The boiler has decided now is a good time to break down 😩

Hot/warm water is currently via the kettle and I'm trying to see if we have a flask anywhere, to keep some water warm for washing through the day e.g. after going to the loo.

Interesting FP1.

Tsunoda ahead of Max for once 💪

And Ferrari look good so far.

But now it's time for a nap.

Only a day or two ago, our local paper announced that Mani would be doing a speaking tour with a date in our area.

And now he's gone.

One of the legends of Madchester and the whole late 80s/early 90s indie music scene...

Hard to believe it 😭

Must remember that #F1 first practice for Las Vegas is at half past midnight tonight.

Which means that "Friday" practice is on Thursday night Vegas-time.

And I still don't understand why they run on such a confusing schedule. It's more akin to Melbourne.

You know you're a Star Wars nerd when you can understand references in another language.

To be fair, "Jedi" and "Padawan" are the same in any language 😁

Although I didn't expect it in an F1 podcast. But it makes sense in the context of discussing rookies learning from more experienced team-mates.

The 2026 World Cup sticker book is going to be a monster with so many teams in it, but I'm going to have to have it 😂

That interview with Andy Robertson put a lump in my throat 😭

Pick a player of the match after that one... Can we award it to the whole team?

So happy for Scotland 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
November 18, 2025 at 9:52 PM
I'm fairly sure I *can* hear the Hampden crowd from here 🤣🤣🤣
November 18, 2025 at 9:48 PM
OOOHHHHHH WHAT A GOAL TO FINISH IT OFF!!!!!!!
November 18, 2025 at 9:47 PM
YESSSSS SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 18, 2025 at 9:42 PM
Denmark are time-wasting 😩
November 18, 2025 at 9:38 PM
I don't believe this... 😩
November 18, 2025 at 9:30 PM
YESSS!!!!!
November 18, 2025 at 9:26 PM
And now Denmark are falling over... 🙄
November 18, 2025 at 9:14 PM
Denmark are down to 10!!

2nd yellow for Kristensen.

Surely this will help Scotland now?
November 18, 2025 at 9:10 PM
That looked *outside* the box to me...

I hope Gordon saves it. Or Hojlund misses.
November 18, 2025 at 9:05 PM
Scotland are half-way there.

(I'm resisting the temptation to put Bon Jovi on 🤣)
November 18, 2025 at 8:37 PM
Aww, that's a shame for Scotland 🥺

Gannon-Doak has been brilliant for them so far.
November 18, 2025 at 8:07 PM
SCOTT MCTOMINAY!!!!

WHAT. A. GOAL!!!!
November 18, 2025 at 7:51 PM
Come on Scotland.

I believe you can do this 💪

Have switched the radio from the Gaelic build-up to the English to make sure I can understand the match.
November 18, 2025 at 7:42 PM
I'm generally crap at trying to watch more than one thing at a time.

So this evening, we've decided that I'll watch the Scotland match and my dad will watch the Wales match.

If Scotland win, we'll probably hear the cheering from all the way down here 😁
November 18, 2025 at 5:56 PM
Typical.

I logged off for dinner and to watch Star Wars and *then* all the drama happens in the Ireland match 😁

And that's *before* we get to Tuesday.

Note to self: get the coursework done early, before the matches kick off.

World Cup qualifiers are being wonderfully daft again 😁
