final 35 seconds of the season deciding it all it seemed a little staid and boring, even though it certainly wasn’t. Thanks to a great tussle with Rubino and The Ham it was settled earlier in the race as the Brazilian gained a puncture from an end plate and went from second to eighth in a pit stop.
Can you imagine how annoyed the Brazilians are with Hamilton now.??? He took the championship off a Brazilian in the last half minute of 2008 and then assists another Englander to the championship by accidentally removing ANOTHER Brazilian from a good position in a Brazilian race. Cripes, I wouldn’t have liked to have been driving him to Sao Paulo airport without a bullet proof car. Not Lewis’s fault at all though, great racing all round and a great drive from him to grab third from EIGHTEENTH on that wet qualifying grid.
I am bitterly swallowing the pill from my blog at the start of the year saying just how bad Button was. Bugger, but oh well, this time I am happy to have been so very, very wrong.
On the subject of cars, a new survey shows that kids in deprived areas get run over by vehicles more. I could have told you that without spending a single quid on research. The ones who generally get run over more are the ones with bad parents who are stupid and have passed on those stupid genes to their offspring or who are swaggering chavs who have produced children who are so arrogant that they believe laws don’t apply to them. Unfortunately it is generally the laws of physics which do apply as they are mown down by a passing Ford Fiesta with big plastic bumpers. It’s a bit like that woman and her very lucky baby on that Australian railway station. Too dopey to even concentrate and put the brake on her buggy and he rolled onto the tracks. Well there is natural selection again, doing it’s work.
In the same vein it appears we could save 80 lives a year by not putting the clocks back (oh yes, extra hour of clubbing on Saturday).! I don’t want to save 80 lives a year if they all tend to be cyclists too dumb to apply two small lights to their bikes and obey traffic lights. Fuck ‘em. All of ‘em.
And that is it for today, I am off to reiterate to Weston that shouting PILE ON near a mental home is never a good thing. See you all Saturday one hopes.!
