The Curse Of Jonah Is Lifted!

Guido Fawkes has documented The Curse Of Jonah in some detail, which appeared to be true. I had assumed, for example, that the success of Team GB at the 2008 Beijing Olympics was in part due to The Goblin King's refusal to attend the opening ceremony.

Just before the final Formula One Grand Prix race this afternoon, ITV broadcast a brief congratulatory message from The Goblin King, at which my heart sank. Presumably they didn't broadcast this in Brazil, because, I am happy to announce, Lewis Hamilton has just managed to win the World Championship.*

* As long as he is not subjected to a post-race penalty, as happened to him after the Belgian GP two months ago. Fingers crossed!

Hmm. But it was very close was not it. And we havenot had the stewards yet. Did you see Lewis struggle with his steering wheel?

Good for Lewis... he absolutely earned it.

Sadly he's made few friends on the way (although I'm not sure why people feel so hostile) but now he's achived his dream, I hope Hamilton will work on that negative image that has surrounded him.
