Life's about experiences. These are mine.
So the new Liberal Democrat leader is in hot water already with the “revelation” that he does not believe in God. No sooner had he answered the question than he was having to beat a hasty retreat and saying things like that he had “enormous respect for people who have religious faith” and that his …
So Kimi Raikkonen is the new Formula One world champion, or is he… As I write this the McLaren team have appealed the decision not to disqualify the BMW & Williams team for being found to have fuel that is more than 10 degrees outside ambient temperature. Therefore, while a decision is made on that …
With the advent of multi-channel TV the publishers need to find something to fill these channels. So today on BBC Parliament we have live coverage of the Labour Party Conference, complete and unedited. From the little I saw this morning this message hadn’t got through to the MP Keith Vaz who was chairing a Q&A …
Today the FIA have released details of why they came to the decision to fine McLaren a record $100M in the Ferrari spy scandal.

The local council want to shut my sons secondary school, Ryeish Green based on a falling roll. Research carried out by the council shows that the roll will continue to fall making the school not viable. However, independent research carried out shows that the councils figures are wrong and the that the roll will actually …
It has been interesting to watch the qualifying shenanigans over the weekend and then see the following announcements from the McLaren team regarding what happened and then try and match that to what was on TV. To me something doesn’t quite add up. Why is it that the questions that you really want answering never …
It’s my birthday soon and I’ll obviously be showered with gifts and presents from family, friends and general well wishers. The big question though is just what should they buy the man who pretty much has everything he wants at a price people are willing to pay? Well how about the officially licensed WilliamsF1 beanbag? …
The organising body of Formula One have offered this service for a while but I have only just got round to bloging about it. During all F1 sessions including the race live timing is available in exactly the same format as is available to the teams. This means that even when the Williams are not …
