In lieu of proper blogging, a meme
In case you were wondering, this is an even more quiet place than usual just now because I have exams at the moment. Sorry I’ve not been more active at replying to comments in recent weeks. I found the first exam more stressful than I should have, so I decided to take today off to […]

Liveblog: Spanish practice
It’s the race weekend and that means it’s time again to participate in F1Fanatic’s liveblogs. Sadly there were no liveblogs for Friday practice because Keith from F1Fanatic was working. And I wouldn’t have made it anyway because I had an exam! Thankfully, though, my weekend is unusually clear and I’m looking forward to a top […]
ITV F1 wins another Bafta — they must be clueless
ITV F1 have won their second Baftas in two years. For the many non-British readers of this blog, the Baftas are the most prestigious television awards in the country — our equivalent of the Emmys.

Can Formula 1 be ethical?
Once again, an interesting comment was left on a post — this time the one about human rights in China — and I wanted to share it on the front page. Step forward Can: Like it or not, the F1 world is about excess. I think it’s a crucial and fundamental part of its nature. […]
Where have the F1 video games gone?
Pitpass ran an interesting story yesterday about the deadlock that appears to have been reached between Sony and Bernie Ecclestone who are in negotiations to create a new Formula 1 video game. It is a shame that Bernie’s “hardball” attitude has led to this apparent stalemate. I have been a big fan of Sony’s Formula […]
Obama or Nobama?
It was my turn to write this week’s Scottish Roundup (nominations always welcome of course, even if it’s nothing to do with politics). I keep an eye on the Scottish blogs throughout the week in preparation, and towards the end of the week it became pretty clear that one particular wee stooshie had to be […]
