Lulu: Are you QUESTIONING my cooking? Because if you are, there's gonna be one wedding here and one divorce. (From 'Enos and Daisy's Wedding')

    After a two-week break, the F1 season continued in Las Vegas this weekend. Unlike every other race which takes place on a Sunday, this one was at 10pm on a Saturday night (6am Sunday morning for me!). The Mercedes team surprised themselves by setting the pace in all three practice sessions while Red Bull struggled for grip. George Russell continued the good form by putting his Mercedes on pole. In the sister car, Lewis Hamilton looked capable of joining him, but a couple of mistakes in the final qualifying session left him starting in 10th. The Ferraris of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc were in second and fourth, split by a great performance by Alpine's Pierre Gasly. Title rivals Max Verstappen and Lando Norris were fifth and sixth with Max just needing to beat Lando to become World Champion. The start was fairly uneventful other than Charles sending his car up the inside of the first bend to go from fourth to second. McLaren's Oscar Piastri later got a 5-second penalty for being out of position on the grid. It soon became clear that the Mercedes cars were fastest with George extending his lead at the front and Lewis making his way through the field. Sadly Pierre had to retire his Alpine after 15 laps, but there was some great fighting amongst the other drivers. After the second pit stops, Lewis came out in second and started to chase down George, but George's tires were newer and the gap never got closer than 5 seconds. They finished first and second with Carlos taking the final podium position ahead of Charles in the other Ferrari. Max came home in fifth to take his fourth Drivers' World Championship (and his fourth in a row). Lando finished in sixth with a late extra pit stop to get fresh tires to get the point for fastest lap. Lewis was voted Driver of the Day by fans. Max's championship was won in the first half of the season. After that, Ferrari, Mercedes and especially McLaren caught up and in many cases surpassed Red Bull. This season, seven drivers have won at least two races, which is unusual in recent years, and tellingly Max's team mate Sergio Perez has won none compared to Max's eight. That leaves McLaren 24 points ahead of Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship with Red Bull 29 point behind them. You can watch the race highlights here. There are still two races left with Qatar next week and Abu Dhabi the week after. The Drivers' Championship may have been decided, but the teams want to win the Constructors' Championship (that's where the money is), and that's still just about a 3-way fight.
  3. Yes. Just don't start any new threads after that. I see you've started yet another new thread already today for season compilations - there must've been an existing thread you could've added them to. That must be about a dozen new threads you've started in a month, and most are simple questions that might only get a single post in response if that. The answer to your original question in this thread is that the Central City General in 'Welcome Back, Bo and Luke' was not only the State Courthouse in 'Duke of Duke', but also the State Capitol in 'Uncle Boss'. That can be found in my Hazzard Square thread. Other than being somewhere on the backlot that no longer exists, I'm not sure if we ever found the building's exact location, but now I'm pretty sure I know. It may be a couple of days before I get the pictures together to post my solution.
  4. Roger would know, but there were definitely a couple of JOHN Deere diggers/bulldozers. Now looking for a "K".
  5. Skipper, can you please refrain from starting a new thread each time you want to post simple questions and comments. It just means that any answers get really spread out and push the older, more rigorous threads way down the list. You also have separate threads for announcing when someone has uploaded episodes of season 5 and 6 to YouTube, but you started yet another thread to ask whether the uploader and the person who made a watch list were the same person. Please try to find an existing thread to post in if you can, and maybe start a single thread for the whole series with questions you have so that at least all the answers will be in one place. At the moment we're getting loads of threads with only one or two posts in them, and that's not the type of forum that visitors want to search through. Always remember that forums and Facebook are completely different entities and need to be approached differently.
  6. Guys, do we need to go back to elementary school? So far this round has gone A, B, A, B, C, D, D - that's not the way I learned it! "Ma Harper found another way to continue her boys' EDUCATION."
  7. DEPUTY Enos Strate So, we doubled up on "A" and "B" this time!
  8. Hogg BROADCASTING Company Thanks, Boss.
  9. Looks like the same car, although it was Rosco that nearly hit it at about 8:30 into the episode. Bo: Hey, Rosco. Look out! Rosco: No, no. You're not fooling me with that old chestnut. I assume it was just driven by some random Hazzardite coming in the opposite direction.
  10. "WRAP your little WRINKLED gums around that plate of goodies." Rosco feeding Flash BTW. We missed out "S" this time around.
  11. I can't help much. They come up on ebay from time to time. It looks like one was sold for $150 back in June.

    Well, the drivers really earned their money in the wet conditions in Brazil on Sunday. Many also complained about the bumpiness to the newly resurfaced track. First, the delayed qualifying which took place in the morning. Several red flags and changeable weather caught out several drivers. Lewis Hamilton went out in the first session and Max Verstappen couldn't complete his fast lap due to a red flag, so they started 14th and 17th respectively once penalties were applied. Last week's winner, Carlos Sainz, crashed his Ferrari in the second session to bring out another red flag. At the front, Lando Norris put his car on pole ahead of George Russell. Yuki Tsunoda did a great job to put his RB into third place. The highlights here are worth watching. With Sunday morning qualifying and the race start time brought forward to try to get a better weather window, some teams had a lot of repairs to do in only a few hours. It was also the third race in an Americas triple-header, so some teams were also running low on spares such as front wings. Williams were unable to repair Alex Albon's car in time, so he didn't start the race. Lance Stroll went off in his Aston Martin on the formation lap and also didn't start. Back at the grid there was confusion over the aborted start procedure, but in the end no penalties were given. When the race finally started, George overtook Lando by the first corner while Max started to make his way through the field. Both of the leaders stopped for tires on lap 29 (of 69), but unfortunately for them, most of the other drivers stayed out and there was a red flag a few laps later which allowed the others a free pit stop. Shortly after the restart, Max took the lead and ended up winning by nearly 20 seconds. I'm not a fan of Max, but it was a great drive from 17th to 1st in terrible conditions. The other two podium spots were taken by the Alpines of Estaban Ocon and Pierre Gasly. That moves Alpine up from 9th to 6th in the Constructors' Championship and could boost their funding by $50 million next year. Lando left the track a couple of times and could only finish 6th. The gap at the top of the Drivers' Championship in now back to 62 points in Max's favor, and with only 86 up for grabs in the last three races, it look like he'll win his fourth championship. The race highlights are here. We now have a two-week break before the concluding triple-header which starts in Las Vegas.

    News from Sao Paulo ahead of tomorrow's Brazilian Grand Prix: The McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris qualified in first and second for the sprint race, followed by the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc and the Red Bull of Max Verstappen. They held their positions for most of the race, but Max eventually passed Charles and Oscar was told to let his team mate Lando past just before a virtual safety car (VSC) was called when Nico Hulkenberg had to stop his Haas on the circuit with a few laps to go. Max later received a 5-second penalty for speeding behind under the VSC and was demoted back to fourth. You can see the highlights here (NB. it was posted before Max's penalty was confirmed). After Max's double penalty last week in Mexico, several drivers have commented that it was about time he was punished for his dangerous driving. He will also get a 5-place grid penalty for tomorrow's race after having to change engine parts. Oliver Bearman will replace Kevin Magnussen all weekend in the Haas as the latter is ill. Oliver will drive full-time for Haas next year. Qualifying for the main race was supposed to take place this evening (6pm UK time, 3pm local time), but was postponed until tomorrow morning due to heavy rain. The circuit is known Interlagos which means 'between lakes', so rain is not uncommon there. Apparently, the official name of the circuit has been 'Autódromo José Carlos Pace' since 1985, but I don't remember ever hearing that name until I read it just now.
  15. You see that little lump on your neck? It's your head. USE it! Boss to Rosco.
  16. According to Google, she was born on September 30, 1982, which makes her 42.
