Just when you thought Formula 1 couldn’t stoop any lower. Rumours have just emerged that last year’s inaugural Singapore Grand Prix’s results could have been manipulated by the fact that Nelson Piquet’s “perfect timing” crash (which inadvertently gave his Renault teammate Fernando Alonso a fortuitous victory) might not have been as inevitable as it seemed. [...]

Waiting For A Star To Fall
Monday, 31 August, 2009
The weather these few days has been rather wet, which means the nights have generally been very cooling…which has made me rather happy. I love cool and windy nights. It doesn’t take a lot to make me happy. On another note, it’s great how there are always songs out there which fit your current state [...]
Thoughts On F1 Thus Far
Friday, 28 August, 2009
I don’t know if you noticed, but all the action during Sunday’s race in Valencia basically took place in the pits. Barrichello jumped Kovalainen on the first pitstop, then jumped Lewis on the second one…effectively sealing the win from third place at the start. I’m not sure if this is something I should be excited [...]
Go Yankees!
Friday, 28 August, 2009
I don’t often talk baseball, but I’m really glad to see the Yankees doing so well this season. I think this could be their year. They’ve got the best overall record in baseball, and they’re playing some really solid ball. I used to watch them win World Series titles but that seemed like ages ago [...]
Self-Sufficiency
Thursday, 27 August, 2009
Another great entry by Joe Stowell today: “I wonder if you are among those who want just enough of God to get yourself to a comfortable place, but not enough to pay the price of a deepening relationship with Him. If we want to be in tight with Jesus, we’ve got to abandon the idea [...]
Similarities
Wednesday, 26 August, 2009
Ok, so I’ve been listening to this old song “Don’t Know Much” by Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt lately (for the life of me, I can never memorise how to spell “Ronstadt”!). I have to say it’s an amazing song. Really. Listen to it in good-definition and it just moves you. Two incredible voices singing [...]
True Loneliness
Tuesday, 25 August, 2009
I was listening to the “Daily Strength with Joe Stowell” podcast on my way to work this morning (as is my usual practice), and today’s topic was about “Loneliness”. And one particular line he said struck me deeply: The only true loneliness is the aloneness of being disconnected from God. How true.
LOL!

Gotta love Schumi’s reaction after seeing Badoer i) inexplicably give way to Grosjean in the pit lane, and ii) inexplicably tread on the white line while exiting the pit lane. I don’t recall ever laughing out that loudly while watching an F1 race. The face says it all. (See 0:17 onwards in the clip above.) [...]
Archie Has Finally Chosen…Veronica!
Saturday, 22 August, 2009
Interesting news I read in the papers today: After 67 years, Archie has finally chosen to propose to Veronica! Obviously, this news has upset many fans of Archie comics, as they’ve always felt that Archie should have chosen Betty instead. To be honest, this news troubles me somewhat too. I wouldn’t say I was a [...]
I Won’t Push, I’ll Leave It Up To You…
Thursday, 20 August, 2009
One great thing about songs is that you can actually remember the specific period of your life in which you were listening to a particular song. As in, the time in your life in which the song was just swirling round in your mind, helping you tide through. I remember I first purchased the Mr [...]
