MONACO GRAND PRIX 2018 - GRUELLING BUT NOT BREATH-TAKING!

Image
A Big Congratulation to Daniel Riccciardo and Team Red Bull, for a well-earned Monaco 2018 Grand Prix! Big Congratulations, also, to Sebastian Vettel and Team Ferrari, and to Lewis Hamilton and Team Mercedes, for having made it to P.2 and P.3, respectively. So, what can or should we say about the Monaco Grand Prix 2018? We probably could say alot about it.  Indeed, Sky's team of commentators said alot about it, from every  perspective, covering it with great panache, and, as they are required to do, try to make up for any shortfall in the requisite level of excitement and entertainment.  In a way, it is probably a bit ironic that there was, during this race, so much for them to have made up for. Why? Because the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix, notwithstanding Daniel Ricciardo's and his Team's commendable, if not exceptional achievements in holding onto the lead of the race and keeping it for the duration of the race.  With a car which, the informatio

JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE UNDESERVED ASCRIPTION OF VIRTUES ON TO GOD. THE END..

And how is it, you might ask, that those who preach about the 'power of love' and of 'God being the ultimate source of Love.'  Can fail to realise that, in arguing that 'love and power' is something  out or up there , emanating from a mystical deity called God.  Humans are dis-empowering and deceiving themselves. Or are being deceived by the prophets and preachers of the religions which supporting that worldview? Here, again, is where I see Bishop Curry doing a disservice, in first claiming for 'love,' power which it does not possess.   And, secondly, seeking to support the argument that 'true love' is God and of God. As such, instead of advertising himself as much as he had done, during the wedding. By making his sermon so much about the Christian faith.  He failed to focus more on the love of the Duchess of Sussex for the Duke of Sussex, and vice versa. Love is important, but it is not the biggest or necessarily the most pow

JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING THE LIFE YOU HAVE, TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY. THE END..

So are the less fortunate in these very poor and unfortunate countries are trapped in their, at times, near absolute poverty stricken habitats.  While the more fortunate ones are able to 'escape' or attempt to escape to the 'greener economic grass' abroad, by emigrating, if they are allowed to do so. All of which impress upon us, who are more fortunate in being blessed by providence, at least, for now, how important it is for us to live our lives as best we can.  Not profligately, indulge in wasting the very resources which we have more abundantly, but prudently and considerately.  Being informed by the realisation that there is always a balance to be struck.  Whether it be done by us humans or what we call 'nature.' Wherever there is an abundance of something, there is likely to be a scarcity of it somewhere else.  As neither the Sun nor the Moon shines down on and blesses us all at the sametime. But each in its turn. That we do not, or t

MONACO GRAND PRIX QUALIFYING - THE MIXED FORTUNES OF DRIVING ON THE EDGE!

Image
A very Big Congratulation Red Bull and Daniel Ricciardo, for having driven on the edge of fate to take Pole position during the Qualifying stage of the Monaco Grand Prix!  Congratulations also to Sebastian Vettel and Team Ferrari, for having placed their car on P.2.  And to Lewis Hamilton and Team Mercedes, for having placed Car 44 on P.3, for Sunday's Grand Prix, around the exceedingly demanding Monaco circuit. Nobody can doubt the unique challenges which the do or die, and relentlessly precipitous Monaco circuit mercilessly throws at each of the drivers, irrespective of their level of experience.  Regardless of whether they are having a good day or not. This venomous snake of a circuit demands that all who drives on it should be fearless, should be hyper alert, have nerves of steel and be blessed with faultless concentration.  It requires each driver who dares to drive along its slithery back to take his own life and welfare into their hands and drive

JUST A THOUGHT - IF DONALD TRUMP IS A SAINT OR MESSENGER. IS HE FROM GOD OR THE DEVIL? PART 3.

That he might, indeed, be the 'anti-Christ'; the Devil incarnate. Observing the President in the company of other world leaders and leaders of other nations, is, indeed, a study in 'diplomatic awkwardness.'  Even amongst him 'friends' and those who are considered his natural constituents. President Trump projects and image of 'I do not belong here.'  Of  a 'fish out of water'. Of boredom. Yes, there is the perception of the President being a much hated and despised President.  But one to who the other world leaders must do obeisance and show grovelling respect, despite their obvious hatred for him and/or what his Presidency represents for the world. But let us return to the question of whether the President is latter day prophet, and of who and what his message might be. It is clear that the President and his administration are probably the most unconditional supporter and protector of the State of Israel.  That amongs

JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE WEDDING OF MEGAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY, NOW DUKE AND DUCHESS OF SUSSEX! PART 1.

Image
A Very Big Congratulation to the organisers of the Wedding of Prince Harry and his bride, Megan Markle, on Saturday 19th May 2018, at Windsor Castle.  Probably needlessly to say, it was a most resplendent and regal ceremony.  Like clock work it seemed to have gone, with every participant performing his/her, their allocated roles with the required decorum and skill.  It has been reported that the ceremony cost £32 millions, which, it seems to me, is money well spent, especially if we were to compare the pleasure it brought to people, with the pain and destruction, say 40 Cruise missiles fired on Syria.   Considering how the event captivated the attention of, and massaged the morale of the British people.  As well as the attention of hundreds of millions of people all over the globe.  None but the most cynical of whom, can have failed to extract some enjoyment, some humility and mirth, from a wedding which was so full of colour, symbolism and spectacle. Thi

NICOLAS MADURO'S MURDERING OF THE VENEZUELAN NATION AND ITS PEOPLE THE ..END..

But, of course, it might be the case that Mad Maduro is not at all mad; it might be that he is just selfish and evil.  That he does not give a damn about Venezuelans and their poverty, even as supporters of the Chavezistas revolution leaves the country and others fall by the wayside.  No, he is just an uncaring aspiring demi-god, whose primary concern to remain in power.  To remain in power at any cost, even if it includes him forfeiting his own life, or being incarcerated, at some future date, when he is turned on by his victims. Until such a fate catches up with Nicolas Madura, it is the ordinary people of Venezuela, who are fleeing the country in their hundreds of thousands, if not millions.   Who has to pay the high price of Madura's maligned and disastrous attempt to govern them and their country. The people whom he has betrayed, and is now grievously oppressing. So, yes, it really seems that Nicolas Maduro is either delusional and/or is simply bad, in brin
