    Around .5 sec faster than anyone else and the fastest lap of the race.

    Looks like a goodbye from Daniel Ricciardo in his final race., maybe F1 career over.

    Next step - career as F1 Sky TV pundit beckons. 

    Wouldn't surprise me if he fancied a shot at Nascar in some capacity.

    The argument for that always seems to be that cycle lanes ridden with potholes and drains. I don’t cycle though so I don’t know how accurate that is.

    Reminds me, there’s a cycle lane along a main road in Ayr that’s always choc-a-bloc with parked cars, head to toe basically. There’s never any traffic enforcement handing out tickets to the plethora of parked cars so it’s probably the most pointless bit of “infrastructure” I’ve seen on the roads. Which is impressive.

    The cycle lane along the shore front at Ayr is very rarely used by the occasional family with kids which is nice to see. The adults tend to bomb along the footpath causing havoc for us joggers and pedestrians.....grrrrr.

    My girlfriends family all talk like this, perhaps it's an Ayrshire fing. 

    I've been in Ayr for 17 years and never heard such a thing from the 6 fingered yokels up country. Plenty of yins and twas and similar annoyances though. Its like they can't possibly be heard to pronounce words 'properly' and feel the need to change them to something incomprehensible. 

  4. I love oval racing I really do but this last Indycar race in some random oval in Nashville is no way to finish the championship. Few fans and little interest but that has been the same in recent years. My main screen is on Nascar from Watkins Glen and hoping Shane Van Gisbergen do the business tonigh. He really knows how to get past the redknecks like last night Xfinity race.

    It seems to be a by-product of the success of W7. I’m not in anyway blaming Josh and his guys that have worked hard on improving the atmosphere within the ground but they must be aware of who these wee tadgers are…..a wee bit of self policing may just help. I’d also be happy to see stewards (hard job I know) and police just picking out the cretins in balaclavas and lifting them.

    Unfotunately it's not an arrestable offence to be found wearing a facemask but I get where you're coming from.

    Blackberry Smoke at the O2 Academy in Glasgow tonight.

    A band that simply never miss. Superb setlist, phenomenal musicians, they really are the whole package.

    You really can tell they love performing live which is just as well with hundreds of gigs every year.

    Is the handle a proper handle or a button mechanism that opens it? Maybe it's got stiff and blown a fuse?

    Sometimes there a latch on the inside hidden behind some liner to open it, or to get in about it with some lube.

    OOOOhh Matron.....

    Pretty sure that is the case for the older style rechargeables but not lithium batteries.  Best keeping it mid range if possible, 20-80%.

    Same with phones and laptops etc.

    This is exactly what I was going to say. 

    Seems a little pointless to be honest. If something is on catch up why would I need to bother "saving" it on Stream. It literally just adds a bookmark to the catch up service and, as Rig says, if it's not on catch up you're screwed. Or if it expires before you watch it, it's gone. 

    I won't be moving to their streaming until they prise the dish out of my cold, dead hands (or until they turn it off, whichever comes first) 

    Slightly different subject but the satellite Sky use is coming to its end of life in the next few years. Lots of rumours about what they're going to do. End of life doesn't mean it will just switch off of course but presumably sky will eventually move away from the dish to streaming 

    I'm sure I read somewhere recently that the satellites will go out of service by 2030 so like you I will stick with the dish until then. Even then I can't see all their customers being able or willing to switch to fibre broadband so they might change their plans rather than risk losing loads of subscribers. I don't mind the 60-90 second delay on iptv as i've got used to it over the years.
