Still just the 1 win this season. We had a shocker. Arrived at the ground (can't recall ever playing there before) and thought it looked lovely. On a bit of a slope, but not too dissimilar to the slope I played on for many years at Laughton. Pitch looked in good condition for playing. The...

Yup. He's talking defiant, but he needs a mega Sunday now. And to then back that up with an error free weekend at Spa.

Hungarian GP is underway. Mercedes cars were out on track immediately, despite Crowdstrike issues. I'm watching practice a little more closely than usual this weekend, due to the intense rumours surrounding Perez and his potential (lack of) future at Red Bull. Difficult first session for him...

Formula 1 first practice due to start in a few minutes. Be interesting to see how quickly they get out on track :P

Uckfield 1st's are off to Heathfield this weekend, up against Heathfield Park 2nds. Heathfield currently 3rd in Sussex Cricket League Div 9 East. Uckfield dead last, but we're on a roll now - 1 win in 10 matches, we'll be looking to make it 2 from 11...

Crowdstrike is on my work Windows laptop. I've not done a full reboot for a while. Everything working ok for now.

I have a certain degree of sympathy with their cause. I have none for their methodology pursuing it. When it comes to judging the sentences ... I've seen far more lenient sentences handed out to people who've done (IMO) far worse crimes. So in that respect ... no, I disagree with the sentences...

When they're nationalised, and no sooner. As long as they are being run by private companies whose only goal is profit / dividends to send overseas, they don't care about whether or not they're encouraging people to leave their car at home.

Cheers :). I'll put that down to the passion I have for the sport (and everything that goes on in the background). Have to admit, though, I am generally of the more verbose persuasion. Been told a number of times through my time at my current employer to stop talking around the point and just...

Process is now underway. Haas have announced that KMag will not be staying for 2025. That clears the way for announcing Ocon later today.

What are the DUI rules like over here? I know back in Aus you could get done for riding a bicycle drunk ... any mode of transport, actually (including horses, a kids tricycle, scooter, etc).

Yeah, so true. Adding a data point from personal experience yesterday. My Zoe will be 4 years old in September. As of last night, it's done around 26500 miles. Claimed range at new was up to 245 miles from the 52kWh battery. So to achieve 245 miles you'd need to be hitting 4.7 miles per kWh...

If you're on fixed, probably worth sticking with it until the fix expires and then reviewing again. Octopus have a few different tariffs for EV owners, they're definitely worth looking at as from my experience their support is very good, and they don't take the p*** - for example not routinely...

Ouch. The retire at 50 rule sounds a bit harsh personally, especially when it completely turns a game on its head like that. The sorts of pitches we've been playing on this season, batters need to take a bit of time to get in before trying to score. Lose a set batsman and the game can change...

Nothing solid really. It's widely believed that he was ready to sign for Williams ahead of the Spanish GP. Then Alpine came in with a big late offer after Briatore joined them, dangling the carrot of potential Mercedes engines from 2026. Was a fair bit of talk that he would go that way ... and...

BBC reporting that Ocon to Haas for 2025 is a signed deal and should be announced during the build up to the Hungary race this weekend, citing sources from both Haas and Mercedes (Ocon is managed by Mercedes still). Some interesting thoughts on the situation with Perez / Ricciardo / Lawson at...

Sounds like me. Spent the last two seasons bowling using painkillers due to having had a frozen hip. 2022 was weird, as it was still frozen, which meant I was bowling "over the top" of my hip instead of rotating. All of a sudden my natural outswinger was an inswinger, took a while to get used to...

Uckfield 1sts hosted Nutley 1sts yesterday. Nutley dismantled our bowling in the first match of the season, winning by 10 wickets chasing a modest total. Different story yesterday. We lost the toss and were asked to bat on a green and slightly damp pitch. Slow going initially, but we kept...

For what reason? Last I saw, the "credible" research that's been done says that an ICE is more likely to require the attention of fire services than an EV. I had this discussion with my dad a while back, after he sent me a vid that explored the potential problems if an EV goes into thermal...

Does the pole come with a dancer?
