It’s usually the same prisons but different housing within it. So you get your room with cable and days out every now & then. Like a nicer room in a really really shitty hotel. Bit like travelling on budget but with prison guards who bring you the mcdonalds. Undertrials get a much worse deal so if your resources allow…

Nice that he’s a friendly sort of fellow. However, I dispute calling this a “prank”. A prank is when Berger put frogs in Sennas hotel room and when Senna called him (after having caught all said frogs), he asked him “Did you not find the snake yet?”. The Bergher Shennanigans are arguably up there with Hunt in the…

I weep for Mclaren. I want them back at the front. And Williams too. They both rock.

this is as good a time as any to mention one of my favourite parody accounts on twitter: https://twitter.com/DPRK_News

Is the iPhone the new Big Mac Index?

oh, god. that jogged a memory. this was a while back, but I was flying to london (and still at University) and “The Wrestler” had just come out so I put it on and promptly fell asleep only to be awoken by the stewardess when the snack trolley arrived and on the screen was Marissa Tomei doing some lovely things. Fast…

I’ve seen something similar (though not musical or informational mind you) in certain sort of mini road rumble strips (they don’t seem to do them anymore i think) where they made an absolute racket if you drove over them quickly. one felt like the car was falling apart. a slighly later noisier version would have three…

I found it disconcerting that the title says BMW vs Audi but the photo is Audi vs BMW. It felt weird.

I was a bit later but I did have the same problem with Dos 3.0! had to teach myself how to edit a startup batch file (saw a simplified version in some magazine) so that i could set flags to load items in extended memory because “Test Drive” wanted to use the base ram but a sound driver needed to run in base ram as…

Pokemhorn?

Lots of silverware in that cabinet.

Reminds me of a pinched sphincter and harks back to the time when I had to hold my poo in for a bit. If it did happen. Which it didn’t. Even if it had happened, twas a long day and terrible traffic but since it didn’t, let’s drop the subject. Some things are better withheld. Except poo. Which is a terrible experience.…

Coding a map feels like video game AI.

To be fair, it’s Maserati. Their common sense-o-meter probably had an electrical failure.

I managed to get a copy of the entire 1984 season a while back and watched it. Here’s what I learnt:

the front is a bit like a dark child of the Cayenne and the joker. It’s like daddy joker asked “why so serious” too many times. Rear and rear 3/4 feels range rovery. sex on the front seat looks difficult.

Bit harsh on Hulkenberg! That kid has pedigree. Put him in that Merc and I’d wager he’d beat Hamilton.

So like jaggery then?

If Hero of Alexandria and his kin didn’t spend so much time faffing around at orgies and the like, he might have engineered an engine with that aeolipile of his 2000 years ago. And we still wouldn’t be driving flying cars because it’s stupid and dangerous.

I’ll just leave this in here:
