It's the Bahrain GP in [checks notes] Malaysia this weekend, so a quick thread about one of the greatest drives I've ever witnessed. Bit of backstory: halfway through the 1999 #F1 season, Michael Schumacher crashed badly at Silverstone. I was there and took all the photos in this thread.

How about a compromise: the march is allowed to go ahead, but instead of protesting, everybody should just point and laugh at their stupid little hats and orange sashes. Proper ridicule. Show them up as the ridiculous insecure little men they really are.

Here's me in 2013 pointing at something not remotely funny indeed. Snigger.

Obviously he's a gibbering simpleton, but it's going to be interesting to see if Google, Apple etc fall into line like they did with the moronic Gulf of / Lake America horseshit.

Dave, try hitting yourself repeatedly with a frying pan while your arse is used as target practice by the local archery team. It's about as tempting 🤨

This is hilarious. Some incredibly stupid people are going toe to toe with one of the smartest and most experienced prosecutors in history, and it's going just as badly as you'd expect.

I've had Facebook ads for things I've only talked about verbally, and never searched for or messaged about, so I've long suspected they spy on conversations without consent.

One of many, many reasons there should not be a death penalty.

My eldest has decided, independently, that he's atheist, as is his right. No school or government has any business forcing religion down his throat.

I feel like utter crap this morning. It's only a cold but I've got a banging headache, joints feel stiff, and I'm wiped out. Work is going to be fun!!

I have no issue with this. My only problem is that he also brought her back.

For the 2nd week in a row I'm watching Pottery Throwdown, and it's heartwarming just how invested the celebs are. Layton and Fatiha particularly seem chuffed to bits just to be there. Lucy's the weak link, her faux Karl Pilkington act wears thin really quickly.

My hopes weren't high, but I've just had an Asda pizza, the ones that they make fresh for you at the counter. 7/8th of it are now in the food recycling bin. Gawd it was grim. I usually make my own dough from scratch but it's been a stupidly busy and draining few days. Lesson learned.

Dementia is fucking evil. I've just had a painful conversation with the ex-MIL who made a 20 second story (thought she'd lost her debit card, found it in her bus pass) last quarter of an hour with unnecessary detail, tangents, and repetition. It's not her fault whatsoever, but it's so sad & cruel.

Next week it's the Bahrain grand prix in, erm, Malaysia. Which got me looking back through photos of when I was there in 1999 for the first race. Here's me being pushed into a swimming pool in Penang, when I was still vaguely thin and fit.

Blew London out as we got up too late and spent far too long having breakfast. Now in the park where there's an amateur football match, featuring 21 good natured players and 1 braying loudmouth who's taking it way too seriously, and just called his team mate a fucking useless cunt at 120 decibels.

PARKLIFE! It's been a lovely day out in nature with my boys, after quite a hectic stressful full-on week. That there London tomorrow by contrast, but we're exploring some green spaces so hopefully same again.

I've only just remembered that #Strictly is on and I'm not actually that fussed, especially given that it's a 2h30m slog. I'll watch tomorrow and skip all the waffle again, I'm only really interested in the dances and the judges' comments. #scd
