  1. Watched it in the pub and turned at least two Cambodians into racing and Mick fans Not eventful race by any means, but a good win for Mick. He and Schwartzman both had a good start, glad he managed to keep the lead. 18 points ahead now, hope for some more good results in quali 2 and both races tomorrow!
  2. Get in! Mick continues where he left of and claims the pole for Race 1 in Spielberg @Tommy
  3. The sequels are definitely worse; there's no way anyone could have saved it - it's fucking horrible. The Force Awakens is just a lazy remake of the New Hope and The Last Jedi is just plain boring and poorly written. Not to mention the shitty disposable new characters and ruining of the old characters such as Luke Skywalker by making them a total joke of their former selves.
  4. Rogue One (2016) A great fit in the Star Wars Universe (finally a superb world building again!), and just like Solo, a surprisingly good anthology movie that I enjoyed way more than I thought I would. Darth Vader scenes in it are brilliant, the ending is class and it's great that the movie fills the gaps in the original story. It actually feels like Star Wars, unlike the shitty sequels... 7.5/10
  5. Of course not - and it's not exclusive to African countries only, but it's particularly rampant there (and most other developing countries) because of poor record keeping. Like I recall that a few years back over 20 (!) Nigerian players were found to be overage and were banned; that's almost the whole team so it's hardly a coincidence... after shite like that going on for years, it's no wonder people get suspicious.
  6. You don't believe in something that has been well proven and documented in numerous cases and they even introduced MRI tests due to age fraud being so rampant in Africa?...

    She has also never heard of Steve McQueen...
  11. Got it as an audiobook in the end, and it was really worth it. Very fascinating book; a sort of a popular science version of "big anthropological history" that covers the history, culture and societal aspects of our species and raises quite a few interesting points throughout. Highly recommended!
  12. To be honest, I'm not... their management and work culture have often been questionable throughout history, and it took Todt, Schumacher, Byrne and Brawn over 6 years to transform it, turn it into a functioning team and finally start winning championships again.
  13. To be fair Hamilton would win in the rain anyway But yeah - it would benefit Vettel and Ferrari after the fuckup with the tyre choice...
  14. Ferrari are such bottlers haha. Rain incoming?
  15. Oh, those might all be good enough reasons that explain why he turned - I don't have a problem with that! We always knew that it was Anakin's emotions and sort of arrogance and ambitiousness that played a role in him joining the dark side. However, I personally just couldn't make the connection between a calm, cold, calculating, composed Darth Vader of the originals and angsty, hot headed, pissy, irrational Anakin of the prequels... That's the part which wasn't believable at all for me, and that's why he doesn't seem a well-rounded character at all. I heard his character is really great in The Clone Wars (animated series) though, so I might just give it a go to redeem him for me.
  16. Well, while I appreciate the idea that it's his love for Padme that essentially made him turn and join the dark side - the said love story was extremely cringy, and after being introduced to one of the most iconic ever villains in the history of cinema in the original Star War movies, I really didn't expect to see a hormonal, whiny, cocky teenager with no self control, no composure, no discipline - all that after years of Jedi training too, allegedly. I don't mind the prequels (except Episode II which was just plain boring), but I was extremely disappointed with his character development/backstory and didn't find it believable - or rather the way they portrayed it. EDIT: It was still better than the portrayal of the fucking Kylo Ren in the sequels
  17. Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) After an extreme disappointments of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, I was very reluctant to watch this and had very low expectations... especially since Han has always been my favourite, and I was worried that this standalone movie would ruin the character for me, similar to how the prequels kind of ruined Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. What can I say? I'm glad I did decide to watch it! This was actually great, and I totally loved it! A solid 8/10.
  18. I actually haven't watched the finale yet... Got caught up with other things (mainly Star Wars haha). Will watch it soon though - glad it's been renewed!
  19. Sports and exercise in general is a good healthy way to clear your mind, but honestly, beers on Saturday night somehow are more appealing
