Don't be saying that over here - Ireland usually play in green! BTW. England beat Ireland 2-0 earlier tonight.

You need a few more golds to catch us up - Great Britain is currently 11 ahead of the US! England are playing Ireland at football (soccer) tomorrow in Dublin, so that'll probably more watched over here.

I'm not sure how many people predicted the outcome of today's Italian Grand Prix from Monza, especially after yesterday's qualifying. In-form McLaren locked out the front row of the grid with Lando Norris ahead of Oscar Piastri. George Russell put his Mercedes in third, followed by the Ferraris of Charles LeClerc and Carlos Sainz and the other Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton. Championship leader Max Verstappen could only manage seventh place. Lando had a good start, but unfortunately continued his record of losing the lead on the first lap when Oscar and then Charles overtook him at turn 4. George Russell got pushed wide at the first corner and also suffered early damage to his front wing which had to be changed at his first stop. McLaren looked like they had the pace to win the race, but the newly-surfaced track increased the tire wear, and most of the top teams went for a two-stop strategy. With little to lose, Ferrari decided to gamble on a single stop, and it paid off with victory for Charles LeClerc. He's now won two races this year: his home race in Monaco and his team's home race in Italy. Obviously, the fanatical Italian fans (the Tifosi) were overjoyed and Italy now has their own 'King Charles'. McLaren finished second and third with Oscar ahead of Lando. Lando snatched the point for fastest lap at the end. Carlos brought the second Ferrari home in fourth ahead of Lewis and Max. Rookie driver Franco Colapinto brought his Williams safely home just outside the points in 12th and still on the lead lap. Lando Norris has closed the gap to Max Verstappen to 62 points in the Drivers' Championship. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren are now only eight points behind Red Bull with both their drivers now scoring good points. Ferrari are also getting closer. You can see the race highlights here. The next race is the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku in two weeks. Following today's race, Haas driver Kevin Magnussen was given two penalty points on his licence for causing a collision with Pierre Gasly. That takes him to 12 points within a calendar year, so he gets an automatic one-race ban. Haas haven't said who will replace him in Baku.

American F1 driver Logan Sargeant has been dropped by the Williams team and will be replaced by academy driver Franco Colapinto for the remaining nine races of the season. Sargeant joined the team in 2023, but only scored a single point from 36 race starts. A heavy crash in the final practice session for last week's Dutch Grand Prix meant that he couldn't take part in qualifying, and seems to have been the final straw for the team. We'll get a chance to see how Argentine Colapinto does this weekend in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

It reminded me of the police car that got flipped and spun in the chase through the mall in the Blues Brothers. I wonder if Josh Berry broke his watch?

I don't do social media or keep up with celebrity gossip, but I'm surprised that no one has mentioned John Schneider getting re-married last month. As most of you know, John lost his third wife, Alicia Allain, to breast cancer in February 2023. He has now married Dee Dee Sorvino, the widow of 'Goodfellas' actor Paul Sorvino. You can read the LA Times article about their marriage here. I've just looked up Dee Dee's bio on IMDb - her birth name was Denessa Purvis Benkie, so maybe she's related to Rosco! Here's a short interview I found:

Or as they actually said: Boss: "Get me out of here." Luke: "You all right in there, Boss?" Bo: "Rosco?" Rosco: "I'll let you know when everything stops spinning."

Formula 1 was back this weekend after its summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix. Since it returned to the calendar in 2021, Red Bull's Max Verstappen has dominated his home race with pole and the win each year, but McLaren's upgrades seem to be working better than Red Bull's at the moment, and Max had to line up behind Lando Norris on the grid. Lando's team mate, Oscar Piastri started in third with George Russell the first of the Mercedes cars in fourth. Ferrari were sixth and tenth, but Lewis Hamilton failed to make the final qualifying session and also got a grid penalty for impeding another driver, so started 13th. Alex Albon had a great qualifying for Williams to initially put his car in eighth, but had to start from the back after the floor of his car was found to be illegal. Lando continued his unfortunate record of poor starts from pole and was overtaken by Max into turn 1. Max stayed ahead until Lando retook the lead on lap 18. Lando then held the lead over Max until the checkered flag to take his second win and the point for fastest lap. He ended up with a winning margin of 23 seconds - the sort of lead that Max used to get. The Ferraris seemed to have had better race pace than they showed in qualifying, finishing in third and fifth and separated by McLaren's Oscar Piastri. George Russell slipped back to finish in seventh with Lewis Hamilton catching up to eighth. McLaren are now catching Red Bull in the Constructors' Championship, but they may be regretting swapping their drivers in the last race as Lando could've been closer to Max in the Drivers' Championship. You can see the race highlights here.

I'm glad y'all are trying this again, but I think I'm going to rule myself out due to the time difference and my early schedule.

I think these are all the episodes with Daisy's name in the title. It was one per season except season 6 where she got three!

I certainly don't already know the answer. It might be the weekend before I get a chance to look into it properly, but don't let me stop y'all researching it too!
