Yeah. I just need a Cubone to get onto the final stage, but getting past that any time soon looks to be a no-goer. I was stuck on the "Battle In Ten Raids" bit for about three weeks because I see them so rarely out in the sticks, and that put me way behind schedule!

I’d probably say it was brilliant as long as you don’t think about it, as everyone’s actions then rapidly stop making any sense

Chart wise it’s continued the downward trend (54 in the US. The previous album was 33, the first time they’d charted outside the top 10 since the debut), but with streams and sales and whatnot I don’t know what that really means. They still seem to be selling loads of concert tickets at high prices, which is where the money is these days.

With Kimi out It’s now on between Max and Bottas for 3rd in the drivers championship. Bottas needs to be 3rd or higher and Max needs 2nd with Bottas in 4th or or lower.

Oh joy, another “catch a Ditto” task. That took about three months last time

Might get to go to the Chinese GP next year! Will be my first actual race (only been to testing at Silverstone before!).

Nice! I keep meaning to ask if they’re ever at times people with jobs can go along. I think I’ve had three invites now, but they’ve all been in the middle of a week day.

You probably wouldn’t really remember someone who turned up for a day that long ago (especially in the light of the massive personal events which occurred). If she does meet the whole troop of them together it might be a different story of course.

Must both be for the fight I’d have thought. You’ve got to hear both sides, or Max could simply say anything he liked “He threatened to kill my mother and said he’d only let her live if pretended to push him, which I did. No contact was made, he just leapt backwards!” or whatever!

Why’s it wider than widescreen when it’s made for TV? Have they done it every episode and I just haven’t noticed before?

Yeah. 100% Ocon’s fault, although I suspect a lot of drivers would have left him more space just in case and avoided that happening.

I know it can get very complicated! Mansun released their albums with EMI on a deal that expired very recently, meaning ownership of the music went back to the band, with the lead singer Paul Draper being keen to remaster and reissue. He had to get permission from the other members to do this and also pay EMI to access the master and raw studio output tapes (they still owned the physical items, despite no longer having the rights to the recordings on them). One has now been released on an indie label, but I don’t know how the deal worked with all that!

I'll happily pay for a month to binge watch (as long as there's not a year's minimum contract or something), but yeah, otherwise I'm not interested in the service.
