Fucking hell. The GPDA should have a field day with this.

Honestly, they'll be fine with the general quality of the second semi final. Also, the Russian song is now favourite to win, presumably because he's good and it's the first Russian song since 2012 that wasn't also a two-faced message of peace and unity.

So hey @GoGo Yubari @fhqwhjosh all the songs are out...

Great race. Was a pretty shocking crash, don't really think Gutierrez was to blame for it either as he'd already started moving left way before Fernando got close. Also, I don't get the whole thing about "would he have been able to escape easily"...it's not like the car was seconds away from exploding. He'd have been stuck in there for a couple minutes max just waiting for them to roll him over. Not pleasant, maybe, but not dangerous. I'd say the bigger problem would have been in the case of Kimi's flamethrower air box. That Haas looks really good in race pace too. They'd looked nowhere near the pace of the FI's/Williams but Grosjean held them off with ease by the end. This could be a season that really gives him momentum again if he does well...

Tell you what, that McLaren could be a beast around Monaco too...

Well that was abysmal.

This is awful so far. It really is a case of "watch the clock, ignore the laps".

Hard to tell with the way the weather played a part, but that's looking encouraging for the McLaren.

Who were you playing it with again?

So Russia have sent a closet gay, Sweden are in the process of choosing right now and are pretty much guaranteed to win again, Australia have sent an awesome former X Factor winner with a good-ish song and Croatia, who haven't qualified in half a decade, are now fourth favourites. Eurovision 2016 is weird.

I'd like it, if it's not taken yet Also: seriously, Stardew Valley. SO. FUCKING. GOOD

To be fair, it does sound like a completely honest mistake. If it's something that has been completely normal - and arguably is for her health - for years, then you wouldn't suddenly assume "oh now it's banned".

Sweet lord, Stardew Valley is incredible. I've sunk most of the day in to it and there's still so much more to do. It's like everything that was wonderful about early Harvest Moon but with added bonuses.

I guess. I just sent out Rufflet and it was over before he could even get a hit in. Also: man, even with Exp. Share off and this minimal healing thing, this is way too easy. Just beat Wattson and the team is as such: Beedrill (Lv. 20), Onix (Lv. 20), Furfrou (Lv. 21), Duskull (Lv. 19), Rufflet (Lv. 19), Remoraid (Lv. 17) Also, the fact you can completely skip the Contests is wonderful.

...didn't Brawly used to have a Hariyama? Because I practically one-shotted him this time and I swear I used to have a lot more trouble in the original games

Finally got round to playing Alpha Sapphire. Ended up getting a (mostly) random team together to give a few Pokemon I've never used a try. Just beat Roxanne, my team is: Level 12 Remoraid Level 10 Onix Level 10 Beedrill Level 10 Duskull Level 9 Rufflet Level 9 Furfrou What I've learned so far is Furfrou is a beast. Using a limited-heal challenge too to give it a bit extra.

They changed the qualifying halfway through a season once before, no?

The main issue is that Denmark are already doing our song and doing it better.

Hulk's had some great drives (the year he should have won in Brazil being one of them) but he's just got a bit of a consistency issue. He seems to be a bit like Kimi in that on his day, he's probably one of the best, but he needs to be in the mood to do it. Hulk is definitely better than Perez, but Sergio has always been a "right place, right time" driver. Ted Kravitz reckons that Ferrari are now only 0.2-0.3 seconds by Mercedes now too, then it's either Force India or Williams in 3rd (both teams believe they're in that position). Toro Rosso are well ahead of Red Bull too.

I liked it and I still do, but Bianca should have won. Joe and Jake have absolutely no personality either. But one of them is kinda hot in a "he'll do" way.

I'd be shocked if they didn't block you from uploading Missingno to the Bank. They do that with other "not legitimate" (ie: hacked) Pokemon.

So the UK chooses its Eurovision act on Friday and they've released the six songs today. Nothing too offensive, nothing that'll win. http://wiwibloggs.com/2016/02/22/uk-six-acts-revealed-for-eurovision-you-decide/127095/ they're all there if you want to have a click through and listen. Also because I'm trying to whore out my work. I spent two and a half hours listening to the damn Ken Bruce show for this. Also, Ukraine's song they picked last night is about the Crimean Tatar deportation/genocide, depending on whose side you're on. So naturally it's creating a dramatic shitstorm today.

GTA tonight anyone?

Is it darker so that it can hide easier during the night races?

I think, actually, that Mewtwo and Mew are banned in that tournament now that I think about it. I'd imagine Wigglytuff and Clefable would be up there thanks to Fairy.
