Think I saw a Fly Agaric (aka Amanita Muscaria) yesterday. Could have been some other red-capped shroom , I suppose. My liver, kidneys, and psyche aren't up to that kind of thing these days anyway.

Fernando is champion, huzzah. He'd have done it even without the problems Michael had, almost certainly, but that bad grid position and puncture for Schumacher did save my heart a little.

Raikkonen's coment on why he didn't attend the pre-race presentation to Schu was amusing - "I was having a shit". Funniest thing he's said in about 6 years, and the biggest smile I've ever seen on him when he said it.

My BetFair bankroll (I say "bankroll", I mean "about 20 quid") will be freed up now the F1 season is over. It will be between 5 and 8 quid bigger now, but it's been so long I can't realy recall exactyl how much it used to be.

Also, BetFair have left one poker software network and gone elsewhere. I don't know if this is connected to the US thing. I used to quite like their software - I don't really like avatars, as used on eg PokerRoom - I just want to see a name, maybe a location, and stack size, and the chance to make notes on a player. That said, PokerRoom's avatars have been modified for the run-up to Halloween and are slightly more amusing at the moment.

The Futoshiki had a unique answer this week, at last. The Killer took me 3 goes though. I had a look in The Indy for the hexadecimal Sudoku, but the prize was a Da Vinci Code DVD so I didn't bother getting it. Never did get last week's sorted - got it wrong somehow 3 times, gave up.
