Probably should be...thus far it's been lucky enough that the explosions have happened in situations where the drivers had a chance to react. A tire blows under braking and this could get very dangerous.

Well yeah, if there was another puncture and someone got hurt then they would get battered (quite rightly). Still, we might be ok.

Reading the comments above, I've tried, I've really tried. Honestly, I tried as hard as I could for two minutes, it being the British Grand Prix and all.

I tried watching when I saw the comments too. Think I lasted three minutes.

Watching the Diamond League now. Much better.

I respect the effort <laugh> it's finished now anyway. I'll watch Farah later, just ran a 10k this morning, don't think I'll be giving him a race yet though.
 
I must stop all this recycle centre stuff, as it is beginning to clutter up the place. I've already started cherry picking though. As you possibly know, I've occasionally been asked for the use of my van to throw away old stuff and up until now I've been to the tip about half a dozen times. But being a bit of a computer geek means that I can recognise a decent bit of kit from yards away. Which means I can't keep away from their computer cage. Yesterday, I brought away a motherboard/processor/heatsink and fan. Just a few moments ago I took them apart to see what the individual pieces were and look them up on Google. Oh, and I've tested them as far as I can without RAM and all appears OK, as far as it goes. The processor turns out to be an AMD Phenom II QUAD core running at 3.3Ghz and the compatible motherboard takes DDR3 memory. I don't have anything remotely that modern, but I thought I'd waste £6.20 on a 2Gb RAM stick to see if the whole caboodle checks out further. OK, if it's all a dud, then I've paid out £6.20 for some memory I no longer need and I have a good heatsink and fan. If it checks out fine I'm flabbergasted as to who would bother to upgrade from this kit so soon. A PC gamer perhaps, with an acute attack of upgraditis..?
 
Finally playing GT5 after it took about 24 hours to update and install. Motorsport is far more interesting this way.
