Proof I have too much time on my hands. I totted up the ratings posted so far and took some averages. (Note - subject to many errors potentially, but should be roughly accurate). The following drivers averaged above an 8: Alonso (8.16) Hamilton (8.63) Ricciardo (8.11) Verstappen (8.42) Vettel (8.88)...

Bottas won't be extra cautious, he will do his usual start. The last race was not his usual, he messed it up a bit. By the time the race starts in Silverstone he would have done another 9-10 practice starts in the car and probably a couple of hundred practice starts on his little start simulator th...

I've never used snapchat either. I think, and I'm potentially really out of touch, that the best thing Liberty have done so far was make the youtube channel have far better content and put stuff up more quickly etc. They make a little from adverts on the page and free content for (potential) fans. T...

Like, it seems most of the posts above, I really dislike it as a concept. I just think it's silly and a bit cartoonish in some way.

Actually, you could be onto something here... Zak Brown: "Okay Fernando, I've put together a contract offer I'm confident you'll not be able to refuse! We'll be splitting with Honda for 2018 in favour of Ferrari engines, which will be re-branded as FIAT. With our chassis - which you've praised repe...

Also finally got around to properly playing TWD: A New Frontier. It's standard Telltale Games fair, although it doesn't feel as strong as the first two seasons. Damn, I liked S1 and Michonne but I absolutely loved S2(loved Tales from the Borderlands and Batman too). I'd hoped they'd have kept the l...

Started playing Dragon Age: Inquisition.. I like most of the DA:I team mates. Cole has some pretty cool story. Cullen too. Lelianna might vary depending on decisions in DA. I really liked Dorian's character once you get past his outer shell, but I didn't like Sera apart from her romance specific pa...

I am a Brit. I'm neither a Hamilton fan or not. I like him in the car, I find him rather annoying in interviews and the like. All in all, I'm pretty ambivalent overall. I really would rather see a good race than any specific drivers win or retire etc. I did love Damon Hill and then David Coulthard w...

Been watching a lot of movies on Netflix recently. Spooks: The Greater Good. A bit of a weird one. Thankfully, Kit Harrington was good enough for the role he had (GoT is the big thing of the moment and imo it's lead to some awful casting decisions purely to get a name that will pull in the punters)....

Are there any weird or wonderful cars this year?

I like a little bit of Le Mans, I'll probably only watch about 1 hour of it total though.

There was a time when we were talking about Mass Effect everyday. HAs anyone played ME Andromeda, any good? Well, I'll say this first - the version I played is likely somewhat inferior to whatever version you will play. I also adore the original trilogy, despite the many flaws present over the thre...

What was the swearword said shortly before lap 35? I didn't hear it clearly but Croft and Brundle have mentioned it.

Polling of a few of my friends - all based in Glasgow's districts. A good few said voting SNP or Labour to keep the Tories out. Most do not seem to really have a strong opinion or a favoured candidate or party. It's 20 to 7, and I'm meeting my pal at 7pm (he got delayed on way home from work). I don...

Meeting my best mate at 18.00 for the customary walk to vote, then a cheeky chippy for dinner afterwards. Whenever we go to the polling station we do this. I think this is my first vote since I moved from my parents house that is on a miserable day though. Pretty miserable here in Glasgow. I must sa...

Started watching Archer. Gone through 5 seasons withing 2 weeks!!! What fun I love me some Archer. Great show. Beautiful art, a great world design, hilarious writing and an excellent voice cast. One of those shows I wished could do 22 episode seasons but I apprciate that might drop quality or be to...

So I was about to go to my bed earlier, when I saw Netflix had Terminator: Genisys up. I rather wanted to see this but ended up not seeing it at the cinema and forgot about it. Not a bad film. Probably the 3rd best in the series*. As for this film, I liked the somewhat fresh take, though their time ...

It depends on your interpretation of of "seeing". If I post a picture of the Eiffel Tower or Taj Mahal, I wouldn't say I'd seen them if you know what I mean. For countries where gun control is pretty strict, a gun become suitably rare to where it falls into a same kinda category. If a gun is commonp...

Just got home and saw this on BBC News. I admit, when the accident happened I wasn't too optimistic. This is really sad news. Still a young guy too.

Chris Cornell seemingly killed himself the other day. He was 52 and had performed a gig earlier that night. BBC Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/entertainment-arts-39959924 I love Audioslave. Soundgarden were good. I also think his "You Know My Name" was a near perfect Bond theme song for Casin...

Finally my buddy decided he wants to play Borderlands 2. It's BC on Xbone so I already had it. I love me some Borderlands. The humour is spot on for my taste. I got a good laugh out of the Top Gun and Ninja Turtle references when we were playing tonight. I'm also really looking forward to replay Tin...

I like to think I'm not all that bias. Though I still have an irrational love for Pedro De La Rosa... I don't have any favourites in F1 anymore really. I don't care if it's Vettel, Hamilton, Bottas, Alonso, Kimi or whomever winning so long as it's good racing. In NFL, I love my Vikings, but when the...

On the bus to work this morning, a bit of Linkin Park (Meteora) and Alter Bridge (Blackbird). Set me up nicely for the day. I just heard Heavy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dmQ3QWpy1Q), one of the newer singles by Linkin Park. I don't get how they've ended up making music like this. It's not ne...

I have no idea really. I don't watch enough of other motorsports to really have a firm understanding. I also think there isn't really enough crossover between "top" tiers of different disciplines to really use that as a statistical basis. I'd hope they are the best. I'd rather think I was watching t...

Replayed Darksiders recently. Great game. It's much like a Zelda game, except more emphasis on combat (certainly than TP or before anyway) for those who don't recall it. I played it once years ago but for some reason seeing it on my Xbone BC list made me want to play it again. Enjoyed it a lot again...

I'd fully recommend playing 3 and New Vegas if you ever see them for a cheap price, the game mechanics and graphics are outdated as you would expect but they're really enjoyable games still. I'd second this suggestion. If you do decide to get them, GOTY editions for Bethesda games come with an inst...

I have absolutely no idea. I'm going to vote win purely because I'd like it if he won. Not an informed decision here whatsoever.

I think Lewis gets his 4th WDC this year. However, I felt like Oz seemed like Ferrari was the better car on the tires, and China it seems the other way around. A few more races and we'll see if there is a real trend there. I think both teams will develop well, but I do think Mercedes have the upper ...

Finished Mass Effect: Andromeda. It's a good game. I'm not sure it's a great game. The first patch is out an mitigates some of the bugs and issues but some still persist. The open world aspect differs greatly from what made ME2 and ME3 so great. I suppose it's a little more like ME than 2 or 3 in th...

Well, this morning my tablet decided it couldn't work SSF1 with 8 laps left in the grand prix. Thankfully, I don't think I missed much. And 10 minutes ago I realised why my fridge has been rather loud today, my freezer door was slightly ajar. Everything is partially defrosted or pretty much room tem...

So Tony Romo is pretty much retired ( I think he said he's suit up if the Cowboys needed him). As a fan of the NFL, it's a little bittersweet. Romo was generally entertaining and a great QB (imo - 2014 Romo was MVP caliber). However, I think he's made the smart call. He's made well over $100 million...

I don't think so. I don't want to see anyone getting hurt, let alone dying for the sake of my entertainment. I understand freak accidents will occur but everything reasonable should be done to keep them to being freak accidents. If something bad happens, measures should be taken to make sure they do...

WrestleMania was awesome :D I'm not going to put any spoilers down for anyone watching it tonight, but pretty much everything was just great. I didn't really dig it too much at all. I thought it felt like many matches were just a bit of a let down. I also lost Battle Royal Bingo and Wrestlemania Bi...

Don't know if anyone else is up watching WWE hall of fame? I do love WrestleMania weekend, such a great weekend full of entertainment. But watching DDP's acceptance speech all I can think is that Shawn Michaels looks totally unimpressed and p*ssed off!!!! I didn't watch it, but I will be watching W...

When did we last see a mid-season manufacturer engine change? I can't recall if when RBR switched from Ferrari to Renault if that was in season or not. The Brawn one is somewhat close but I think I recall it being a challenge and they had to go Merc over their original preferred choice due to mounti...

Anyone on here use Arduino? Bought one for my nephew and started fiddling with it to start him off, then sent for one for myself :D They are brilliant.

Well - Vettel obviously. Hamilton I'd be very surprised if he didn't win races. Bottas is probably going to get a win. I figure he has a great car and over 20ish races he's likely to get the upper hand at least once. Kimi is not a guy I'd write off so I'd include him. I think Red Bull have a shot. I...

Strange fact I discovered today: The fella who was my instructor in the M4 is actually the drummer from Travis, Neil Primrose. Utterly bonkers.

I'm waiting at least 1 month after ME:A comes out so they can fix all the inevitable bugs that all games have on release these days, that way I can have a nice clean run through. It will also give me a chance to read reviews to see if it's worth buying at retail price or on a sale, just need to try...

Enjoying Mass Effect: Andromeda. Haven't sunk my teeth into the single player too much yet. Played a fair chunk of the multiplayer. Reunited with my old team of 3 and been tearing it up. We've already managed Silver extractions as a common occurence which I'm pretty happy with. Ended up playing as t...
