Pavlovian Formula 1 and Hollywood Monsters

9am on a Sunday and the bass-line of The Chain wakes every F1 fan up and drags them into the spare room to watch the Malaysian Grand Prix (thanks to Scooby Doo commandeering the main TV in the house), and had a wonderful thought.
The cgi-based graphics running during the BBC theme are far in advanced [...]

The Stig Plays The Chain

Doesn’t matter about the rest of the coverage, it could come from a shed in Brisbane with a batty old commentator and a marijuana fuelled ex-driver refusing to pick up the microphone; the British F1 fans will be resting easy after the first 65 seconds of the BBC coverage…

Hearts Are Not Breaking All Over The UK, It’s The Chain

As I just tweeted…
@MikeChannell YES the BBC really did need to confirm they were using The Chain! Otherwise I Would Have Predicted a Riot

Monaco Grand Prix Circuit Walk

For sight-seeing [...]

Off to Monaco For The Week

Yes the life of a jet-setting blogger and podcaster continues, as I prepare to cover the Global Messaging Conference for Corante in Monte Carlo. The usual events are building up, including a Monaco Mobile Monday, which I should be attending, and the usual industry events, but just decked out with a touch more glamour.

Kilts on Hangar Straight

No it wasn’t me!!!
if it had have been me, I’m sure I would have got a lovely picture from the 7650 and had a “Your Symbian – It’s Crap” T-Shirt on, with a huge banner giving the URL of Vexed. And I would have stopped everyone except Justin Wilson.
