Fantasy F1: Bit of a problem with these new sprint races. Qualifying is now on the Friday. I don't really want to mess with the rules
mid-season so we'll carry on having teams locked on Friday night, which means you can already see the qualifying results. But the scores are based on the GRID, not the
qualifying, so effectively it's the result of Saturday's sprint race. We'll run with that for now and see how it goes.
So cutoff for edits for Silverstone is still midnight GMT on the night of Friday 16th July.

Now let's not get over-excited, it's not a good movie. The story is devoid of all value, the morality is too
simplistic for a five year old and the script is so
breathtakingly bad that you could turn the movie into a spoof without changing a single word. If you were to put Ramboid
clichés into a fruit machine and spin the wheels, you'd have your new Rambo movie right there. On top of that, despite the
evidence of effective computer trickery, they STILL insist on using that stupid technique of yanking the guy who's been
shot backwards on a wire! Haven't we established enough that it looks awful when they do that?
Anyone would think the special effects industry doesn't hang on my every word. So how on earth does Rambo
end up being anything other than a hideous barrel of swamp rot? I'll tell you. By accident.
You see, the movie is played straight - we're supposed to feel shocked when the innocent kiddies get shot, then enraged in
a Daily Mail let's-hurt-someone-so-we'll- feel-better kind of way. But this is Rambo. We know it's horse-shit. So when
the baddies make the villagers run through a land-mined paddy field for sport, it's not shocking at all, in exactly the
same way that when New York was annihilated in
