I can’t believe that F1 is disappearing from the BBC. Ok, so not disappearing as such, they’ll still ‘share’ some of the races with Sky, but not all, and not equally. They get the British GP, and the last GP of the season I believe, and a few more, but that’s it.

Bad decision for us race fans, especially those of us who don’t have Sky! Like me.

The reason I say bad decision, is because the BBC is keeping worldwide services, yet dropping services for those of us who actually -pay- for the BBC! We pay the license fee here in the UK, so what do we care about services for people across the world? I doubt very much Egyptians care for Brits, and would mind paying for a radio/TV service for us, or the Burmese, or the Indonesians, etc.,

Of all the sports they could drop the ball on, it’s the one I happen to watch. The only one! Figures…

If Einstein was right, and the faster we go the heavier we get, to the point of infinity at the speed of light, why aren’t photons (light) as heavy as the Universe?

Why is it that I wait until 11 at night to listen to music, and now it’s midnight and the Stan Getz track rolls around, Summertime, what a great track, what a great piece of true jazz!

I don’t know what it is, but I think somewhere, genetically, I’m more of a night owl. Friends, family, will all say that I’m not a morning person (image: picture Oscar from Sesame Street). I’m definitely more awake at night, wide awake still now.
