Nice, Chris. Do you already know where in Tenerife? I spent over 3 months there last year, using Puerto de la Cruz as my main base as we wanted to avoid the tourist destinations in the South. Really enjoyed it. The only downside was the timing, as there were still plenty of covid restrictions, so I wasn't able to do everything I wanted to... The most frustrating thing I had to miss out on was the Teide Observatory; it's the largest solar observatory in the world and one of the best observatories overall, but sadly they were closed to visitors at the time I was there either way, Teide national park is a must; feels like something completely out of this world! I also went paragliding there, can highly recommend it too... There's also an insane amount of hiking possibilities all over the island, so I'm sure it will be a blast for you too!

I have Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, and Read Dead Redemption series on the top of my priorities list Funnily enough, I bought most of them throughout the years but also haven't even touched most of them, as I either had no machinery to play on, or when I had the machinery, I had absolutely no time

I actually only ever played the first one Planning to get a proper desktop PC for gaming for Christmas, so will probably have a lot of catching up to do

When you have a sprint race and a feature (main) race over the weekend, the qualifying usually determines the starting grid of both - the qualifying order is the starting grid of the main race, while in the sprint race, it's usually reverse grid of qualifying order for top 8 or top 10 or whatever (depending on the series). So basically since the main race is worth more points, you would still want to do well in qualifying in order to start in front.

Speak for yourself, I, for one, thought it was a brilliant idea

Funnily enough, they are asking opinions about sprint races on the Fan Voice now. Certainly planning something.

Starting this tonight. Has been touted as the best science book of 2022 by so many; really eager to check it out.

This looks insane.

It was only missing a few f-bombs Love her.

Looks fantastic.

Good to hear he's safe and sound! Must have been a nightmare for the parents... My cousin went missing once when he was around 9 or so. We were spending some time in the countryside at my grandma's homestead, woke up in the morning, and him (and his bicycle) was gone, nowhere to be found for hours. We got into the cars and went in several directions to search for him, and finally found him cycling on the motorway, heading back to his hometown about 150km away. The little bastard managed to cycle 50 kilometers, all because he was bored, wanted to go back home to his friends, and had an argument with his parents the day before because they were making him stay at the grandma's homestead instead

We have an entire thread for that

I never carry anything in back pocket in public, that's just asking for trouble But to answer your question, it's probably because the front pockets in women jeans/trousers are not wide and deep enough for the size of modern smartphones... So if you don't have a bag and if your hands are full, back pocket is sadly the only option sometimes You should go to Fuerteventura, Chris

This one's about the cartel in a particular city kidnapping people for ransom, and then still killing them and hiding the bodies despite actually getting the ransom money from the families. Some of the victims were even chosen as kidnapping targets by their own extended family members. Unfathomable.

Would have been pretty cool, but I guess now Porsche will fully concentrate on the new WEC programme, so I can't complain.

What else did you watch recently? Anything "special"?

Didn't know it was in the works... One of the best books of all time, one that everyone should read. This looks like it could do the book and the original movie adaptation justice. Looks brutal, heartfelt, and depressing, with some lighter episodes depicting the camaraderie of the soldiers. I was glad to see the scene of Paul and Kat stealing geese in the trailer already

Why did they censor the word "weed" though
