Fencing was fun, I finished 5th at the Coventry Open and the only people I lost to were veterans, who, as we all know, are evil. (The vets are not evil, they're merely sneaky and accurate.) I managed to frustrate one opponent to the point that she rushed at me, pretty much straight onto my blade, for my last three hits against her. Very pleased with that. Other than that, it was the usual problem of there's the people I can beat, the people where it's sometimes me winning, sometimes them, and then the people I can't even get hits on. Most frustrating. The only good thing I can think of is that the people where it's a coin toss between us now goes up to people who are ~70th in the country, rather than a few years ago when it was people at ~ 100th.

Things in RL have done odd things. Or rather good things, that have led to odd things, which require listening to of Alanis Morissette. We're talking threat level red wine and Ironic.

Oh FFS sake BBC commentators, make your mind up. At the end of last year it was all "we want shiny new drivers, not old and washed up like Rubens" and now they're annoyed the new drivers are inexperienced and do stupid, crazy things an experienced racer wouldn't do.

And yeah, Coulthard, it's not like you were ever the cause of first lap incidents - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VdJYDHdtek

Also, yeah, a German shoves someone off the line it's a crime, Hamilton does it, it's racing.

The incredible Hulkenberg strikes again.

AND he isn't even evil! For now anyway.

Oh he will be. (Actually, I'm assuming he's playing someone with a British accent, if he's playing an American he might not be evil for once. Not counting Bond films.)
