Re: Practical jokes, on others.
A classic one from when I was living in Uni halls was unscrewing someone's shower head and filling it with gravy granules before screwing it back on. Also, because our bedroom doors opened inwards we would sometimes get the kitchen bin and lean it against it, so that when they opened the door in a m...

Re: PF1 Pick 10 Competition - 2015 Edition (Austria Updated)
Positions 7-10 are getting very hard to predict now that Force India seem genuinely in the mix. Lotus are usually there or thereabouts but seem the least reliable while Red Bull and Toro Rosso are a bit hit and miss.

Re: What's worse, really early or late Sunday race.
I actually find the early afternoon races the least convenient - usually because Ms Chin wants to go out and do something and gets incredibly grumpy with me when I want to stay in and watch the race.
I quite like rolling out of bed at 5am, sticking on a pot of coffee and watching the early races.
