Fantasy F1

Maybe I shouldn't have told my driver who was standing in for an injured one to charge....
". . . A Ligier is off! . . . A Ligier has smacked the Armco and is pin-wheeling down the straight, shedding pieces of itself as it goes! . . . There goes the other Ligier, tip-toeing through the wreckage . . . Let's see, the car moving was Brundle, so that must be Aguri Suzuki who took the tumble . . . There's some flames at the back of the shattered car . . . The Marshalls are there and are dragging Suzuki from the car . . . The race has been Yellow Flagged, and the Safety Car has been deployed . . . More flames from the Ligier . . . Must be an oil fire . . . The Marshalls are tending to Suzuki, and no one is tending to the car! . . . The field is collecting behind the Safety Car . . . Big, black billows of smoke now . . . Suzuki is on his feet and is being directed to an ambulance . . . You can see the flames licking over the cockpit, now . . . Finally, someone arrives with a fire extinguisher, but it's pitifully small against how large this fire has grown . . . You wouldn't think with all that metal there would be that much on the car that would burn . . . Thank the wet conditions today for the fact that we don't have a raging grass fire by now, as well . . . Finally, a fire truck has arrived . . . The firemen have deployed a hose, and are drenching the remains of the Ligier, which continues to burn . . . Finally, the fire is out and the pits have been opened . . ."

I know why noone had him in their team now :-)

Woot me :-)

I doubt anyone else know who Ray is, but hay :-)

I also found a bug in my boss' stored procedure.

Rar.

Dear ITV-F1

Your program is meant to cover the sport, not act as a forum for advertising flyby night pop starlets, shopping tips or Button fanboy wankery.

Your on screen graphics are small, poorly coloured (black-on-orange text, with a plus and minus that look the same) and displayed in stupid places (such as two thirds down the right side, or at the top but a huge distance in from the left edge [the lap counter is the most irratating]).
Also what does the red background on the '1' in the positions list mean ? First ? I know that already, it has a '1' in it.

Geez.

At least they've paid enough attention to what other shows have been doing to get a nice fly-through 3D grid - even if not all the cars stop in the right space.

Upcoming Jarrelook Gig

Oh yes - not only are we off to see Jarrelook (the UK Jarre tribute band) in a few months, but they've just bought a brand new toy.

It's gonna be a great night :-)
