Michael Schumacher V Kimi Raikkonen ~ The Best and Worst of the Week
It’s about time we cast an eye over the winners and losers, the things on the up and those on the way down
What’s hot and what’s not
Guess what’s hot this week . . . me - believe it or not
Do read on - it’s not about F1
Yes folks I am officially famous
and not just self-imagined importance either but I’m a famous in the eyes of the King of the Internet as well - Google ! Further explanation after the list - joking aside it’s actually quite a surprise
Awesome
Me ![]()
World wide domination must surely follow - Bwahahaha !
My New Camera
Opening up even more interests for me. It’s incredible to think just how much my life has changed since my brother gave me a quality camera. The impact on the things I do and my days has been incredible
Michael Schumacher
Stepping in to replace the injured Felipe Massa - this should really liven things up - certainly for one race at least. The hype should reach fever pitch. The question is will he beat Kimi Raikkonen
Tiresome
Rain and Unreliable Weather
Had a day out with a bit of a difference today, very enjoyable but impeded slightly by the rain, didn’t stop the location being photographed of an English Civil War Battle - The Battle of Riby Gap !
The Real World
The real world is something that seems to happen outside of my existential being and space - something I’m grateful for - it looks most unpleasant out there. I recommend getting out of it all ASAP - if at all possible bail out - you’ll not regret it.
Seeing the Girl of My Dreams
On Tuesday I saw the girl of my dreams -and no, not Abbey Clancy. Blonde hair, very classy cut, well turned out, slim and attractive. No not 19 either - my age possibly a little older ![]()
Well passed it you’d think
but no she hadn’t let herself go
It was love at first sight . . . so if you were that woman in Morrisons car park, Laceby - Grimsby, on Tuesday please do get in touch ♥
Not only are you surprised to read this dear reader but are also wondering
-
1: What’s the big thing all of a sudden - why her ?
2: How will this woman know it’s her ?
OK: I’ll narrow it down a little further. Her description is accurate but add to that . . . she was on her own and getting out of a . . . metallic brown/grey 2007 Aston Martin Vantage
Check out the screen cap below. It’s a search for my name and shows the top 6 results - naturally I’ve locked out the top 6 ![]()
[Note: this is the standard search and not Google Images]
But look at the images result ! This started with famous things like say, The Mona Lisa or The Pyramids - Google would ask you if you just wanted to see a picture instead. It then expanded to famous people, you’ve probably seen it yourself when searching.
Imagine my surprise to see myself now included
says a lot about this site and the things that go on behind the scenes ![]()
I must now officially be famous then ![]()
Joking aside, this is quite a big result in ’search terms’

I’ve bailed out now as it’s getting a little lengthy
Google Image Consciously Yours

Just remember, fame comes with a price. In the future, when you are sunning yourself in the buff, photographers will snap thousands of pictures and will sell them to the tabloids. Idea: get LB to snap the pix, and he can become a millionaire, sharing the proceeds with you.

Annie,
I’m prepared to sacrifice myself to the baying hounds of the gutter press - it comes with the territory so you’ll not see me complaining on talk shows about the paparazzi (spelling?)
I don’t think LB will be able to take the pictures - his best wide angle lens is not wide enough to get my head in
Best

Juli,
) don’t know anything about him except he like Metallica and Mozart so must have something about him at least.
the 3rd image is another Rod Collins (and you thought I was the only one
The 4th is a marketing consultant of the same name - there is also a notorious Australian Gangster as well who keeps popping up.
I’ve secured the main spot though which is what I wanted and also finally got them to show my actual picture as they used to show a pic of Ashley Lawrence in a bikini and said it was me
All the best
Rod
