Hey, Spike, how does that sort of decision go over with the fans? It hasn't happened for a while in F1, but drivers have been disqualified for technical infringements after the race, sometimes many hours after it, and it always seems a shame that a great result can be marred by something that the driver knew nothing about. It's always better when the result is determined on the track.

This week's French Grand Prix saw Ferrari's Charles Leclerc start on pole again, with the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez behind. Charles' team mate, Carlos Sainz, had to start in 19th after penalties for changing engine parts. Lewis Hamilton got a good start from fourth and got past Sergio. For the first third of the race it looked like Charles had the better of Max, with Max having to pit from second. Then, just a couple of laps later, Charles lost the rear end of his car and ended up in the barrier. Carlos made good progress through the field, but had to pit for tires with 10 laps to go. He also picked up a 5-second penalty earlier for an unsafe pit release. In the end it was a relatively easy win for Max, who now has a 63 point lead in the championship. Lewis improved on his last three third place results by finishing in second, and his team mate, George Russell, jumped Sergio after a late virtual safety car to join Lewis on the podium. You can see the race highlights here. Next week it's the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The episode was called 'The Price of Tomatoes (S4E25), and Denver played a tomato famer called Titus Purcell. It originally aired on March 1st, 1968 (incidentally, Cathy's 14th birthday). I'd have to disagree about Denver's look - as Briscoe Darling, Denver had a mustache, whereas Titus Purcell had a full beard with a little color in it, so he looked like a younger Uncle Jesse. You can see the whole episode below: As far as I know, neither 'The Andy Griffith Show' or 'Gomer Pyle: USMC' were shown in the UK. I'm familiar with the former through HNet, and the latter only after I investigated Jim Nabors' appearance in 'Cannonball Run II' as Pvt. Homer Lyle (another Cathy connection, although I don't remember Jim and Cathy having any scenes together). It may surprise (or as Gomer would say, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!") many Americans that some of their biggest shows didn't air much if at all outside the US, so the references in movies are often lost on us over here. I found an article called 7 huge US pop-culture touchstones UK viewers just don't get which lists some of them. 'Gilligan's Island' is #1 and 'Gomer Pyle' is #7. Obviously things have changed with the internet giving us access to clips and whole shows, but we still have to look them up.

I think that might be beyond my Photoshop skills, an it's probably just as well - I may never get the image out of my head!

I have a female friend who knits, so i had to ask, "Voulez-vous crochet avec moi?"

They look good, but I can't imagine they're very practical. They remind me of the picture I saw of a person who'd crocheted a face mask for Covid protection!

Following on from Stingray: Puppets Stingray was a British children's science fiction television series from the 1960s which was filmed using puppets or marionettes. You can watch the intro here. The Opel GT is a great looking car with headlights that flip over. They did one a few years ago on 'Wheeler Dealers' - there's a clip here for anyone unfamiliar with this car. Opel was a European subsidiary of General Motors for many years. They sold cars in the US through Buick dealers under the Opel name from 1958-1975. Since then, many other Opels have been sold in the US, rebadged as models such as the Saturn Astra, 5th & 6th generation Buick Regals and the Cadillac Catera. There's more info on Wikipedia. It seems that General Motors sold Opel (and UK sister company, Vauxhall) to the French PSA Group in 2017. In 2021, the PSA Group merged with Italian-American group Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) under the name Stellantis. Opels are still sold in Ireland and the rest of Europe, although they are rebadged as Vauxhalls in the UK.

I'd consider myself a fan, and I couldn't remember which scene it was from until I watched the episode. Luckily, in comes in the first five minutes. Some quotes stand by themselves - they're either funny enough in their own right, or there's enough in them to explain the situation. Others just need a little lead-in. I'd hope that this forum is accessible to all visitors, whether they're die-hard fans or people with just a passing interest in the show.

How many times do I need to ask for context with quotes like this? It means nothing without knowing who or what Bo is talking about. For reference, he's commenting on Cooter's driving after he flips the stolen police car.
