Happy #ChineseGP week!
#F1 has been racing in China for three decades, but it only just seems to be gaining a foothold there — and in this week's YouTube video, I'm digging into why!

Idiot plot
Nobody has ever been so lyrically yet thoroughly excoriated as in this piece. And yet, few people have ever deserved such a complete dismantling as the Prince formerly known as Andrew

FUN FACTS:
🍖 the animatronic Paddington consumes forty pounds of raw meat per day!
🪄 Before every performance, the warding circle around the stage must be carefully re-engraved!
🔪 After each matinee one lucky theatregoer is randomly selected to meet Paddington!

A simple "yes" would probably have sufficed.

This is entertaining. We are sending someone interesting to Eurovision with an actually fun track. A small ray of sunshine.

Ok, fine, Honda may have an alternative application for this year's PU then:
I think we can all agree that, ideally, an engine shouldn't shake apart any and all components that it's attached to, but especially not the driver.
I really enjoyed it, but there were a few episodes I found a bit tedious and ended up just reading a synopsis instead, the musical episode was one of them. Plus I did get fed up of everyone having to have some sort of tragic backstory, once I got past that though, plenty to enjoy!

A while ago @spraypopmusic.com invited people to remix their track Hammered In An Airport and I started to have a crack at something. Can't remember why I was aiming for a sort of 90s generic dance anthem but anyway, here's a snippet. Should have sent this to @ricardoautobahn.co.uk at the time.
Never underestimate the likelihood that the bot you're communicating with is actually some bod sat in front of a workstation several thousand miles away!
Yeah you’ve definitely won Bluesky today 😆
Snippet from YouTube screenshot of video: "New for 2026! Straight Line Mode and Overtake Mode" by Chainbear. Alongside the video information there is a little icon of a person with some audio waves coming from them and the word "dubbed" next to it.
Mine's telling me it's "dubbed", but it's doing it automatically/by default and it's definitely now coming through in stereo (having been RHS only).
PS Good to have you back on video!

Well, that explains the erratic delivery times.
