    Formula 1 2020

    The new contract will probably provide a clue in terms of value and length. Woolf staying and this new INEOS investment might encourage to stay on a bit longer. Also how the new car looks for 2022 could be a factor But 23 races is a huge season.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    You don't think other candidates will make mincemeat of him for handing over complete control for next 4 years to Biden and a Democratic congress?

    Obsession was with his youth when he first entered F1. But now it's almost become the norm. So for all the digs he has at Hamilton about having equal cars there's 4 or 5 young drivers now in F1 who can say the same about the advantage his Red Bull has over them. Leclerc, Sainz ,Norris,Russell...

    Probably the final confirmation he doesn't give a shot about anyone but himself. At least it'll be the final nail in his aspiration to run again in 2024

    Said it before here rates are way up and one of the 2 major differences from 1st wave has been the insistence on keeping schooling for the under 14s open. One of the reasons schooling for the over 14s being stopped is that that age group are mainly schooled in larger towns and kids are housed...

    Not as good as Max but more competitive and aggressive than Albon and likely to be far closer to him on track. Potential for mishaps as when Max was driving with/against Ricciardo. Perez has a history of being aggressive with teammates and was bullying Stroll on track even before he lost his seat.

    Formula 1 2020

    Going to be interesting. Perez only looking for a seat because Stroll's dad owns the team and has enough money not to worry about putting the best drivers in his cars. Perez good enough to challenge Max and is not a default 2 driver. Hasn't worked well before for Red Bull when they have equal...

    Shaking hands is part of the culture here. Normally every time you meet someone you shake hands - considered rude not to. Even if I say good morning to my neighbour I'm expected to shake hands. Walk into a room with 20 people and you're expected to shake hands with everyone. Haven't shaken a...

    Shows how backward thinking they are. Republican party throwing massive sums at those 2 seats but people thinking not voting will be some kind of statement. If you hate Biden so much then make sure you block the Senate. Surely a logical assumption? Not for Republican voters :)

    We're not finding out about Xmas until the 21st (Xmas the 24th here). Hopefully restrictions remain in place. Our per capita death rate 3rd worst in the world for past 2 weeks. Nearly 3 times the UK. Eastern Europe not doing well at all 2nd time around.

    Just shows how flawed his legal challenges and thinking are. It's a conservative SC so it's going to stick to the rule of law and the Constitution. Lateral thinking or "liberal" interpretations are not qualities he was looking for when he appointed them - so that backfired. But this SC will no...

    Stratford cancer unit very good but numbers an issue. Been getting treatment at Warwick but it's an ordeal with all the COVID protocols before each visit. Also COVID protocols affect numbers of patients per day specialists can physically see. Dad is having hormone therapy to hold the cell...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Basic economics the more land you own the more income you receive. It's a flat fee. Same in all the EU countries I've worked with. Rich landowners don't get more per hectare. If they farm the land they get the subsidy. If they rent the land to other farmers they get (in very simple terms)...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Like so many Republicans who believe Biden is a Communist -God knows how they would have reacted to a Sanders win. There's this consistent theme in UK & US that any movement to the left is far more extreme and destructive than parallel moves to the right. Republican party consistently moving...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    As far as the EU land goes we'll be receiving similar level of subsidies but a restructure is coming again with a refocus on how funds are allocated. There will also be COVID recovery money as well. But obviously with Hungary & Poland blocking the EU budget until this week again the details on a...

    as i said though are our numbers of new infections have halved after about 2 weeks of a curfew starting - seeing the impact over last few days. Deaths still comparatively high though - around 1000 a day in UK population terms. But will be a slight relaxing for Xmas for gatherings in people's...
