Cortez is in the playlist.

Good choice that person - clearly a being of discerning taste.

Miserera Mia - Allegri then!

I could have put any number of songs but it always comes back to this. Hauntingly beautiful but on the caveat it has to be the full version and none of the 3 min nonsense that puts the crescendo in far too early. 

This was one of the first songs i thought of too - amazing live - the bass is so intense i can still remember the way i felt the song as much as heard it.  Good old summer sundae @ DeMontford hall.

Others that spring instantly to mind.... But there's so many.

In the end it's got to be...  if only for the experience of a nice load of mushrooms, some Don Darias, and watching the sun come up at Beeston castle at some point in the mid-90s with this on in the background.

Ha - hero

Mental.  2 race ban + disqualified, should be more.

The Magicians, The Magicians Wotsit, The Magician's Land - Lev Grossman

 

First book is Hogwarts for depressed, insanely bright outcasts; crossed with a bit of Narnia. Works well.

Second book is what happens if you're not able to get into Narnia, and starts to get much more into myth rather than just Narnia.

Third book commits to the premise, discarding CS Lewis entirely and trampling on the corpse.

 

Quite enjoyed them (I can usually tell, because I'll blow through a trilogy in a weekend rather than over the course of a few months).

First couple of episodes of the TV series (which I started watching in parallel with starting the second book) didn't grab me though.

Same - i liked the books a lot.  They're a lot less full of hipster bullshit than the TV series and develop the characters massively. 

Spent the weekends downtime reading this

I really like this 5 book series - heartily recommend.

What! No Sleeper?

Always appreciated J5.  Congratulations on the new addition.  

Thank god for Raspberry Pi and sportsdevil :-)

Peter V Brett. The skull Throne.

It's out and it's good.

Part iv of the painted man saga.

Signed up for the season Cheers

Now to forget to update it after the first few races like last season

Just been reading comments on F1Fanatic and theres a number of people saying that blue flags (and indeed blue lights) were being shown in error, one person claims a lone Mercedes was shown blue flags as was Alonso when Rosberg was behind him, this was all at the last corner apparently.

No idea how true any of that is but if so then something was clearly going wrong with the running of the race this weekend.

Aye - i saw a couple of Blue situations that weren't flagged. Wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot the other way round.

Aye - i agree really, but it's pretty cut and dry from the rule book. I reckon if it is a commercially advantageous then there could be an appeal, but it'd be a judgement call from the top and lots of digging into telemetry to see if people stopped pushing after they saw the 'first' chequered flag potentially enabling a pass, even then it'd still be a bit hit and miss.

If it's lawyers and engineers then any data could almost be shown to mean anything.

Poor "Dave" will probably be cleaning Uranium from worked boots next week.
