"The Superb is supposed to get 47mpg, but I'm getting over 50"
I'M FULLY AWARE THAT constantly singing the praises of a 2.0-litre diesel estate car is a bit dull, but age is knowing what's good and caring less about what's supposed to be cool.

EPIC FAIL ZENOS E10
You can't overestimate the stupidity of the general public,\" wrote the poet Charles Bukowski. It's a quote that, over the years, has been sagely repeated by many people who clearly don't think it's referring to them. Well, Epic Fail has news. You are the public. We are the public. And we're all stupid. All of us. In pretty much every situation, we, the general public, can be relied on to choose the wrong option. Make daft decisions.

Q: CAN A GAMING COMPANY WIN AT LE MANS?
As you read this, I will have just about managed to peel myself from the arse shaped divot in my sofa having spent an entire weekend watching the Le Mans 24-Hour Race. Whether I’m at the track or hogging the television at home, Le Mans is an annual highlight. For someone with an insatiable appetite for motorsport, getting more than half an F1 season’s worth of racing condensed into one weekend is like that time as a kid when I drank an entire bottle of Ribena cordial neat. They practically had to scrape me off the ceiling.
