Someone has to go over the F1 cock up that occurred this morning ( my time), very glad I didn't wake up at 3:30 to watch.
What a fucking joke. The sport is dying, bring on 2008 and a new championship.
We can then watch Max, Bernie and Ferrari race themselves, as by then they will be the only one left in F1. To do something so monumentally stupid in the US of all places where people think as much of suing someone as saying hello to them, well done Bernie you were worried about the European banks taking all your money, well now it will be a bunch of lawyers.

Quick Book update, not because you're interested, but because I don't have anywhere else to put it yet. I finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time a couple of weeks ago, easy going in terms of reading, and relatively enjoyable.

I've just finished The Moon and Sixpence, which is wonderful, well worth a read as imagine all Maugham's books are.

The New York Times as a good biography of Maugham, some what bizarrely in the film section, but still good none, the less.

As a quick note, I've also read Collected Short Stories: Vol 3, which was brilliant, Don't ask me why I started with the 3rd Volume and not the first, I have some vague recollection it had something to do with Emmas suggestion.

Lastly on a geek note, I'm reading rather slowly through Alistair Cockburns Agile Software Development: Software Through People, so far it is easy to read and makes sense. I guess you buy this kind of book to help better understand the ideas
of software development you have bubbling round in your head, well I do anyway *cough*.
Hmmm well it has been a while, not a lot has changed. I've started going out on either a friday or a saturday and then feeling rather unless on a saturday / sunday.
Bloody good fun.
