iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Of course I've managed to break my headset in the middle of a Grand Prix weekend that requires headphones for early-morning F1 listening 🤣 Thankfully I do have a spare pair of headphones, but need to find another headset for uni tutorials.

Ready for FP2 - surprised at how uneventful FP1 was given that half the field haven't driven this circuit before. Which goes to show how well drivers prepare for new/unfamiliar tracks. Enjoyed hearing the 5Live team talk about past races here - so many good/dramatic ones. #MalaysianGP #BahrainGP

For my #F1 friends, FP1 from Malaysia is at 5.30am UK time tomorrow (Friday) morning. That's not as stupidly early as I thought it was. If you're in the US, it will be late/midnight for you. And we may well get weather drama, so keep an ice cream ready 😁 🍦 #MalaysianGP #BahrainGP

Trying to make a playlist of all my favourite songs on Deezer... got stopped from adding any more as I hit 5,000 tracks on said playlist and that is the maximum 🤣 I've made a playlist for part 2 of the list, but now need to decide how to divide it. Halves of the alphabet? 🤔

I sincerely hope Aston and Honda build a better car next season. Fernando deserves more than being stuck at the back of the grid. #F1

Dad is watching the touring cars, and I'm listening to Denmark v Wales. Or Denmarc v Cymru as I'm opting for the Welsh-language radio. Football is understandable in any language 😁

After last year's shenanigans for Isack in Zandvoort, I hope the trophies in Baku are not ceramic 😂 #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

Well, the national anthem is certainly dramatic. Sounds like it could easily be part of an opera. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Exactly. It says everything that City did so, assuming that they wouldn't be caught out. I hope the Premier League etc do not chicken out in terms of punishing them for their arrogance. Even if appeals processes could potentially drag out for several more years.

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The #F1 qualifying session is delayed. Marshals are cleaning the track after incidents in the #F2 race. So you've got a bit of extra time to make sure you've got your snacks etc sorted. Let's hope it's less chaotic than quali last year, where we saw 6 red flags 🫣 #AzerbaijanGP

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ugh, having the issue with Fantasy #F1 where I'm trying to confirm my team, but it's not going through. Maybe my changes for this weekend are too radical for it to cope with? 🤣 #AzerbaijanGP

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

And yes, I have a #U2 T-shirt on. I'd be doing today wrong if I didn't. 50 years is an amazing milestone for any band. Especially when, occasional health/injury issues aside, they've kept the same line-up from very early on. One of the soundtracks to my life.

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

FP3 is underway - and as much as commentators are supposed to be neutral, I love that the 5Live team are also hoping Cadillac can take advantage of any potential chaos tomorrow to get a first point (or more) on the board. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Wales are 1-0 down to Portugal. Ronaldo steps up to take a free kick - and misses it. Wales fans start singing "You're just a shit Gareth Bale" 🤣 Well played, Wales fans 👏

After his issues in first practice, Kimi Antonelli's car is not ready for the start of FP2. Let's hope they can fix it and get him out at some point before the end of the hour. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

FP2 is at 1pm UK time, so I'm off to Middle Earth in the break 😁 Should still be able to complete the Baggins Birthday quests. I think they're up until tomorrow (25th). #LOTRO #Lotrofamily

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

It is Thursday and there are #F1 cars in my ears. No, this isn't Monaco, it's the #AzerbaijanGP and everything is moved forward a day. And Isack Hadjar is reporting steering issues already, with it pulling so much he says he nearly crashed into the wall 😬

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

The #F1 being a day earlier than normal this weekend is really going to confuse me 🤣 How many times do you reckon the commentators will get confused too and refer to e.g. "Friday" practice tomorrow? #AzerbaijanGP

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Using a phone while driving has been illegal in the UK for plenty of years now. To see and hear a bus driver yesterday openly chatting away on his phone while driving... I was lost for words. At times, the bus was drifting into the middle of the road because he wasn't fully focused/in control 😬

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I feel better having got that out of my system. (Also, spambots randomly liking or reposting posts will be blocked).

Emotionally wobbly this morning. Today would have been my Mum's 75th birthday. I had an idea to go and visit the site where we scattered her ashes, but Dad's already parked in front of the TV and plans to watch the motorbikes all day. Not sure he's even clocked that it would be her birthday.

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

This happened in my town last night. Beating up a bus driver is bad enough. To then throw them off the bus and steal it - *with* passengers on board - and try and joy-ride around in it... utter madness. I'm glad no-one was seriously hurt. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Had a lovely day yesterday. My best mate came over to visit, and after having lunch up town, we came home and I finally got to try playing the new Tomodachi Life 😍 Added a Mii of myself to their island and had so much fun. Crying-with-laughter levels of fun.

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Got snacks ready - if the junior categories are anything to go by, the #SpanishGP could be chaos. Or it could be a total snoozefest with the #F1 drivers having learned from the mistakes of the F2 and F3 drivers. Who knows?

110

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Are we ready for quali in Madrid? This could be mayhem. And will probably feature the phrase "traffic paradise" at some point. Good luck everyone. #F1 #SpanishGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I have set my Fantasy #F1 team for the weekend. Given the accidents we've had already this weekend, I'm even more worried than usual about having potentially jinxed my selected drivers and teams 🫣 #SpanishGP

000

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Slow start to FP3 so far in Madrid - no-one's even been out for an installation lap. You'd think they'd want plenty of practice time on a new circuit. #F1 #SpanishGP

101

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Not a good start to FP2 for Fernando Alonso, who has a technical issue from FP1. Hopefully Aston can get that sorted so that he doesn't miss the entire session. #F1 #SpanishGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

At least with the pit-lane in Madrid being so long, that should mean the teams all have plenty of space for their garages. The 5Live team reckon it'll take at least 10 minutes to walk down it. And that red flags are a distinct possibility today. #F1 #SpanishGP

100

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

"It's probably the most dangerous circuit of the year". Given what we've seen of it so far, even before the #F1 cars get on track, I am worried. Thankfully the F2 driver is OK, but I hope the organisers are taking note. Improvements will need to be made. #SpanishGP

This is bizarre: Someone is contacting non-league players, pretending to be the manager of Gainsborough Trinity, who play in the 7th tier of English football. Is this some extreme new method of trying to force your team to sign players? 😳 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I turned off birthday notifications over on FB. But's it's *still* insisting on reminding me that today would have been my youngest nephew's birthday - and trying to prompt me to "send him good wishes". Believe me, I wish we could.

Turns out I scored a whopping 377 points in Fantasy #F1 this weekend 🤩 Mainly thanks to that ridiculous-in-the-best-way drive from Kimi Antonelli. #ItalianGP

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

#F1 + collectibles = dangerous combination for my wallet 🤣 Found the Turbo Attax starter pack while I was out today - and got 3 Signature Series cards (pic below with alt text). I still need to finish the World Cup sticker book, but my ADHD brain cannot resist collecting about favourite interests.

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

We saw some posts about this yesterday, so here's a BBC article about the crash (and *horrendously* sub-standard marshalling) in a ChinaGT series race in Shanghai. The organisers should be ashamed. You can't half-arse safety measures at *any* level of motorsport. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motors...

That Leclerc crash sounded bad enough listening to the radio commentary. It's even scarier now I've actually seen it on the TV highlights 😬 I hope Charles will be given time to recover. If there is any sign of concussion, he should skip Madrid and not be rushed back. #F1 #ItalianGP

Have we all sorted our snacks and drinks out? Been for a pre-race comfort break if you need one? And no, we didn't dream it yesterday - Pierre Gasly really *is* starting from pole. I hope he can get himself a podium finish. #F1 #ItalianGP

130

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

We can update that stat now 😁 And you wouldn't put it past Gasly to be on the podium tomorrow. They've taken his Monaco result off him, but he and Alpine are clearly determined to make up for it with another podium finish. #F1 #ItalianGP

Norris reporting issues with his McLaren as we get into Q1, but he's still on track and setting a lap time good enough for 5th at the moment. #F1 #ItalianGP

My Fantasy #F1 team is set up for this weekend. It feels compulsory to go big on Ferrari for Monza. Here's hoping I haven't just jinxed anyone... #ItalianGP

Alex Albon will join Kimi Antonelli in starting tomorrow's #ItalianGP from the back of the grid due to an engine penalty. And he's not getting much lap-time to start FP3 as he's reporting issues with his steering. #F1

Ready for FP2 at Monza. I managed to do the #LOTRO Farmer's Faire questing for my main character in between sessions. I will go back and do them for at least one other character later.

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I know, I know, it's "only" Friday practice. But it just feels right seeing two Ferraris at the top of the time-sheets at Monza. #F1 #ItalianGP

Ready for #F1 first practice at Monza 😎 And we have the regular BBC commentator back. Thank goodness for that. #ItalianGP

We wondered if Monza might be a bit too soon for Hadjar to recover. Wishing him all the best - and Lawson gets a further chance to show what he can do in the main team. #F1 #ItalianGP

RM @rmolloy.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Whisper it quietly, but I think I've finally worked out what was causing #LOTRO to crash on me. I'm very grateful for the players who help out with technical issues on the forums as they've been a huge help. My characters can finally get on with their Farmer's Faire questing. #LOTROfamily
