"Oh, the snot has caked against my pants

It has turned into crystal"

They don't make first lines like that any more.

Ignore the annoying presenter, the performance is worth it.

Yes, I know Quiet Riot did a cover of this.

Probably the lamest vocal intro in rock history, but I love this.

You may have a point. That chicken definitely looks underage.

Oh dear! This brings back memories of listening to Ed "Stewpot" Stewart's radio show on a Saturday morning when I was a kid. I'm not nostalgic enough to actually play the vid though.

They are respectful to the original plots and very cleverly done. Quite dark as well, they're not playing it for laughs.

I think FOM have got themselves in a difficult position because they wanted a night race for the spectacle (so much more important than the racing). But doing it on the western side of America makes it tricky time-wise for their biggest audience. The ultra-late racing is probably a compromise that'll please no one.

That's very much the old school macho mindset that was prevalent in F1 when Brundle was driving.

I don't think many of the current drivers buy into that.

I can't imagine anything more likely to encourage a driver than being publicly bad-mouthed by Marko.

I mean, it's never failed to work before has it?

Never was a great fan of Murray Walker TBH. The combo of Murray and James Hunt was classic though. Murray would spout a load of bollocks and James, sounding half-pissed (which he probably was), would put him right.

They're half a second behind one of the Red Bulls. The other one seems to have given up. If McLaren can regularly put two drivers on the podium then RBR have a problem next year.

Lighting was Wright's speciality. The Alchemist is pretty epic too.

Yes, the architectural detail is amazing.

Exactly, it's not news. If you buy DRM-encoded media you don't own it. You are just leasing it on terms decided by the seller, which are subject to change at their whim.

Buy DRM-free or physical media and make your own copy.

Yes, when I have used Edge it's been absolutely fine. Probably better than Chrome. I'd likely be quite happy to use it most of the time if it wasn't for the fact that Microsoft are so intent on forcing me to do so.

I mostly use Vivaldi now which I think is by far the best of the Chromium-based browsers.
