MONACO GRAND PRIX - HAMILTON AND TEAM MERCEDES CALMED THE BULL!

-








A Big Congratulation to Hamilton and Bottas and Team Mercedes, for, again, having made it another 1 and 2 in Q.3 for today's Monaco Grand Prix. 

 A Big Congratulation also, to Max Verstappen and Team Red Bull, for making it to P.3.

 Hamilton had done an excellent and consistent job in his performance during FP.1 and 2. 

 And yet, Bottas' consistently dominant performance in all but the final lap of Q.3, seemed to have assured him of the Pole position for which he had, at least until that final lap, he so earnestly desired. 


Indeed, it might well have been the case that he had been given that X-factor, that bit of luck, without which no racer can seemingly throw all caution to the wind and navigate the hazardous Monaco Circuit, as if he is driving his car on a rail track, or is being 'guided by wire.' 

 And so it was that Hamilton was able to go that bit faster than his team mate, during the final lap, having been given his lucky break, as it were.

 I do not know how Martin Brundle knew that Hamilton could and would have taken Pole, on this most difficult to navigate track; but he did and was proven correct. It takes a racer to know a racer, it seems.


But that was yesterday and the actual Grand Prix is taking place in a couple of hours time. 

 Now is the time of the race, when whoever wants to win the race, must successfully complete a number of crucial tasks. 

 Such as having a great start, finding his way ahead of the other races and keep ahead of them. 

 Having the appropriate race tactics and strategies for this particular race, and syncing them with his team and car coordination, and delivering the winning performance. 


Aided and abetted by the dominant forces which might visit the circuit.

 So, who will it be? Well, it could be any of the top 3 racers on the grid today, or, indeed, several of the others further behind.

 I shall resign myself to waiting to see which intrepid racer will be on the Podium today.  Knowing well that, wishing this or that racer to win, will contribute nothing to the racer-team-car coordination and performance which wins racers

 So, let us have another enjoyable and exciting racer. Go for it, guys!

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.4.

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.1

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

THE EMMANUEL CHURCH SERVICE - GODISM, RELIGION AND THE END OF RATIONALITY?

All or many things are indeed 'bright and beautiful', but did the lord god really made them all? And what about the things which are not 'bright and beautiful'? So, there I was on this dour but still refreshing Sunday, with the heavens or sky enveloped in grey clouds, as far as the seeing eye could see, as the saying goes, when the BBC's Radio 4 Morning Service came on. As much as I am an evolutionist, I still could not help but being spiritually stirred by the stirring force of the 'religious' song which the congregation - from The Emmanuel Church, in Manchester, United Kingdom - began to sing.  You might imagine, wrongly, that this was a case of god getting through to a non-believer, but that is not really the case. It was really more a matter of a person who had a background of having to go to Church and had been indoctrinated throughout early childhood. A person in whom the 'fear of god and fear of hell' had been instilled during th
