I really honestly couldn't believe this when I saw it (many thanks to Jim Minatel for bringing this to my attention!) - what the hell was Ecclestone thinking?!

The sooner they launch a new championship - some sort of spin off, free from the rules and decisions made by incompetant and self-important fools - the better....
Ever had that strange experience of ordering pizza over the phone and the person on the other end knows where you live? I guess it's not that strange when you think about it, but it spooked me the first time I had that happen to me. Anyway, if you find that mildly spooky, you'll enjoy this link.

As many of my readers will know, I've got this annoying allergy to milk protein (diagnosed by a proper allergy clinic by skin-prick test things), which means I have to avoid milk, cheese, butter, cream and yoghurt in general, along with other milk-based products. Given that milk appears all over the place (full-fat Hellmans Mayonnaise is milk-free, their low-fat version has cream in it, but the extra low-fat is again free from milk!) I have to spend time looking at product labels, and checking out menus, and asking for additional information in restaurants.
I have to remember to inform almost anyone...
