We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.

What better way to bid a warm farewell to Silverstone than a brilliant British GP eh? Although pretty much uneventful at the front, at least it's not another Button victory. The real excitement was in the middle or end of the pack, Hiedfield battled with Alonso early on, then mid-race had quite a duel with Hamilton. For 15th place. Imagine that, the reigning champion and a double world champion battling out of their skin for a non-point position. Good stuff that. The other world champion in the field, Kimi, managed to get in the last point paying position at 8th. Stowe Corner, Becketts and Copse, we'll miss you dear.

Top Gear is back on! Have been missing the lads for a bit. Can't wait to see what's in store this season. Clarkson and co always have something up their sleeves. Six months without Top Gear is simply too much.

Contemplating if I should be flying back for the holidays. Asked a couple of mates who already travelled back from the UK and Australia about the health checks and other precautions conducted by the MOH. I think there's just to much to miss out on, besides, quite a waste of time to remain in Melbourne with nothing to do. So now my options are to buy my own oxygen supply, buy out the entire business class, swim back, or just get a decent mask and hope for the best.

BUT.. There's quite a different perspective about the whole situation here. Not a single mention about the flu on The Age's website, while The Star has NOTHING BUT coverage of the virus. To get latest updates about the situation in Australia visit the official Ministry of Health website. Health Emergency - Update bulletins for H1N1 09. It's weird in a way when the toll reads AUS 2000+ cases v MAS 50+ cases. So far, 1 casualty. I quote 'He had a number of pre-existing chronic diseases in addition to being a confirmed case of H1N1 Influenza 09. '
