Just watched all the Silverstone F1 GP coverage on BBC (including the F1 Forum) a little while ago. It was a good race - no British drivers on the podium sadly but Mark Webber managed third (although you could argue that it could have been second had it not been for the infamous team orders) and at least Fernando Alonso was first and not Sebastian Vettel for a change!
It's a pity about what happened to Jenson Button - I think he could have done well had it not been for mistake during his pit stop. If you didn't see the race - the lollypop man (is that really his job title?) told Jenson he could go but his right front wheel hadn't been secured as the guy securing it was reaching for another gun to secure a bolt on there when Jenson got the go ahead. Needless to say, Jenson just got up a little way up the exit from the pits when the wheel started to come off so that was the end of his race!
I've no doubt someone is going to be in a lot of trouble for that!
Other than that today, I've changed my pic on my profile as the old one was a bit too dark and moody. Now you get a nice shot of smiling face instead!
Oh - and I've decided I shall definitely be going to Silverstone next year! :-)

General Sunday ramblings...
Hmm. Today's F1 GP was a bit flat for me... still, all the other races so far have been pretty good and the Montreal one was one of the best I've ever seen, so I suppose that, although it wasn't boring, it did have a lot ot live up to!
I've been playing with my new toy this weekend... It's a camcorder, before anybody gets any funny ideas! ;-) Anyway, just been trying out zoom, focus, etc. and just recording stuff around the house. I'm thinking of posting some stuff up soon.
I also think the time has come for me to start meeting some new people. I'm sure I'll post about that later on.
Oh - Transformers 3 is out this week. I was going to go to a screening in the middle of the week but think I'll give it a few days. Anyway, anybody that knows me knows that there is no chance of me missing it. I'll probably go and see it in 3D just to see what the whole thing looks like but I must admit I'm not a huge fan of 3D at the moment. I find I always have eyeache for ages afterwards. It's an interesting idea but I think in it's current form its been over-hyped. The ultimate will be a 3D system where it's in the screen and you don't need glasses. Maybe something like the tech used in the 3DS (although reportedly a lot of people turn the 3D setting right down after a while! Hmm!). I'm pretty sure that'll happen. The need for glasses is what is holding this back a bit, for me at least.
If I invite someone round, I don't want to say they can't watch or play something in 3D because I don't have enough expensive 3D glasses. I want something everyone can enjoy. So, nice idea but not good enough to make me hand over my money yet.
It's a nice day outisde - 28 degrees you know! I'm going to go now and sit out in it for a bit! :-)
