Machete!!!
I so want to see this film.
For when I have nothing to say to the world but just can't help opening my mouth......
From F1Fanatic.
"Juan Manuel Fangio won his fourth world championship on this day in 1956, in the last race of the season at Monza.
The steering on Fangio’s car broke early in the race, putting him out. That left his Ferrari team mate Peter Collins with a shot at winning the championship, if he won the race and set fastest lap (which was worth an extra point in those days).
But when Collins came into the pits to change tyres with 16 laps to go he spotted Fangio on the sidelines and offered his car to his rival (car-sharing was also allowed). Fangio took it and drove it to second place, enough to claim the by three points from race winner Stirling Moss.
Collins said afterwards he expected he would have other opportunities to win the world championship in the future. But just two years later he was killed in a crash at the Nürburgring."
Can you imagine this happening today? Even if car sharing were allowed I can't imagine Alonso giving his car to Massa if it meant he could win the championship.

DEAD LIKE ME-WONDERFALLS-PUSHING DAISIES Creator Bryan Fuller To Adapt Lunar Novel THE LOTUS CAVES For Syfy!! -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
Good news. Bryan Fuller is a TV genius. It's just a pity that the TV execs keep cancelling his shows.
I'm particularly interested in this as The Lotus Caves was my favourite book as a small boy. I still have my copy. I may have to read it again.

For the past 6 weeks or so I have had much less hair than I used to have. I have always had thick hair with more curls in it than a slinky and I just got a bit sick of it so I shaved it all off. Well, not all of it but most of it.
I love my new hair. It requires no effort to look after and I think it looks much better. I have also bought a hair trimmer so I don't even need to go to the hairdressers any longer. This is a good thing as I can't believe how quickly hair grows when it is very short! I'd be spending a fortune.
So, I was looking in the mirror the other day and thought, "I wonder what I would look like totally bald?". The more I think about it the more I want to know. It's become an obsession! I don't want to be totally bald forever, just shave my head completely once to see what it looks like.
Now, starting next week I have the best part of 2 weeks off work. As I said above, hair grows very quickly when it is very short and I think I could shave it at the beginning of my holiday and it would be mostly back to where it is at the moment in a couple of weeks.
The question is, should I do it? I'm thinking yes but opinions would be welcome. :-)

Donington back in action Planet F1 Formula One News
Good news!
There was a chance that Donnington would be lost along with it's exceptional F1 museum. Thankfully it seems to be back on track (pardon the pun).

F1 simulator on a giant robot arm!! Genius!
It's just a pity it's simulating a Ferrari and not a Mclaren. :-)
