Electing to hold off on getting some major building work done until "the good weather kicks in".

Roll on July 13th, mid-summer, cue rain pissing down out of the heavens on the day that they have to start cutting open the back of my house.

I could have had this work finished last February and the weather conditions would have been the exact same.

this is Ireland though; indistinct weather, no clear seasons, some people find it charming

I'm sick to the back teeth of Lewis Hamilton. Annoying bastard. After the vegan shite, he has to get his soundbytes in the news every two days. Shut the fuck up!

were you born about 1972 by any chance? you seem to be irritated by people and things that are themselves fading out. Vegetarianism and veganism are kind of inevitable, lewis hamilton is prime millennial, but that cohort is fading away now too. I mean nobody knows/cares about fenians and bobby sands anymore, and even tellytubbies is a weird nostalgic franchise in itself

Agreed. Formula 1 is unwatchable these days as, no matter what the subject, it's all turned around to him. His latest headline grab with the sudden interest in matters of race is particularly cynical - the only time he'd ever mentioned race was during the 2011 season when he was getting (deserved) penalties every second week and he quipped "maybe it's because I'm black". Arsehole. Best paid driver in the world, yeah, you're being victimised. He doesn't mind driving for Mercedes and wearing Hugo Boss logos when the price is right.

I'm not saying lewis hamilton isn't irritating though; that entire generation is unbearable, but they are kinda old news by now anyway

Motorsport is not a cheap activity to get involved in, even competitive karts for young lads cost a fortune, so he was hardly playing hurling with tennis balls as a young fella.

How much more attention does he want? The black car, the black little onesie, it's all so insincere. Most of the drivers wore that 'end racism' t-shirt, but this goon had to separate himself from the herd with his BLM one. Fuck off. Delighted to see 6 of them not kow tow to the cult.

F1 sacked all it's grid girls a few years ago because it was 'objectifying women'. All of them were full human beings in the dole queue.

there was a point 25 years ago when motorsports were in a nice place between geek porn and mainstream appeal, but if it helps- hamilton is tied into a few big conspiracies, all the main ones actually.

Yeah, I mean, you'd swear 'Come Out Ye Black & Tans' had been in the charts recently or something!

Been sick of him for years, basically since he came into F1, threw his toys out of the pram about how he wasn't getting the same treatment as Alonso (who just happened to be the current F1 champion), Then as gratitude, throwing Ron Dennis (who had basically backed him from his karting days all the way into F1) under the bus after he got caught lying to stewards, not to mention crying more than Vettel does whenever the car isn't working perfectly (Demanding to retire the car with twenty laps to go because points don't look likely - has happened on quite a few occasions), and his habit of forcing people off the track - makes Schumacher look like a gentleman racer.
TBH F1 has gone to fuck the past few years. DRS is a fucking farce - I remember the days when a better driver could keep a quicker car behind him for laps,  these days press your DRS button and away you go. And the "Jump out of the way as soon as the blue flags are shown". If you can't deal with lapped cars as good as someone else, that's your problem? How the hell did Senna and co do in those days?   And shitty little hybrid engines. Go back to V10s.
And why the fuck is Grosjean still in F1?

more or less that's true going back to Adorno, and however far back before popular music you want to go.

You weren't born in 1978 by any chance? You seem to be irritated by stuff. Anyway, old news is kinda old news by now anyway. As is breathing. I mean, how long have humans been breathing? And eating. Who the fuck even eats anymore? I've a link about the whole Rothschild/Haribo conspiracy but be warned, it's a bit much for some people and I'm only going to reference it in the vaguest terms possible. I'm just trying to help, as best I can. It's old news though.
