Not one I’ve seen very often in the wild. How does it play? Guessing it’s a bit more arcade-y than Psygnosis/Bizarre Creations’ F1 game on PS1? It looks quite pretty from the shots on the back.
Also love how they made Ukyo Katayama quite prominent on the cover (in the number 3 Tyrrell)

If you’re going to university and just using AI to write your essays I ask - what’s the point? You may as well just not bother and just mock up a fake degree certificate, print it out and frame it.
Call me a Luddite but I absolutely detest AI, and particularly detest the idea we have to embrace it

You keep Kevin Kilbane’s name out of your mouth!
Mind you, I will grant you, it’s not a great tactical switch…

Watch this bunch of charlatans row back on this cruel and stupid ‘policy’ within a week, but not until Labour have looked at it and thought ‘maybe there’s something in this…hmm’

I see the stupidity going on in the US today (thinking Trump’s drivelling at McDonalds franchisees), think ‘thank god I’m not over there’ and then see this utter bullshit from a ‘Party’ that is, for some fucking reason, being taken seriously by people who should know better. I swear I’m going insane

She should care, it echoes the feelings of far far more people than the pig-headed idiot will ever care to admit. But I guess only Reform voters are the only ones that matter. Since when did we elect this lot to be as arrogant and ignorant as the shower of bastards we had for the last 14 years?

When you say date, do you mean ‘date’, or a ‘date for her next wedding’?

They genuinely thought ‘voters want the evil policies of the Tories but done competently’, never realising it was those policies in the first place that were reason a lot of us wanted them gone. Their strategy is worse than flawed - it’s cruel, it’s evil and it’s suicidal.

Apparently paid for by revenue raised from sales of her autobiography. She only wrote it so she could make and star in this ‘delight’. Goes without saying it’s poorly made and pretty dull but the ending had me in hysterics.

It’s that whole ‘childish wishlist’ (copyright Dominic ‘Fail Upwards’ Raab) nonsense again. When you ask the question - why? They just come back with ‘because I said so’ or ‘because that’s just the way it is’

“Octopus” is a great episode too. Always strikes me how low-key cool Chloe’s dad is in a geeky, slightly awkward way as well

I think you should commemorate the absolute significance of PNE being 4th in the Champ (nosebleed!), defying that we were candidates for relegation by drawing some of the most beautiful men in the world…and our squad too…
Or you can wait till May and commemorate us finishing 12th as we usually do…

Just looked him up and he presented the Radio 2 breakfast show around that time, maybe a reaction to being ‘forced’ to listen to it in the morning by their parents? It just could be petty enough to be the reason for the hate

Seem to recall he was in ads for The Sunday People newspaper constantly in pretty much every TV ad break around that time - maybe it was possibly that? I don’t think I was aware of him other than that at the time…
