Exactly. Most of us have encountered that person at some point in our lives.

You may have a point. That chicken definitely looks underage.

 
 
 
 

Though not specific to the Cthulhu Mythos, The Lovecraft Investigations is highly recommended to any lovers of Lovecraft. It's a spoof true crime podcast set in the present day and the plots are based on classic Lovecraft stories.

As it's BBC, I'm guessing it may be geolocked, but for anyone who can access BBC Sounds the previous three seasons are available and a new one is about to start soon.

I think FOM have got themselves in a difficult position because they wanted a night race for the spectacle (so much more important than the racing). But doing it on the western side of America makes it tricky time-wise for their biggest audience. The ultra-late racing is probably a compromise that'll please no one.

Exactly! Perez is probably done as a RBR driver, but shit like this is hardly going to help matters.

That's very much the old school macho mindset that was prevalent in F1 when Brundle was driving.

I don't think many of the current drivers buy into that.

I can't imagine anything more likely to encourage a driver than being publicly bad-mouthed by Marko.

I mean, it's never failed to work before has it?

Norris would be a significant upgrade but he's not currently available and I can't see McLaren letting him go without a fight.

Never was a great fan of Murray Walker TBH. The combo of Murray and James Hunt was classic though. Murray would spout a load of bollocks and James, sounding half-pissed (which he probably was), would put him right.

They're half a second behind one of the Red Bulls. The other one seems to have given up. If McLaren can regularly put two drivers on the podium then RBR have a problem next year.

Lighting was Wright's speciality. The Alchemist is pretty epic too.

Yes, the architectural detail is amazing.

Well it is a cart horse with a bloody great spike on top of its head. What is more surprising is that anyone ever thought of unicorns as being cute.
