I was happy just to hear some upbeat national anthems for a change.
If those magats could read they'd be very upset with you.
In the words of Paul Simon - when it decides to call you Betty.
Oh no!

Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction Performance
| Pundit | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alex | Max | Lewis | Charles | 2 |
| Laura | Max | Lewis | Sergio | 4 |
| Sam | Max | Fernando | Charles | 2 |
Ignoring Max, Laura's the only one to make any accurate predictions after Checo's improved performance. Ferrari being Ferrari is detrimental to Alex and Sam.
| Pundit (appearances) | Points | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Laura (9) | 25 | 2.78 |
| Lawrence (8) | 19 | 2.38 |
| Jolyon (3) | 13 | 4.33 |
| Will (6) | 9 | 1.50 |
| Rosanna (2) | 8 | 4.00 |
| Alex (2) | 6 | 3.00 |
| Sam (2) | 4 | 2.00 |
| James (1) | 4 | 4.00 |
Laura increases her lead as we head to Belgium for the last race before summer break.
I've always called it Woolies. The logo is a "W' FFS
Just received the invoice from the sparky after our mains entry point burnt out and needed an after-hours replacement. It's in the ballpark I was expecting (in fact maybe a bit under), but not so high that it's worth going through house insurance to only save a couple of hundred once I pay the excess.
What's going to bake your noodle is whether you would bend the spoon if you ate the cookie.
Nyck getting the Latifi treatment...will be 21 out of 20 drivers.
Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction Performance
(Late because I had to wait 16 hours before I could watch and spent the entire day avoiding spoilers)
| Pundit | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| James | Max | Sergio | Lewis | 4 |
| Jolyon | Max | Lewis | George | 3 |
| Laura | Max | Carlos | Lando | 3 |
| Lawrence | Max | Charles | Carlos | 2 |
James picks up useful points on debut. Jolyon can't match the clean-sweep of his only previous appearance this season. Laura the only one to put Lando on the podium gets an extra point for her efforts.
Season so far:
| Pundit (appearances) | Points | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Laura (8) | 21 | 2.63 |
| Lawrence (8) | 19 | 2.38 |
| Jolyon (3) | 13 | 4.33 |
| Will (6) | 9 | 1.50 |
| Rosanna (2) | 8 | 4.00 |
| James (1) | 4 | 4.00 |
| Alex (1) | 4 | 4.00 |
| Sam (1) | 2 | 2.00 |
Laura puts another point between herself at the top of the table and Lawrence. If Jolyon makes any more appearances he may have a chance to catch second.#
Hopefully today will be better than yesterday. Had a power cut. Friends down the road also lost power. Called power co, they logged with lines co. As it got darker I then noticed neighbours had power, took a tour around - yes we were the only ones out. Called back power co to find out where lines co was. They were dispatched 20 minutes ago, still took another hour to show up (still night so no mass storm damage to hold things up). Lines co finally arrived, discovered that our point of entry had burnt out and needed replacement by electrician. This is 8.30pm. House is dark, no heating. Looked for a sparky (found one through our local FB group and then tracked him down to find a number). He came and replaced, then had to call back power co to tell lines co to come back out to reconnect. Back on at midnight.
Awaiting invoice....
