Of course, that year passed quite some time ago, and I have decided I’ve had enough of sticking to that, so here are a few resolutions for 2010:
- I will read my Bible every day;
- I will vote for [deleted - secret ballot and all that] in the General Election;
- I will learn a new language;
- I will read at least 20 books;
- I will post on my website more;
- I will set a personal best in a 10k race;
- I will try out a new sport;
- I will pass my driving test;
- I will explore new territory on my racing bike;
- I will be as witty, dark and cutting as ever.

Sounds like it should be a cartoon, doesn’t it? Well, be careful what you wish for – I’ve done exactly that.
As you may know, the UK is currently in an Armageddon-style blackout, with almost all air travel banned, as ash slowly creeps southwards across our Isles. Someone should make a film out of it.
Anyway, there was a certain degree of excitement in the office yesterday as people tracked the moving ash, NATS and the the Met Office department devoted to volcanic ash – bet you didn’t know about that one, eh?

You may remember my New Year’s Resolutions. You may not. Anyhow, I figured I should give an update, since I am stuck in an airport, waiting for a delayed flight, and since an update can count as part of keeping one of the resolutions. So here goes…
My first resolution was that I would read my Bible every day. I also said that would be the hardest! It’s easy to do when I am not busy, and not tired, but when I get busy or tired, guess what goes out of the window first? You guessed it! This needs some work.
There’s not a great deal I can do about the second resolution yet, so I’ll leave it at that.
Third: learning a new language. Haven’t done much about it yet, but I am going to Norway in May, so it would be good to start that. I still intend on brushing up on my French and Italian though. I have tested myself and was surprised by how much I remembered!
Fourth: reading twenty books (and books of the Bible don’t count). Ambitious. Failing miserably. Must do better, like even picking one up…
Fifth: posting on my website more. Hmm. Could do better, eh? To be fair, I am currently working on two new sites, so thois has rather eaten into this time. It will improve…
Sixth: personal best in a 10k race. Well, that won’t happen for a while yet. We’re looking at late summer / early autumn for 10k races, but when it comes round, I’m confident.
Seventh: trying out a new sport. I have joined an American Football team to play in competitively, and fully intend to give curling a go. Good progress.
Eighth: driving test. Let’s not talk about that.
Ninth: new territory on my racing bike. Well, I have gone through Rutherglen, Parkhead, Cambuslang and Garelochhead, so there has been some progress, but it would be good to branch out more too.
Tenth: Of course I am as witty, dark and cutting as ever. I’ve even been told. It’s natural. Why waste a gift?
So there you go. And my plane is still nowhere near.

It promises to be a cracker of a year, with four big teams looking neck-and-neck – Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes. Testing seemed to suggest McLaren and Ferrari may have a slight edge, but it really looks like anything could happen this weekend. It will be fascinating.
World Champion Jenson Button lines up alongside Lewis Hamilton, who had the crown before him. Button feels he has a point to prove. Hamilton will be eyeing up Alonso, in the Ferrari, who himself will feel like he has a score to settle after a fractious year in 2007, and two lacklustre years since. Furthermore, he partners Massa, who will feel he has a point to prove following his accident in Hungary last year, and there is no reason why he can’t upset the pundits yet again, after being written off time and time before. As if that wasn’t enough, some guy called Michael Schumacher (ever heard of him?) leads the Mercedes challenge, partnering Nico Rosberg, who, althuogh never setting F1 on fire, is undoubtedly talented. Whether he can hold it together next to the surprise on a 7-times world champion next to him is up in the air.
It promises to be absolutely fascinating. As is always the case, the first race is bound to provide surprises, but only time will tell exactly what they may be. New rules are in place this year: low fuel qualifying, narrower front tyres, no race refuelling. How will drivers cope? Will Michael Schumcher be on the pace over a race distance? Can Webber consistently match and beat Vettel? Will Hamilton blow away Button? Will Massa fade into the shadow of Alonso? Here is my race prediction (cue very long editorial pause – choosing between first and second is incredibly tight):
- Fernando Alonso;
- Lewis Hamilton;
- Jenson Button.
I’ll be honest – it’s an incredibly tough choice. There seems to be nothing between McLaren and Ferrari, but I will shade it in Ferrari’s favour. After the last three seasons, I think Alonso will do anything win the opener in Bahrain. Not that everyone else won’t, but Alonso knows he needs to set a marker at Ferrari and he will loathe the sight of a McLaren in front of him. Alonso and Hamilton won’t be afraid of banging wheels, but I think Alonso, like Prost, has enough to pull a fast one over a rival like Hamilton. Past that, Massa doesn’t have a great record starting the season, and may struggle for racecraft at the first race. He’ll be fast, but will, I think, struggle for a podium at the first race. The same goes for Schumacher. Rosberg will, I think, be in the shade of the other 7 drivers.
Which leaves Red Bull. Where exactly are they? I can’t help but feel we’ve not quite seen everything they have to offer. It will be interesting to see what happens there. There are, of course, 16 others cars too, but please don’t expect me to tell you where they will be! I’ll wait until after free practice for that!

I do try not to indulge to much in blatant crowing, megalomania or melodrama. However, I am completely incapable of doing so. Therefore, so my thinking goes, better enjoy the moment whilst you can.
Today was a very normal day. There was nothing out of the ordinary, for which I was very glad, having worked a 14-hour day on Sunday. I had been vaguely aware of the Tories’ #CashGordon campaign, but I hadn’t really taken any notice, being busy and uninterested in elitist Tory toffs. However, as lunch time approached, I saw a growth in Tweets referring to the campaign. It seemed there were problems. Someone was having a party. The picture, put together very accurately by Meg Pickard, gives a run-down of the timeline and events that followed (click the picture to see a larger version).
Whoever put together the #CashGordon website (which appears to have been plagiarised from an American campaign website, but that’s a different story which I will leave to my online comrade Political Scrapbook) didn’t bother to protect the website from cross site scripting (XSS). Unfortunately for them, this meant people could Tweet Javascript and style information and do anything from changing font sizes to redirecting the #CashGordon website to any other online location they wished. Thus, we had everything from general abuse to “Cameron is a ****” in red, 48pt letters, to redirects to the Labour Party website, Rickrolls and porn.
If this wasn’t enough of a fail, the final nail in the #EpicFail coffin was struck when Conservative Party HQ redirected the #CashGordon site to a news article on their own website. It 404′d.
There is still a part of me slightly in awe of the person who first realised the could execute XSS. What an #EpicFail, followed by a CCHQ #facepalm. The Tories clearly couldn’t even walk the plank in the right direction.

For once, it’s not because I haven’t got round to it, or because I forgot to publish. It’s because there’s very little of note to say.
On the face of it, the race was set to be a cracker. Four top teams slugging it out, a returning 7-time world champion, Britain v. Germany, Alonso v. Hamilton and the rest of it. In truth, the biggest excitement was watching Nico Hulkenberg pass a much slower Jarno Trulli after recovering from an early spin.
The race was, in fact, so dull that I fell asleep with 10 laps to go. Bahrain’s new layout is uninspiring and cars seem unable to follow one another in close quarters. Why? Out come the usual theories of aerodynamic grip and wings, but maybe, just maybe, such views are misplaced. More on that another time, but in the meantime, let’s hope Australia is better. After all, it’s hard to stay awake for that race for the time difference alone!
http://www.noelinho.org/2010/03/20/bahrain-grand-prix-review/ content .
It is less than two weeks since the opening of the 2010 F1 season, but I struggle to remember anything memorable from it. It was the dullest race in recent memory, with only the USGP from 2005 competing. It was, perhaps, inevitable given the hype before the season started – but all the same, it was abysmal. According to the Guardian, even Lewis Hamilton’s mum was bored. It must have been bad.
Still, we now travel to the more interesting surroundings of the usual season opener in Melbourne. This is a much different track to Bahrain. It is hard on break wear and is more akin to a street track, with imposing barriers and many challenging corners. Cars need good traction at Melbourne, along with a strong engine and good brakes.
The race in Australia usually produces good racing, action and crashes. In 1999, Alex Zanardi spectacularly crashed over the kerb on the exit of turn 4, and last year. Vettel and Kubica came together with only two laps left. David Coulthard managed to lose a rear wing in qualifying one year, and Heinz-Harold Frentzen’s Williams debut in 1998 ended with brake failure whilst the two McLarens used their extra 3rd pedal to win in one of the most dominating performances in living memory. In 1996, Jacques Villeneuve was winning until suffering an oil leak in the closing stages, whilst Michael Schumacher crashed out in 2006, took a storming drive to 12th place in 1999 and watched his brother Ralf take off like Concorde over the back of Rubens Barrichello in 2002. Talking of taking off, Jacques Villeneuve flew straight on at turn 3 in 2001, a flying wheel striking and killing a marshall, Martin Brundle went for a few barrel rolls in 1995, Coulthard crashed into the pit entry in 2005, Damon Hill failed to make the start in his first race in defence of his F1 title in 1997 and David Coulthard, in another moment of madness, almost decapitated Alexander Wurz in 2007 in a move Takuma Sato and Nazuki Najajima would think twice about. And to think, we’ve only been coming to Melbourne for 15 years!
The Australian Grand Prix is never a disappointment. If the race is dull this weekend, F1 will have serious image problems this year. We need a good race. The Red Bull came out of nowhere in Bahrain to demonstrates a huge one-lap superiority over everyone else, whilst the McLaren seemed a little off the pace. Ferrari will be confident of adding another victory to their 1-2 in Bahrain. Michael Schumacher will be looking to show Nico Rosberg that he is still King after being beaten in every session for only the second time in 249 races in Bahrain, and Jenson Button will be hoping to answer his critics for dismissing his chances as he lines up against Lewis Hamilton, who had the upper hand first time out. So anyway, without further ado, here is my prediction for the podium in Australia:
- Fernando Alonso
- Sebastien Vettel
- Lewis Hamilton
I correctly picked Alonso as the winner last time out, and also picked Hamilton on the podium, though he finished in 3rd rather than 2nd. I am confident of another Ferrari win, but Felipe Massa doesn’t have a fantastic track record at Melbourne. To be honest, I’m hedging my bets. Massa may spoil my podium party, but I’m saying he’ll come in fourth. Time will tell…

On the same day, the party launched their pledge card for the next election. I can’t help but feel that both the website and the pledge card are rough around the edges, lacking an attention to detail sorely missing since the acclaimed “New Labour” days. There are a few things that have slipped under the radar, and Labour’s message suffers for that.
Let’s start with the website. To be honest, the Labour Party always seem to be updating their website, but it never seems to get very much better. With the latest refresh, they have at least got their message and logo right at the top, with a Labour logo and the “future fair for all” banner, along with a logo to go with it. There are two problems with the “future fair for all” banner though. Firstly, the “future fair for all” logo looks, in some versions, like a railway bridge. On the main website, it looks like a setting sun. You know, as in, a sunset. OK, so some people may say it’s meant to be a sunrise, but still, did no-one in the Labour Party see the massive own goal they’re letting themselves in for there?
Three more things on the website. Firstly, the actual slogan, “a future fair for all”. I don’t like it, and I’ll tell you why. It’s not directional. It’s ideational. It’s not practical. It’s ideological – to an extent – but it doesn’t go beyond saying “wouldn’t it be nice if the world was fairer”. It would carry more impact with a subtle change to something like “building a fairer future for all”, as that carries the idea that it is something that requires action to achieve. It gives an impression of purpose and direction. It’s more promising and positive, rather than wishful, which is more how “a future fair for all” comes across.
Secondly, there is a section entitled “Back the Ban”. For most Labour-minded people, backing the ban on fox hunting with hounds is like having a shower when you get up. Decent people do it. Personally, I couldn’t care less about a pesky fox that tears apart farmers’ chickens, and would gladly carry out the equivalent of a Canadian seal hunt given the chance. Still, that’s for another day. The point is, on the website – the Labour Party website – it says, “the next parliament may see legislation introduced which specifically allows foxes to be ripped apart at the teeth of hounds. Will you join us in fighting this barbarity?”. Now I should say, the statement is correct. My response is “no”. But the point is this: Labour are basically saying, on their website, “we might lose”. It is a negative statement, instigated from a negative mindset. It contributes to a mindset that says Labour will lose, best to operate an opposition mindset. This is not the right way of doing things. Instead, Labour, as the governing party, should use that initiative. Turn it on the Tories. It should say, “The Tories want to legislate to allow hounds to rip foxes apart. Help us to fight this barbarity”. This asserts power in a way an opposition mindset isn’t able to do.
Thirdly, why on earth is there a big blue bar going across the website, which, when selected, turns all the words yellow? #FAIL! I see blue, I think of Tories. I see yellow, I think of Lib Dems. I see a bolder yellow, I think of the SNP. The blue shouldn’t be blue, it should be red. And the yellow – well, it’s not so much an issue then, actually. But you don’t go scoring own goals like that. Whoever is in charge of the web team at Labour HQ needs to raise their game and think of brand image a little more.
That said, whoever was in charge of the pledge card should be in even more trouble. have you seen it?
What, at first look, does that look like? OK, forget whether it’s a sunrise or a sunset, what does it look like past that? Does it remind you of old Corn Flakes adverts? or Muesli boxes? I half-expect to see a rooster with a bowl of breakfast cereal, with skimmed milk pouring down the screen – and then there’s the logo on the right, at the top. See what I mean about the railway bridge? It looks strange, adding nothing to the message. Some people will also say that the writing is hard to read, which it is on a screen, but in print, it won’t pose a problem.
There are two main problems with the background image. Firstly, it’s not a great image. It is full of glare and looks like it was taken by an amateur. It is doubtless a stock photo from a website specialising in those kinds of photos, but there is no vibrancy to the colour, no clarity. It looks a little washed out, tired even. It seems to symbolise the ageing days of a condemned administration – not the kind of image you want to give off when you stand accused of being just that! Secondly, the image adds nothing to the message. It is a wasted image. The picture is what people will see first – before the writing – and so it needs to draw people in. It doesn’t. It would be much better to use an image that can back up one of the pledges. Here’s something I knocked up:
Now before I get slated for a sloppy effort, I should say I spent no more than half an hour on this, and it only took that long because I was working in GIMP, which is an image editor and little more. It isn’t designed for content creation, which is what I was really doing here. I would normally use CorelDraw for this sort of effort, but I don’t have it at home, sadly. Anyway, The Labour logo is now in red – corporate colours (and by the way, Labour Party people, your available logos for people to use in publicity through your website is absolutely abysmal and had got progressively worse over the last few years) – with a very simple mask to make it easy to see amongst the background.
On the right are the pledges – slightly modified, if you look closely. For example, “securing the recovery” has always sounded very awkward, why not refer to “strong economic recovery”? It sums up the aim in a much more positive light. Why only raise family living standards? I am a single man, and I’ve just been alienated there. Talk of general living standards, and of families within that.
The last pledge did say “strengthen fairness in communities”. Now I know Gordon Brown is a fan of this fairness, but actually, if you strengthen communities, they should be fairer too. And besides, how do you define “fairness”? It’s a throwaway term. Useless. For every one way you show fairness to have improved, you’ll find then people to show you where it got worse, but it is easy to show that you have strengthened communities, as long as you have.
Now look at the background. I’ll grant you, it’s not the best, but I’ve actually nicked it from other Labour Party material. It’s the best I could find in limited time. It’s a man, and he’s working. Thus, it links in with economic recovery, but also, potentially, with the high tech economy. It would be great to see a pledge card engaging with the high tech economy pledge. I have, as you can see, taken out the “future fair for all” logo. It had no value.
So there you go, a (not so quick) run-down of Labour’s p ledge cards and new website. Verdict: must do better. Labour Party HQ, please feel free to contact me to discuss further. And would you believe it, just before I go to publish, a Labour Pledge spoof website has been launched! Have fun!
Think I’m the only one thinking this? Check out Beau Bo D’Or, who has it right on the money!

So there you go, a (not so quick) run-down of Labour’s p
People who know me well know that I have a passion for Rwanda. It is said to be a beautiful country, full of fertile plains and hills. The people are said to be a remarkable people. The history of Rwanda is a history of great intrigue, sadness and violence. It certainly isn’t a comfortable read, yet there is something incredibly intriguing about the country, and there has, over the past couple of years, been a growth in the number of Third Sector organisations working in the country, which has been very good to see.
I myself have been looking at finding a way of doing some work in the country for some time. As a technically minded person, I have always seen my skills as a good avenue for finding work in the country. A few months ago (before Christmas) I sent a chance email to a bureaucrat in the Rwandan Government, having looked at their website (it’s not much to look at, is it?). This being Africa, there are plenty of them. Anyway, I waited a few weeks and heard nothing in return. This didn’t surprise me. I forgot about it.
Anyway, in mid-February I finally received a reply. Over an exchange of emails, I took them through Sassenach CMS, a content management system I have been working on for a while and am currently re-writing when I get a moment. Anyway, the upshot of it, after a little to- and fro- of emails, the government have officially invited me to join their Internet Infrastructure team, which is their way of talking about their government websites and incorporates their drive to make more information available to people in Rwanda through the Internet, which will, hopefully, revolutionise communication and education in Rwanda once technology and Internet are more widely available in the country (which is, admittedly, a large and expensive job). The contract is for one year initially, with an option of extending the contract for another year after that, subject to final confirmation of a visa. I will also have to learn Kinyarwanda, the official language of the country. There is also a French graphic designer and coder who has been recruited to help with this project, and who will also help with translation into French. We are both expecting to start this, and move out to Rwanda, by around late July / early August as long as everything goes smoothly.
There is more information about this exciting new project on the Rwandan Government website (English version).

< p > T r y i n g o u t a n e w s p o r t & # 8 2 1 1 ; w e l l , I h a v e o n e i n m i n d a It dawned on me this morning that this week is election week. Yes, I hadn’t really twigged until now that we are forty-eight hours away from the closing of polls in an election race that, if you read everything that’s been written in the media, is too close to call, the three party election, whatever nonsense they feel like writing (I say this – it’s blatantly obvious the Conservative Party will win, with comfortably the most seats, and with a tiny majority, I predict).
Anyway, the point is, there are the three main parties – Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats – and the sideshow parties – the SNP, the BNP, UKIP and the Greens. So, as the election draws, who will Noelinho.org endorse? You’re about to find out. So, here is, in brief, a quick run-down of the minor parties:
- SNP: Nationalists. Don’t like that. Alex Salmond / Nicola Sturgeon – don’t like them either. Their education policy in Scotland has been a disaster. Although they do want to get rid of Trident, which I fully agree with. Unless I can have the red button, and then it’s a different story…
- BNP: Err…Nick Griffin? Oh, ok, I’ll give a better opinion. I’m not a Nazi, I don’t deny the Holocaust, I quite like Jewish people and I don’t have much of an issue with black people either. I’m not really sure what their policies are apart from deporting people they don’t like, but I doubt I would fit their idea of an Aryan anyway…
- UKIP: I quite like their policy of getting out of Europe – I can’t stand the European Union. Having said that, it’s about the only thing I agree on, and they’ve not been purer than pure in the Europeam Parliament either…(although did you see the berating of a poor, war-wounded Belgian Prime Minister? That was good!)
- Greens: Statist, authoritarian eco-chumps. No thanks. On yer bike, preferably off the cliff.
Oh well, that’s four parties down, so we’re half way through! So, the major parties, in a little more depth:
- Labour: Leader isn’t wonderful, but probably the best of the three main party leaders. Like him or not, he does carry gravitas, especially in the international community, and he definitely has a better grasp of what he wants to achieve and how to achieve it – whether you agree with that plan or not. On the other side of the coin, he is volatile and comes across as detached from the people. Labour’s team, as a whole, is the most impressive. They have done a lot through the tax credits system to try and redistribute wealth and have invested heavily in the NHS with fantastic results. Yet, at the same time, civil liberties have been slowly eroded, power has seeped to the European Union and equalities legislation has turned almost into creating thought crime.
- Conservatives: Would you trust a front bench of Cameron, Fox, Osbourne and Eric Pickles? Me neither. I wouldn’t trust Pickles with a pie, let alone the country. The party also wants to encourage / reward / bribe people into marriage. Not with my money, thanks. Whatever they like to say, they are authoritarian. They want to renew Trident, wasting more money, and like to tell us at every opportunity that Britain is wrecked / burnt to a crisp / broken / about to be swallowed up into middle Earth unless we vote for Dave and Dave only. I’d rather take the risk. Oh yeah, and “hug a hoodie”?
- Liberal Democrats: Ah, led by the petulant schoolboy. How many Liberal Democrats would have any clue how to govern? Two, perhaps? I’m counting Charles Kennedy and Chris Huhne, if you’re wondering… See, I thought Liberal Democrats were meant to be Liberal in ideology, but apparently they aren’t. They have thrown their own weight behind thought crime legislation too. All rather illiberal. Still, they are against Trident, but they seem to want to spend the budget twice over. They do want to raise the Personal Tax Allowance to £10,000 though, which would be a great move. Aside from this, they have little to offer, other than amusement when their volunteers get arrested for breaking the law, or for when Nick Clegg says he’ll be Primer Minister, or that the Liberal Democrats will hold the balance of power. They won’t.
So, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…who is Noelinho.org endorsing in this election? Well, after much consideration, angst and heated debate amongst the editorial team (with a few others chipping in), we (I) have decided that it is indeed time for change. Radical change. Change that puts a real smile on your face – and there’s only one party than can do that. The Monster Raving Loony William Hill Party. Why? Here are the policies that did it for me:
- It is proposed that The European Union end its discrimination by creating a “Court of Human Lefts” because their present policy is one- sided – that got the left-handed vote!
- Make it illegal for super heroes to use their powers for evil (sensible, no?);
- Ban tractors from driving on roads, they can drive across their fields (why has no-one ever done this?);
- Sell shares in Northen rock, buy shares in Blackpool rock – it must be worth more!
- The Loch Ness Monster should be added to the endangered species list;
- Everyone in England should buy one hundred square meters (or be subsidized to do so) of France. The English would then own France, saving a lot of arguments, and winning us another UN veto… After owning France, It is proposed that we should rent it back to the French.
My support is not total, for there are some less well-thought policies, such as:
- It is proposed that the Isle of Man be renamed to “The Isle of Men, Women, Children and some Animals” as not just men live there (equalities legislation gone too far);
- The Isle of Wight should be changed to: “The Isle of Mixed Races, and Cultures Located off the Coast of Britain” (for the same reason);
- Government Whips will only be used if a politician has been really bad. Minor offences should receive the political slipper (Parliament is already in enough disrepute);
- Cricket will be made more interesting by eliminating the use of padding. (and possibly cricket bats) – err, leave my sport alone!
Still, these minor quibbles aside, Noelinho.org does believe that The Monster Raving Loony William Hill Party does present the best vision for Britain.
Unfortunately, they are only standing in twenty-seven seats, though it could be twenty-eight next time around…

The Bahrain Grand Prix wasn’t the most exciting race ever seen, and many felt that, given the rule changes, the Australian Grand Prix needed to produce some good racing. True to form, it did. It produced the usual Melbourne crashes, some changeable conditions throwing things wide open, and people on different pit strategies, resulting in a Grand Prix that even by Melbourne’s standards will be remembered for a while.
Vettel started from pole position and led from the start, with Webber following in second. Alonso got a poor start, placing him behind team-mate Felipe Massa. The race started in wet conditions, but the track quickly dried, and Jenson Button took a dive into the pits after an early safety car, swapping his intermediate tyres for dry tyres. It instantly looked like a mistake, as he went straight on at turn four, but soon was setting fastest sectors and in an instant, the rest of the pack – apart from the Red Bulls – came in and swapped their tyres for dry ones too. The Red Bull cars stopped slightly later, with Mark Webber losing out, but Vettel retained his lead, with Button behind him in second place – a significant gain over his sixth place before the stops. Vettel slowly started to pull away, and looked to have the race in the bag, a bit like in Bahrain. But then, like in Bahrain, trouble befell him, and his car ended up in the gravel trap, due to causes seemingly unknown. Brake failure was blamed, but Brembo, Red Bull’s brake suppliers, denied they were to blame. Anyhow, Vettel was out of the race, and somehow, Jenson Button was leading a race it looked like he had thrown away.
From there, Button didn’t look back. Later in the race, Webber and Hamilton both pitted again for fresh tyres and were comfortably faster, but were both too far back to do anything about Button. Along the way, Webber and Hamilton had a nice scrap, until Hamilton tried to pull a move on Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, who hung him out to dry on the outside and then scooted off into the distance as Mark Webber forgot to brake and went straight into the back of Hamilton.
My personal highlight of the race, however, was when Kobayashi lost his front wing on the first lap, spearing towards the inside of the track and t-boning a Toro Rosso out of the way and into the gravel trap – causing the day’s only safety car. Top quality crash, even by his standards.
So what did Australia tell us? For a start, it reminded us that some tracks always produce good races – and reminded us that some don’t. Bahrain is definitely in the latter category. It also told us that it will be much better for drivers to one-stop than two-stop this year, as track position proved very important. And what does that mean? It means that drivers who look after their tyres better will, if everyone stops once, be in a much better position at the end of the race.
The race also showed us that Red Bull are definitely the fastest car, that, depending upon reliability, Vettel will be quite something to stop this year, that Alonso looks to be smashing Massa into the ground at Ferrari, that Button’s career isn’t finished at McLaren – and that Hamilton is still lacking the maturity that he needs to be the most complete racing driver in Formula 1. Roll on Malaysia…

Going in to the weekend, it seems hard not to pick the Red Bulls to be the pace setters, though many are wondering if they will manage to finish the race. Eyes will also be on Michael Schumacher as he looks to beat his team-mate at the third attempt, though Nico Rosberg, who has impressed so far this season, will have other ideas.
It is, however, Ferrari and McLaren that will provide the most interesting battles up front. Alonso was by far the faster Ferrari in Australia, although Melbourne is hardly Massa’s favourite track. Bahrain was Massa’s first race back after his head injury, and so Malaysia will likely give us our first real look at the Alonso up against Massa. If Alonso beats Massa this weekend in the manner he did in Australia, then Massa is in for a long season. If Massa can give Alonso a run for his money this weekend, then maybe we will see a better scrap at Ferrari this year than it looked like last weekend. At McLaren, meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton will be determined to prove a point this weekend after a disaster in Australia, with poor team strategy and a tap from Mark Webber meaning he ended up watching his team-mate Jenson Button win a race he will feel he had a decent shout of taking the chequered flag in himself.
Further down the field – or not, as the case may be – some will be watching Robert Kubica to see if he is able to put in another strong performance after a second place finish in Australia. Nico Hulkenberg will be looking to put in a stronger performance against his experienced, but not lightening fast, team-mate Rubens Barrichello. BMW-Sauber will just be hoping the front wing stays glued to their cars. And so, without further ado, here is my top three for Malaysia:
- Sebastien Vettel (he has to eventually!);
- Fernando Alonso;
- Mark Webber.
I’m just hoping I have a little more success than in Bahrain!
b ȇGb mpact with a subtle change to something like “building a fairer future for all”, as that carries the idea that it is something that requires action to achieve. It gives an impression of purpose and direction. It’s more promising and positive, rather than wishful, which is more how “a future fair for all” comes across.
Secondly, there is a section entitled “Back the Ban”. For most Labour-minded people, backing the ban on fox hunting with hounds is like having a shower when you get up. Decent people do it. Personally, I couldn’t care less about a pesky fox that tears apart farmers’ chickens, and would gladly carry out the equivalent of a Canadian seal hunt given the chance. Still, that’s for another day. The point is, on the website – the Labour Party website – it says, “the next parliament may see legislation introduced which specifically allows foxes to be ripped apart at the teeth of hounds. Will you join us in fighting this barbarity?”. Now I should say, the statement is correct. My response is “no”. But the point is this: Labour are basically saying, on their website, “we might lose”. It is a negative statement, instigated from a negative mindset. It contributes to a mindset that says Labour will lose, best to operate an opposition mindset. This is not the right way of doing things. Instead, Labour, as the governing party, should use that initiative. Turn it on the Tories. It should say, “The Tories want to legislate to allow hounds to rip foxes apart. Help us to fight this barbarity”. This asserts power in a way an opposition mindset isn’t able to do.
Thirdly, why on earth is there a big blue bar going across the website, which, when selected, turns all the words yellow? #FAIL! I see blue, I think of Tories. I see yellow, I think of Lib Dems. I see a bolder yellow, I think of the SNP. The blue shouldn’t be blue, it should be red. And the yellow – well, it’s not so much an issue then, actually. But you don’t go scoring own goals like that. Whoever is in charge of the web team at Labour HQ needs to raise their game and think of brand image a little more.
That said, whoever was in charge of the pledge card should be in even more trouble. have you seen it?
What, at first look, does that look like? OK, forget whether it’s a sunrise or a sunset, what does it look like past that? Does it remind you of old Corn Flakes adverts? or Muesli boxes? I half-expect to see a rooster with a bowl of breakfast cereal, with skimmed milk pouring down the screen – and then there’s the logo on the right, at the top. See what I mean about the railway bridge? It looks strange, adding nothing to the message. Some people will also say that the writing is hard to read, which it is on a screen, but in print, it won’t pose a problem.
There are two main problems with the background image. Firstly, it’s not a great image. It is full of glare and looks like it was taken by an amateur. It is doubtless a stock photo from a website specialising in those kinds of photos, but there is no vibrancy to the colour, no clarity. It looks a little washed out, tired even. It seems to symbolise the ageing days of a condemned administration – not the kind of image you want to give off when you stand accused of being just that! Secondly, the image adds nothing to the message. It is a wasted image. The picture is what people will see first – before the writing – and so it needs to draw people in. It doesn’t. It would be much better to use an image that can back up one of the pledges. Here’s something I knocked up:
Now before I get slated for a sloppy effort, I should say I spent no more than half an hour on this, and it only took that long because I was working in GIMP, which is an image editor and little more. It isn’t designed for content creation, which is what I was really doing here. I would normally use CorelDraw for this sort of effort, but I don’t have it at home, sadly. Anyway, The Labour logo is now in red – corporate colours (and by the way, Labour Party people, your available logos for people to use in publicity through your website is absolutely abysmal and had got progressively worse over the last few years) – with a very simple mask to make it easy to see amongst the background.
On the right are the pledges – slightly modified, if you look closely. For example, “securing the recovery” has always sounded very awkward, why not refer to “strong economic recovery”? It sums up the aim in a much more positive light. Why only raise family living standards? I am a single man, and I’ve just been alienated there. Talk of general living standards, and of families within that.
The last pledge did say “strengthen fairness in communities”. Now I know Gordon Brown is a fan of this fairness, but actually, if you strengthen communities, they should be fairer too. And besides, how do you define “fairness”?

I realise this review has been a while in coming. For once, it’s not because I haven’t got round to it, or because I forgot to publish. It’s because there’s very little of note to say.
On the face of it, the race was set to be a cracker. Four top teams slugging it out, a returning 7-time world champion, Britain v. Germany, Alonso v. Hamilton and the rest of it. In truth, the biggest excitement was watching Nico Hulkenberg pass a much slower Jarno Trulli after recovering from an early spin.
The race was, in fact, so dull that I fell asleep with 10 laps to go. Bahrain’s new layout is uninspiring and cars seem unable to follow one another in close quarters. Why? Out come the usual theories of aerodynamic grip and wings, but maybe, just maybe, such views are misplaced. More on that another time, but in the meantime, let’s hope Australia is better. After all, it’s hard to stay awake for that race for the time difference alone!

Almost everyone knows someone who has been mugged at some point. I can think of a number of people I know who have been mugged in the last couple of years. It’s a crime I would like to see less of – not that there are any I would like to see more, of course!
However, staging mock muggings is not the way to do it. Have you heard such a ludicrous idea of late? The rationale goes like this: people are unwilling to interfere in muggings because they either don’t care, don’t have the confidence to take a mugger on, don’t want to get hurt or are just plain British and assume it’s not their business to interfere. Thus, staged muggings could be, err, “performed(?)”, and the public’s reaction gauged. Right?
Hmm. Strange concept. I mean, what’s going to happen when no-one interferes? Will a good ol’ copper come out and lecture everyone about how they should have wrestled the mugger to the ground in a citizen’s arrest? Or how they could have taken a photograph or video for evidence (or, more likely to put up on YouTube a “happy-slap” viral)?
It’s just not going to work. People will take no notice. Why? Because next time, they’ll just think, “oh, it’s just some staged performance”. So they won’t interfere. The same goes for anyone who would have interefered – they’ll just think, “last time was all for nothing. It wasn’t even a proper mugging. I won’t bother this time.”
And you know what else? It’s the perfect excuse for any would-be mugger.
This ludicrous proposal was put forward by the charity Witness Confident. The charity launches today. I am more than happy to provide P.R. consultancy for the going rates (that’ll be daylight robbery, ahem!)

The Formula 1 circus hits China this weekend, for the fourth round of the 2010 F1 season. So far, we’ve had three winners, but that doesn’t tell the story of the season. Indeed, we have had three different teams win, but again, that is not an accurate reflection of the way things will pan out over the course of the season.
Quite frankly, Sebastien Vettel should have won all three races. He led all three. Had mechanical trouble not afflicted him, he would have likely won them all. In Bahrain, an exhaust problem slowed him down. In Australia, something broke – I’m not sure if they ever agreed exactly what broke. However, in Malaysia all went to plan, and he won. Comfortably. Mark Webber was no match for Vettel.
There is little reason to suggest things will be different in China, where Vettel won last year. He is a driver of incredible speed, and has great maturity for his age. He is much more level-headed than Lewis Hamilton. Psychologically, he has few chinks in his armour. Put together with the fastest car on the grid, he has to be favourite at just about every Grand Prix this season. Ferrari and McLaren are both fast – as is Mercedes – but they aren’t quite fast enough. Kubica and Sutil have been the two fastest drivers outside of the top 4 teams so far this year, followed by Barrichello, so there is an interesting battle brewing between Renault, Force India and Williams. So, here are my top three for China:
- Sebastien Vettel (yes, again);
- Mark Webber;
- Fernando Alonso.
I struggle to see, all things going to plan, that the top three could be any different. Let’s see what happens…
ferty. Unfortunately for him, he poked the ball in his own net within five minutes, and then Lee McCulloch did the same ten minutes later. The crowd, which was subdued when the first goal went in, was stunned into pin-drop silence. At 2-1, you could have heard the players breathing in the centre circle. At 3-1, the stunned silence was replaced first by approximately 10% of the Rangers supporters making their way to the exit, and then by those left in the stands openly booing the players loudly for some considerable time. By the dugouts, the atmosphere was openly mutinous.
At 4-1… I don’t really remember that bit. I suspect all eyes were still on the dugout. Soon after, the stadium was little over half full. No-one could quite believe the ‘Gers were losing, let alone losing so badly.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like anything will change soon. The club are £30 million in debt and have no money to buy new players. They are struggling to hold on to the players they have already. At the weekend, they drew with Hibs. Earlier in the season, they player out three 0-0 draws in a row. There doesn’t seem to be much light at the end of the tunnel. How can Rangers turn around? Is it even possible, or are they finally paying the hard price of playing in a league that doesn’t provide them with enough of the competition that it required on the European stage? And, regardless of the European stage, why are they struggling so much against Scottish teams?
The current instability at board level can’t be helping, but it also can’t be the whole story.

However, with the Monaco Grand Prix this week, you can now sit down to the treat of a dual review and preview.
Firstly, let’s look back to the Spanish Grand Prix. If I had previewed the Grand Prix, I would have picked like this:
- Vettel;
- Webber;
- Hamilton.
And that would have looked great with 10 laps to go! Even with 2 laps to go, it wasn’t too bad. Let’s be honest, Barcelona suits the Red Bull car down to the ground. Turns 3 and 9 are perfectly set up for Adrian Newey’s masterpiece to shine. So, on paper, the race had a Red Bull 1-2 written all over it. At the same time, the McLaren has been good in race trim this year and if Hamilton could show good pace in qualifying, he had definitely shown the race pace required to grab a podium finish.
As the weekend went on, so it turned out. The Red Bull was dictatorially impressive in qualifying, destroying the opposition. Webber shaded Vettel – just – and in doing so asserted that he can be just as quick as his highly rated team-mate.
Come race day, Hamilton made a good start but couldn’t quite jam a move down the inside into turn one. Webber held off Vettel to hold his place at the front, which, in the Spanish Grand Prix, is as good as winning the race, mechanical problems aside. Indeed, the previous nine Spanish Grand Prix had been won by the pole sitter. Still, Vettel was on his tail and could potentially jump him in a pit stop.
Unfortunately for Vettel, his pit stop wasn’t a smooth one and he instead fell back into the clutches of Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton himself had a problem in his pit stop with a wheel nut, but the team reacted quickly as there had been a similar problem with team-mate Jenson Button’s stop, and so they were prepared. I the meantime, Fernando Alonso kept his head down in fourth, and Schumacher – who scared his way past Jenson Button as Button came out of the pits – made his car wider than the M25 to stay ahead of Button in fifth, circling at a speed that at times felt closer to that of the M25 too. From this point on, it looked like the race was over. Webber led Vettel by about fifteen seconds, who was ahead of Hamilton, who was ahead of Alonso. Schumacher then led Button and Massa, neither of whom looked like passing the car in front.
This all changed with just under ten laps to go, braking in to turn ten, Vettel’s car looked fragile, and memories of Australia flooded back. The producer cut to a replay of Vettel bounding across the gravel at turn seven, and you realised something was up. Vettel pitted for new tyres but was quickly told his brakes were about to go. Consequently, he had to coast to the end of the race, hoping he could hang on to fourth ahead of Schumacher and somehow manage to stop his car at every corner. Webber must have allowed himself a wry smile, as must Alonso, who was now in a podium position in his home Grand Prix.
If he had a wry smile then, he must have had an ever bigger smile as he passed through turn three on the penultimate lap. Seconds before, Lewis Hamilton watched in horror as his left front wheel rim popped, sending his wheel nut flying in the air, causing his tyres to de-laminate at 150 miles an hour and sending him straight in to the wall. The second place he had inherited was gone,gladly taken by Alonso, and marked the fourth time in Lewis’ three and a bit year career that a tyre has exploded, causing him to go off track. Vettel, meanwhile, was counting his stars as it meant he could salvage a podium, and fourth for Schumacher gave him his best finish since his return in Bahrain.
So what did Spain tell us? It told us that the Red Bull is still far and away the quickest car in Formula 1 – especially in high speed corners, like turn three at Barcelona. It showed us that the McLaren is the next best, followed by the Ferrari, which has fallen back a little, with the Mercedes still fourth quickest. Michael Schumacher seems much happier with the car now, which is good, but Rosberg had a poor weekend and will be looking to put that right in Monaco, although he doesn’t have a great track record in the Principality. Which leads us nicely on to the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend…
Having seen the utter Red Bull domination in Spain, many people will be despairing, thinking they will wipe the floor again in Monte Carlo. They may, but there are three reasons why I don’t think they will, or there is at least a good chance they won’t:
- The Spanish Grand Prix is held at a track that perfectly shows up the Red Bull’s strengths – Monaco foes not have the high speed corners the Red Bull loves so much;
- McLaren have a very good history at Monte Carlo, winning 15 times – they build cars that run well in Monaco;
- Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button both love Monaco – Hamilton is great on street style tracks, Button is very smooth, tidy and won in Monaco with a convincing drive last year.
This, of course, doesn’t mean McLaren will walk it, but I fully expect them to be up there. So, he is my prediction for Monaco:
- Lewis Hamilton;
- Sebastian Vettel;
- Jenson Button.
I don’t expect the Ferrari to shine, nor the Mercedes. Watch out for Robert Kubica – if he can keep his nose clean, he may be able pick up some more very useful points. But more importantly, think back to the last time there were twenty-four cars on the grid at Monaco? What, you don’t remember? OK, I’ll save you F1 newbies the bother of looking it up, and instead extract the memory from my brain for you. It was 1995. There were, in fact, not twenty-four cars but twenty-six. Indeed, the 1995 Monaco Grand Prix was the last Grand Prix to feature twenty-six cars as the Simtek-Ford team dissolved very soon after. (Pedant alert: technically, only twenty-five cars took the “start” – neither Simtek took the official start)
Anyway, going in to the first corner, Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger made a Ferrari sandwich out of David Coulthard, bringing out the red flag. It’s not the only time the start has caused problems, and I wonder, will we see it again this year? We shall see…
And before I leave you, I shall leave you with a little trivia, and a video. Want to know why one car didn’t make the restart in 1995? I’ll tell you. Well, see, there was this Italian driver called Domenico Schiattarella (he wasn’t very good – you’ll see if you read on!), who needed his car moving. So, the stewards attached it to a recovery crane and lifted it up in the air. And then they…well, they smashed it to pieces. It fell off. The dropped it. To be honest, if you’d ever seen him race, you could be forgiven for thinking they might have done it on purpose, and thanks to the marvel that it Youtube, I can show you why. Take a look!
See what I mean? His surname almost gave the game away, and if that didn’t, the video really did!

Whilst most of the football world focused their attention last weekend on the FA Cup final at Wembley between Portsmouth and Chelsea, the focus north of the border in Scotland was very much on the Active Nation Scottish Cup Final between Ross County and Dundee United – and Noelinho couldn’t resist but go along to Hampden and see the game out.
Ross County had never before got past the last sixteen in the Scottish Cup, let alone made the final or won it. However, en route to the final this year, they put out first Hibernian, and then Celtic. Not bad for a first division team! Dundee United, meanwhile, went into the tie as firm favourites, having beaten Rangers in a replay in the quarter finals, before comfortably putting away Raith Rovers in the semi finals. Everyone knew County were capable of producing an upset, though few really expected it. That said, many neutrals – including myself – were hoping for a Ross County win, and the club sold over 18,000 tickets for the match, although quite how many of them were closet Inverness Caledonian Thistle fans hoping to watch County get pummelled isn’t quite so well known…
It was great to see so many people packed into Hampden Park for the match, especially considering the lack of any Old Firm in the match. In some ways, it added to the anticipation – the Highlanders hugely excited by the occasion, the Dundee United fans anticipating their first Scottish Cup win in sixteen years.
The match, when it finally started after the formalities of introductions and fireworks, was a little cagey. Ross County did look a little unsettled by the occasion and struggled to string many passes together. The crowd were in good voice as they watched Dundee United controlling possession, looking comfortable, but without producing much in the way of end product. A few marginal decisions seemed to go United’s way, but there was no real controversy. As the first half came to a close, United upped the quality, winning a couple of free kicks and corners, but the end product was tame. At half time, both teams would have been please – Ross County, at 0-0, were still in the game, and Dundee United, although not leading, hadn’t been troubled.
The second half started in a similar vein. Dundee United looked comfortable and Ross County looked to be struggling for composure and inspiration. However, around the hour mark, they found more confidence, especially on the counter attack, with a couple of good runs, getting in to the United box. Unfortunately, this also became their undoing, as they were then caught a little on the hop by the Arabs. After a panic from Michael McGovern in the Ross County goal, United’s David Goodwillie ended up with the ball and lobbed it over the head of the stranded goalkeeper and defenders chasing back.
Once United had their noses in front, it was always going to be an uphill battle for the Highlanders. It was always going to be the killer blow. As they desperately tried to find an equaliser, Dundee United punished them in clinical fashion. Craig Conway – who was, in the end, the Man of the Match – had caused the Ross County defence problems all day with his speed, and as the weary County legs faded, he punished them twice, scoring a late brace and making it a 3-0 victory to Dundee United.
In the end, it was a fair enough scoreline. It wasn’t the best game of football you’ll ever see, but it wasn’t bad either.* County certainly didn’t disgrace themselves and their supporters gave them a warm reception at the end of the match. All eyes will be on Ross County next season to see if they can make the jump to the SPL, and if they do, hopefully in a more successful manner than Livingston and Gretna…
* A little comment on the quality of football matches. So many people complain about the poor quality of football matches today! How often have you heard people moaning about a match that was boring, scrappy, or, “the worst I’ve ever seen”? A tip to those people: stop watching teams like Arsenal and Barcelona. You are clearly spoilt by watching those teams, and your expectations from matches are too high. Real football matches are rarely like watching Barcelona and Arsenal, as any fan who stands in the terraces – or, heaven forbid, sits in a poxy little covered seat in the main stand – will testify!
y, be entitled to their moment in the spotlight to be scrutinised.
Let them have it. Let them lay their platform down. Then see how long they last.

Don’t Clegg and Cameron look the happy couple? Who would have realised that only weeks ago, these two men were political enemies? It’s enough to make you weep. And swear. And throw things at the screen. But anyway, that’s besides the point. The point is, they have brought with them the “new” politics – and what a load of old codswallop it is.
When David cameron and Nick Clegg talked of the new politics, they talked about reducing the size of the state, of giving power back to people, or creating, in Cameron’s terms, the “Big Society”. So, as I understand it, they were keen to decentralise power away from the state and into other people’s hands.
Err, except they haven’t. All this talk of constitutional reform is garbage. It does nothing to do this. Every measure is actually entrenching power rather than loosening grip. Funny how things change when you win power, isn’t it? So anyway, here are the measures, in brief, with the explanations to follow:
- Instituting a referendum on AV for the House of Commons;
- Appointing peers to the Lords to reflect the vote at the last General Election;
- Changing the law so that a motion to dissolve Parliament needs 55% to win, rather than a simple majority;
- Introducing fixed term Parliaments;
- Changing the rules of the Conservatives’ 1922 Committee so that frontbenchers get a vote;
- Allowing Government parties access to Short money.
So let’s just take a closer look at those…
Referendum on AV
AV stands for Alternative Vote. It’s worth noting that neither the Conservatives nor the Liberal Democrats were in favour of this system during the General Election campaign. It is not a proportional system (not that I care – I don’t believe in PR as a form of effective government, but that’s another matter right now), and so it’s not really what the Liberal Democrats want. In fact, a crude version of AV (ie. not AV+) would produce only a very modest change in the outcome of most elections, but still, that’s what Nick Clegg and David Cameron are going to give us a referendum on. Even better, the Conservative Party will campaign against it! Well, isn’t it good to know that our Prime Minister is going to give us a vote on electoral reform, whilst at the same time telling us to stick it?
Lords Reform
We’ve not really heard much about reform of the House of Lords. It doesn’t seem to be a huge priority on that basis, but what we have been told is that the coalition government plan on appointing a number of Lords so that the make-up of the second chamber is reflective of the proportion of the vote at the General Election just gone. Now, if you remember, Gordon Brown as the outgoing Primer Minister is allowed to appoint a number himself, and Labour already have more Lords than any other party. Thus, the coalition government will have to appoint over a hundred Lords in order to do this. I thought we were wanting to elect them these days (again, I’m not so worried about that, but anyhow…)? Furthermore, appointing the House in this way is actually a clouded attempt at gerrymandering to get legislation through the second chamber. People will only be appointed on the basis that they will support legislation. You may as well just abolish the chamber if you’re going to abuse it like that!
Dissolving Parliament and Fixed Term Parliaments
Clever stuff, this. A vote of no confidence can pass with a simple majority, but a motion to dissolve Parliament would only pass with a vote with a 55% – 45% majority. Why is this important? Oh, it just so happens that this minor change means that the Conservative Party could rule as a minority government, and as long as they all stick together, can’t be booted out by a vote of no confidence, even though the other parties could block every piece of legislation they bring to the House. Oh, and because we have a fixed term Parliament, we’re stuck with a lame duck Government. Great. More gerrymandering.
1922 Committee
The 1922 Committee is a Conservative backbench committee. See that important word? Oh, no, not “committee”, but “backbench”. Currently, those on the frontbench can’t votein the 1922 Committee. David Cameron wants to change the rules so that the frontbench can vote. It just so happens that such a move would increase his power over the committee…
Short Money
The Government always has an advantage over the opposition, since it has almost unlimited resources for research and policy-making through the very fact that it is the Government. When you’re in opposition, it’s much harder to undertake the same reasearch because you have less money and manpower. Short money goes to the opposition to redress the balance somewhat. Only thing is, the Liberal Democrats, despite being in coalition government with the Tories, have decided they should get some. Err, right. That, I believe, is theft. Except they know that, so they want to change the rules so they are allowed to. Hmm.
So anyway, let’s recap how this goes. The Liberal Democrats and the Tories, in their coalition Government, will:
- Give power to the voters! Referendum on AV! Give voters a bigger say – but we’ll campaign against it, because we don’t actually want it!
- Reform the House of Lords! Give the second chamber credibility – by appointing party loyalists who will vote our legislation through! We won’t bother to elect them!
- Give more power to Parliament! Except we’ll remove the power to dissolve Parliament so we can cling on to power like Communists clinging on to the last bricks of the Berlin Wall!
- Take power away from the Prime Minister! No more second-guessing election dates! But it means I can stick it out for five years, whatever happens, however much you hate me!
- Crush the backbenchers! Pesky, noisy twerps!
- Steal money from the opposition! We need it for ourselves!
Is it just me, or was the Old Politics better? No wonder they were laughing so much in the press conference. It’s clearly easier to be a Liberal outside of Government. Now, it’s all about how much power they can cling on to.

Since I am away in Oslo this weekend, I shall get my Grand Prix preview out of the way nice and early. The season is hotting up nicely, though it is also looking ominous for anyone not driving a Red Bull. So far this season, Red Bull have taken pole position in all six races (three voles each for Vettel and Webber), have taken the fastest lap in three races (two to one in Webber’s favour) and have won three races too (also two to one in Webber’s favour). Although neither driver has taken the hat-trick of pole, fastest lap and race win in the same race, the team have taken the hat-trick twice, including at the last race in Monaco, and Mark Webber has won both the last two races – Spain and Monaco – which happen to represent the most diametrically opposed circuit types on the Formula One circuit. So, if you’re not in a Red Bull, the message is clear – pray it breaks down.
Turkey is a track that will suit the Red Bull car down to the ground. The now-famous turn eight – with four apexes at high speed – is a dream if your happen to have a car loaded with downforce, which the Red Bull certainly is! Barring any problems, I would fully expect the Red Bull car to win again. Behind them, it’s a race between Ferrari and McLaren. Lewis Hamilton relishes a track like Turkey, and Jenson Button won here last year. It will be interesting to see whether McLaren or Ferrari have the upper hand this weekend – I suspect Alonso will edge the McLarens, who will both edge Massa.
All eyes will also be on the Mercedes. Nico Rosberg hasn’t been quite the force he was early on in the last couple of races, but Schumacher has looked much more comfortable. He caught Button napping in Spain and Alonso in Monaco – though cruelly punished – and so will be looking for better finishes from here. However, without some new, serious upgrades, both Rosberg and Schumacher will struggle to break in to the top five.
Amongst the rest of the field, watch out for Adrian Sutil, who was handy in Spain, along with Robert Kubica, who has been fantastic all season so far. Rubens Barrichello is far to discount too, and also keep an eye on Kobayashi – if the BMW-Sauber sets up well, he may, with a slice of luck too, manage to scrape a point. Maybe. He’s more likely to fall just outside though.
So, without further ado, here is my top three for Turkey:
- Mark Webber;
- Sebastien Vettel;
- Fernando Alonso.
You may be surprised by the top two, but Webber beat Vettel in Turkey last year, finishing second. He’s also won the last two races and seems to have a small psychological advantage over his team-mate. He’s also nailed back-to-back victories and is leading the Drivers’ Championship. I doubt it will bother him – he’s having the time of his life right now and is brimming with confidence. I hope he keeps it up!
So, if Webber will win, second place is obvious, assuming Vettel finishes. He’ll have a new chassis, which may help. Finally, Alonso in third. Hamilton and Button will be his nearest rivals, but I think he’ll pull it off.
Last time out: Don’t go there. My picks were a disaster. I got one pick right (Vettel, in the correct position too, actually). My McLaren gamble didn’t really work. C’est la vie.
p>Thirdly, why on earth is there a big blue bar going across the website, which, when selected, turns all the words yellow? #FAIL! I see blue, I think of Tories. I see yellow, I think of Lib Dems. I see a bolder yellow, I think of the SNP. The blue shouldn’t be blue, it should be red. And the yellow – well, it’s not so much an issue then, actually. But you don’t go scoring own goals like that. Whoever is in charge of the web team at Labour HQ needs to raise their game and think of brand image a little more.
That said, whoever was in charge of the pledge card should be in even more trouble. have you seen it?
What, at first look, does that look like? OK, forget whether it’s a sunrise or a sunset, what does it look like past that? Does it remind you of old Corn Flakes adverts? or Muesli boxes? I half-expect to see a rooster with a bowl of breakfast cereal, with skimmed milk pouring down the screen – and then there’s the logo on the right, at the top. See what I mean about the railway bridge? It looks strange, adding nothing to the message. Some people will also say that the writing is hard to read, which it is on a screen, but in print, it won’t pose a problem.
There are two main problems with the background image. Firstly, it’s not a great image. It is full of glare and looks like it was taken by an amateur. It is doubtless a stock photo from a website specialising in those kinds of photos, but there is no vibrancy to the colour, no clarity. It looks a little washed out, tired even. It seems to symbolise the ageing days of a condemned administration – not the kind of image you want to give off when you stand accused of being just that! Secondly, the image adds nothing to the message. It is a wasted image. The picture is what people will see first – before the writing – and so it needs to draw people in. It doesn’t. It would be much better to use an image that can back up one of the pledges. Here’s something I knocked up:
Now before I get slated for a sloppy effort, I should say I spent no more than half an hour on this, and it only took that long because I was working in GIMP, which is an image editor and little more. It isn’t designed for content creation, which is what I was really doing here. I would normally use CorelDraw for this sort of effort, but I don’t have it at home, sadly. Anyway, The Labour logo is now in red – corporate colours (and by the way, Labour Party people, your available logos for people to use in publicity through your website is absolutely abysmal and had got progressively worse over the last few years) – with a very simple mask to make it easy to see amongst the background.
On the right are the pledges – slightly modified, if you look closely. For example, “securing the recovery” has always sounded very awkward, why not refer to “strong economic recovery”? It sums up the aim in a much more positive light. Why only raise family living standards? I am a single man, and I’ve just been alienated there. Talk of general living standards, and of families within that.
The last pledge did say “strengthen fairness in communities”. Now I know Gordon Brown is a fan of this fairness, but actually, if you strengthen communities, they should be fairer too. And besides, how do you define “fairness”? It’s a throwaway term. Useless. For every one way you show fairness to have improved, you’ll find then people to show you where it got worse, but it is easy to show that you have strengthened communities, as long as you have.
Now look at the background. I’ll grant you, it’s not the best, but I’ve actually nicked it from other Labour Party material. It’s the best I could find in limited time. It’s a man, and he’s working. Thus, it links in with economic recovery, but also, potentially, with the high tech economy. It would be great to see a pledge card engaging with the high tech economy pledge. I have, as you can see, taken out the “future fair for all” logo. It had no value.
So there you go, a (not so quick) run-down of Labour’s p + ,

Oh, go on, admit it – you’re secretly jealous. A tiny bit at the very least. For all the ridicule and scorn from people when I said I was going to Eurovision, a surprising number of people then admitted watching the contest, even if the excuse was “I want to see you on telly”. Well, actually, I do believe I was on TV – albeit it Spain and Germany, rather than Britain.
I actually have no idea where to start, to be honest, as there is so much I could say. I will leave general pictures observations about Oslo and Norway (of which I have plenty) for another day and simply stick with Eurovision for now.
Oslo itself was well decked out for the event. Trams, buses and billboards were full of adverts for the event, there was a Eurovision Village and also a Euro Cafe! I managed to befriend a Swedish woman who reeled off Eurovision statistics at a rate of knots that even I was struggling to keep up with. It was also bathed in glorious sunshine for most of the weekend, aside from a little thunder on Saturday morning. Transport to and from the event was fantastic. But anyway, the contest itself…
Firstly, congratulations to Lena, the German entrant, who was both my tip and personal favourite to win. I was sat directly behind a couple of Germans who were going wild as the points flew in. In fact, it was a little too extravagant at one point! At the other end of the scale, the United Kingdom finished bottom. It didn’t dampen too many British spirits on the night, although the next morning was worse, compounded by a bunch of Aussies rubbing it in…
Josh didn’t sound awful in the Telenor Arena, but he certainly didn’t sound great either. I met a British man on the way to the bus back to Oslo who said he’d received a message from someone watching in the UK saying the end of Josh’s song was “worse than Scooch”. I thought that was perhaps a little strong, but having watched the BBC’s TV coverage this evening, it really was terrible. It is easy to see why it came last. In fact, it’s rather more surprising we got ten points for it, although admittedly some did come from Ireland, who are usually quite nice to us anyway.
As you may have seen from the picture above, I managed to get a few shots of the artists as they arrived on the Sunday night. I wedged myself between Dutch, Spanish and German TV. I searched around for British TV, but they were nowhere to be seen. I stuck my head in on a bunch of German fans singing a rendition of Lena’s “Satellite” for a pre-record for German television. We were all waiting for our fellow entries, and Lena, who was definitely the fans’ favourite. Sadly she was rather late arriving, and so I missed her, but those of us who wedged ourselves between the media saw a number of people, including the a couple of the Norwegian Royal Family, the Spanish, French, British, Icelandic and Moldovan entrants, some of whom stopped for a quick chat. A couple even gave away free CDs and even a couple of books, though sadly I didn’t manage to pilfer one for myself. The TV crews were good banter too, although the Germans did ask what I thought of the British entry. Thankfully, they didn’t record the response…
The atmosphere in and around the arena was fantastic. There were plenty of fans from almost every country, including some of the losing semi-finalists, like Sweden. Oh, and like I previously mentioned, some Aussies too! I spotted Canadians and Americans dropping by as well – for whatever reason they wanted to turn up for! The warm-up started about forty-five minutes before the show went live, with a little practice for the interval dance flashmob,which everyone quite enjoyed.*
Last year’s winner, Alexander Rybak, got a fantastic cheer when he came on to perform his song, after which the show really began. I have to say, I did love the entry from Azerbaijan. It started the show off fantastically well. Spain then followed, with a mini pitch invasion. Actually, in the stadium, a lot of people didn’t notice Jimmy Jump invading the stage, and he did fit in rather well – although on TV, it was pretty obvious.
The Norwegian entry sent the crowd wild, as you would expect. In fact, they went pretty wild for Iceland and Denmark too, who both had very good entries as well. The Moldovan entry was good for dancing to, but after that, it died down a little until Ireland came on. Ireland’s entrant, Niamh Kavanagh, has actually won the contest before, and I very much enjoyed her song, but it wasn’t so popular across Europe. Greece were next up. with a catchy track, though they may not be disappointed not to have won considering the country is mortgaged to the rafters and may collapse under the cost of holding the show!
I will ignore the United Kingdom’s dismal entry, and instead mention the French track – also their official World Cup song – which set the room alight. I did love it, although it being French, I could obviously never vote for it! This was followed by a solid piano-assisted effort from Romania. The Russians then came on, and, whilst the track itself was popular, Russia itself bombed, with a sound boo resonating at every mention of the country’s name. The crowd soon forgot, as Lena appeared and the whole place went nuts. Denmark rounded off the twenty-five with a well received song, followed by a repeat of the previously-interrupted Spanish entry, which was, well, weird, wasn’t it?
As voting closed, it seemed the mood of the Norwegians nearby was with Denmark and Germany, though many like Azerbaijan’s entry too. As the votes started to come in, it l0oked like we might have a visit to Copenhagen in store for next year, but as it progressed, Germany became odds-on favourites. They were, if you ask me (and tough if you don’t), worthy winners, though Denmark would have been great winners too! I was rather surprised Norway and Ireland didn’t do better too.
So, who’s coming with me to, most likely, Berlin next year?
*Now you won’t know this, but I have studied the video of the contest carefully, and so I can tell you this is true. At the start of the flashmob dance, you will see Norwegian security pushing a guy aside from the picture. A few seconds later, the professional dancers start, and you can see a member of Norwegian security mistakenly trying to stop one of the dancers. She, in fact, is the person in charge of the dance routine. FACT. Amazing that II know that , +

I am beginning to sense a pattern in this year’s races. I make a prediction. The prediction is, on the whole, bang on the money. Then, with about a third of the race left to go, it falls apart. Mark Webber, Sebastian Vettel, I’m looking squarely at you.
If you care to look at my predictions for Turkey, you’ll see I had Webber to win, followed by Vettel. Okay, so I had Alonso third, which didn;t exactly go to plan, but I had the McLarens right behind. Pretty on the money. Except Vettel decided to turn in on Mark Webber, taking himself out of the race and dropping Mark down to third at the same time.
For the record, it was Vettel’s fault. No shadow of a doubt. It completely wrecked my picks. Anyway, we now travel to North America, with a return to the Canadian Grand Prix, one of my personal favourites! In 2008, Kubica won the race, although he was rather helped by Hamilton running in to the back of an obviously red Ferrari.In 2007, Robert Kubica went for a mid-afternoon barrel roll. In 1997, the race ended under a red flag as Olivier Panis smashed both legs in a nasty accident. The Canadian Grand Prix rarely disappoints.
The circuit itself is hard on brakes. The long back straight past the hairpin leads on to the final chicane, Champions’ Wall, which is followed by the home straight and another hard braking area. There are about half a dozen heavy braking areas, so if anyone is marginal on brakes, they can expect to become acquainted with the wall at some stage. The chances of a safety car are high, and there are always high-profile casualties in the race. The pit lane has caused angst on many occasions, with Felipe Massa and Giancarlo Fisichella disqualified in 2007 for driving through a red light in the pit lane.
There are no high speed corners in Montreal, so the Red Bull car may struggle to gain much of an advantage over the other cars. Expect McLaren to be strong. Expect Mercedes to be a little quicker as they make use of their strong engine on the straights. Expect Force India to do the same. Don’t expect much from Ferrari though. Anyway, for what it’s worth, here are my top three for Canada:
- Lewis Hamilton;
- Jenson Button;
- Sebastian Vettel.
I do expect Lewis Hamilton to win. He likes circuits like this. He took his maiden Grand Prix win in Canada. I fully expect him to edge Jenson, who will, I suspect, be fighting to keep Vettel behind him. We’ll see how accurate those predictions are soon…oh, and don’t forget, the action is late afternoon, since it’s coming from North America!
ped apart at the teeth of hounds. Will you join us in fighting this barbarity?”. Now I should say, the statement is correct. My response is “no”. But the point is this: Labour are basically saying, on their website, “we might lose”. It is a negative statement, instigated from a negative mindset. It contributes to a mindset that says Labour will lose, best to operate an opposition mindset. This is not the right way of doing things. Instead, Labour, as the governing party, should use that initiative. Turn it on the Tories. It should say, “The Tories want to legislate to allow hounds to rip foxes apart. Help us to fight this barbarity”. This asserts power in a way an opposition mindset isn’t able to do.
Thirdly, why on earth is there a big blue bar going across the website, which, when selected, turns all the words yellow? #FAIL! I see blue, I think of Tories. I see yellow, I think of Lib Dems. I see a bolder yellow, I think of the SNP. The blue shouldn’t be blue, it should be red. And the yellow – well, it’s not so much an issue then, actually. But you don’t go scoring own goals like that.

So there you go, a (not so quick) run-down of Labour’s p .
We are approaching half way through the year. You deserve an update on my New Year’s Resolutions. So, here goes:
I will read my Bible every day
Could do better. I’ll nail it one day. It’s hard. Requires setting aside time and ring-fencing it, rather than letting other things encroach upon that time. Rather a case of peaks and troughs at the moment though.
I will vote for [deleted - secret ballot and all that] in the General Election
Done. Obviously, there is no way I could ever tell you who I voted for. Secret ballot, natch.
I will learn a new language
This is on course. I have a Norwegian newspaper. I’m pretty sure I’m settled on that language. Need to brush up on my French, German and Italian too though.
I will read at least 20 books
Hmm. Optimistic. I have started a few now though, and one of them is Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology, which, if you ask me, should count as a few books in itself. There’s no way you could read that twenty times in a year!
I will post on my website more
Getting there. I’ve even redesigned it. Hope you like it. Apologies to IE 6/7 users – blame Microsoft for your poorer user experience. Upgrade to IE 8 for a better one, or use Firefox, Safari or Chrome for the definitive product.
I will set a personal best in a 10k race
I may struggle to find the time to enter a race. I would love to, but I missed a series of three races I had been planning to enter as I had no time. Wait and see.
I will try out a new sport
Tried out for a new American Football team. Had to give up because it was exhausting me as I was so short of time. Still planning on trying curling. On the lookout for other possibilities though!
I will pass my driving test
Really. Must. Enact. Action. URGENTLY.
I will explore new territory on my racing bike
Work in progress. I’ve hit some high speeds too. Just ask the Pastor – 45mph with the brakes on; you should see what I did when he wasn’t following me!
I will be as witty, dark and cutting as ever
A matter of personal taste, but of course I am. Just because you have no sense of humour…

d81qE@ZU.xqHC & pkDoK0 bJ& ngre I go to publish, a Labour Pledge spoof website has been launched! Have fun!
Think I’m the only one thinking this? Check out Beau Bo D’Or, who has it right on the money!
ith the website. To be honest, the Labour Party always seem to be updating their website, but it never seems to get very much better. With the latest refresh, they have at least got their message and logo right at the top, with a Labour logo and the “future fair for all” banner, along with a logo to go with it. There are two problems with the “future fair for all” banner though. Firstly, the “future fair for all” logo looks, in some versions, like a railway bridge. On the main website, it looks like a setting sun. You know, as in, a sunset. OK, so some people may say it’s meant to be a sunrise, but still, did no-one in the Labour Party see the massive own goal they’re letting themselves in for there?
Three more things on the website. Firstly, the actual slogan, “a future fair for all”. I don’t like it, and I’ll tell you why. It’s not directional. It’s ideational. It’s not practical. It’s ideological – to an extent – but it doesn’t go beyond saying “wouldn’t it be nice if the world was fairer”. It would carry more impact with a subtle change to something like “building a fairer future for all”, as that carries the idea that it is something that requires action to achieve. It gives an impression of purpose and direction. It’s more promising and positive, rather than wishful, which is more how “a future fair for all” comes across.
Secondly, there is a section entitled “Back the Ban”. For most Labour-minded people, backing the ban on fox hunting with hounds is like having a shower when you get up. Decent people do it. Personally, I couldn’t care less about a pesky fox that tears apart farmers’ chickens, and would gladly carry out the equivalent of a Canadian seal hunt given the chance. Still, that’s for another day. The point is, on the website – the Labour Party website – it says, “the next parliament may see legislation introduced which specifically allows foxes to be ripped apart at the teeth of hounds. Will you join us in fighting this barbarity?”. Now I should say, the statement is correct. My response is “no”. But the point is this: Labour are basically saying, on their website, “we might lose”. It is a negative statement, instigated from a negative mindset. It contributes to a mindset that says Labour will lose, best to operate an opposition mindset. This is not the right way of doing things. Instead, Labour, as the governing party, should use that initiative. Turn it on the Tories. It should say, “The Tories want to legislate to allow hounds to rip foxes apart. Help us to fight this barbarity”. This asserts power in a way an opposition mindset isn’t able to do.
Thirdly, why on earth is there a big blue bar going across the website, which, when selected, turns all the words yellow? #FAIL! I see blue, I think of Tories. I see yellow, I think of Lib Dems. I see a bolder yellow, I think of the SNP. The blue shouldn’t be blue, it should be red. And the yellow – well, it’s not so much an issue then, actually. But you don’t go scoring own goals like that.

We have recently had a new content filter system installed on the servers at work. As with all things, you get a few problems early on. Some things are good, like being able to now read the BBC Blogs; other effects aren’t so good, like the system accidentally blocking the whole of the rest of the BBC site. Anyway, once those things are ironed out, it’s fine.
The new system uses active filtering through each page that is loaded and blocks a page if it detects inappropriate content. I’m not sure exactly what counts as inappropriate and I don’t really plan on testing it to the limit (although it is always worth exploring to make sure it is correctly set up). It does, very helpfully, give you an explanation of why a page is blocked when it is blocked. Unfortunately, it looks like this:
I don’t know about you, but don’t you think that’s a little… ironic? The page content is blocked because there is – shock! – a swear word on the page, so when telling you why the page is blocked, it spews out the word in question, but not the rest of the content. Oh yes. Big. Fat. Fail. Although you have to admit, it is pretty funny, even if I did nearly choke on my lunch at the time.
It does beg the question, though – if it detects, shall we say, “raunchier” behaviour, does it do the same? Let’s hope not, eh?

Of course, that year passed quite some time ago, and I have decided I’ve had enough of sticking to that, so here are a few resolutions for 2010:
- I will read my Bible every day;
- I will vote for [deleted - secret ballot and all that] in the General Election;
- I will learn a new language;
- I will read at least 20 books;
- I will post on my website more;
- I will set a personal best in a 10k race;
- I will try out a new sport;
- I will pass my driving test;
- I will explore new territory on my racing bike;
- I will be as witty, dark and cutting as ever.
So there you go, ten resolutions. All attainable. Many can be done to varying degrees of success, others just need done. Succeeding in 1) will be the hardest, but also the most rewarding. Succeeding in 2) just needs done, as does 8). But 3), 4), 6), 7) and 8) can all be as easy or hard as I make them.
My best time in a 10k race is just over 42 minutes. I would love to do it in under 40, although in training, I have actually managed 38 minutes. Somehow.
Learning a new language – I LOVE languages. I studied French for ten years from the age of six. I would love to be fluent in that again, but also to learn Italian, German, Gaelic and a Nordic language. Oh, I also got a 1st in New Testament Greek too..
Trying out a new sport – well, I have one in mind actually. Curling. Don’t laugh. I LOVE watching it. Why not give it a go?
So there you go, there are my top ten New Year’s Resolutions. Feel free to ask me about them. Please do, in fact. Make sure I stick to them. And if you want to, join me in them! Run with me, cycle with me, read with me, learn with me. But don’t try and vote with me. It’s secret. And don’t try and be funny. I have a monopoly on that.
So anyway, Happy New Year!

Well, be careful what you wish for – I’ve done exactly that.
As you may know, the UK is currently in an Armageddon-style blackout, with almost all air travel banned, as ash slowly creeps southwards across our Isles. Someone should make a film out of it.
Anyway, there was a certain degree of excitement in the office yesterday as people tracked the moving ash, NATS and the the Met Office department devoted to volcanic ash – bet you didn’t know about that one, eh?
So, after some interesting discussion about whether Steve would catch his flight or not, it all died down and everyone got back to work. And then it happened. Someone mentioned floating volcanoes. No, I’ve no ides where it came from either, but either way, they didn’t live it down for a while, as jokes flew (fittingly ironic, eh?) around about Mount Everest walking to Africa, and BA Cabin Crew striking over UFOs that later turn out to be volcanoes going for a little stretch. I couldn’t resist.
I put it up in the office today, to much raucous. In fact, it was so successful, I could be tempted to make it a more regular slot…you have been warned.

The opening matches were yesterday, when the World Cup hosts, South Africa, drew 1-1 with Mexico in an encounter dominated early on by the Mexicans, but nearly ended up losing at the death. This was then followed by a dire 0-0 draw between France and Uruguay. I’ve seen a few bad games in my time, but that really was an awful game, possibly on a par with the time I saw Watford draw 0-0 with Peterborough United at Vicarage Road. Believe me, that was an awful match.
Anyway, look out for (hopefully) regular postings throughout the World Cup. During the World Cup, you can follow my World Cup Tweets on my separate Twitter account for football, @BritishFootball. Obviously, you can still follow me with my usual @Noelinho account!
Also, not wanting to disappoint, you can go to the specially created World Cup page, which will keep you up to date with my most recent World Cup facts, stats and commentary, and will quite possibly feature a few other things as the competition continues. Don’t say I’m not good to you!
Finally, here are a few statistics from yesterday:
- In the last three #WorldCup tournaments, France have received 32 cautions and 5 early baths.
- France and Uruguay have, between them, been drawn in Group A or Group 1 six times before. Neither have ever progressed from the group stages from there.
- Yesterday’s 0-0 draw meant that France and Uruguay have drawn two consecutive World Cup games 0-0. The other was in 2002. No two teams have ever drawn 0-0 in consecutive World Cup matches before.
Aren’t you glad I told you that? Thought so.

Almost everyone knows someone who has been mugged at some point. I can think of a number of people I know who have been mugged in the last couple of years. It’s a crime I would like to see less of – not that there are any I would like to see more, of course!
However, staging mock muggings is not the way to do it. Have you heard such a ludicrous idea of late? The rationale goes like this: people are unwilling to interfere in muggings because they either don’t care, don’t have the confidence to take a mugger on, don’t want to get hurt or are just plain British and assume it’s not their business to interfere. Thus, staged muggings could be, err, “performed(?)”, and the public’s reaction gauged. Right?
Hmm. Strange concept. I mean, what’s going to happen when no-one interferes? Will a good ol’ copper come out and lecture everyone about how they should have wrestled the mugger to the ground in a citizen’s arrest? Or how they could have taken a photograph or video for evidence (or, more likely to put up on YouTube a “happy-slap” viral)?
It’s just not going to work. People will take no notice. Why? Because next time, they’ll just think, “oh, it’s just some staged performance”. So they won’t interfere. The same goes for anyone who would have interefered – they’ll just think, “last time was all for nothing. It wasn’t even a proper mugging. I won’t bother this time.”
And you know what else? It’s the perfect excuse for any would-be mugger.
This ludicrous proposal was put forward by the charity Witness Confident. The charity launches today. I am more than happy to provide P.R. consultancy for the going rates (that’ll be daylight robbery, ahem!)

Forget the General Election. Forget the World Cup, whether it be football, or the monstrosity that is chav cricket. Forget all the other things that can distract you this weekend, for there is only one things that matters. Norway. Oslo. The Telenor Arena. Saturday night… Eurovision. Saturday night is the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, and, ash permitting (it’s looking hopeful), I’ll be there, flag in hand, madly Tweeting away and running up an enormous mobile data bill in the most expensive country in Europe. Hard life, huh?
Today, I picked up my new toy. I say toy – it’s rather expensive for a toy. But it’s fast. I got my new racing bike, the Specialized Allez 16. I resisted the temptation to ride it back to my flat and instead walked it home so I could set it up properly.
