Canadian Grand Prix - 31 Years ago.

Was the only F1 win that Jean Alesi managed to get in his long career. It was also his 31st Birthday. (June 11th).

Was the last race that an V12 engine won and likely a stat that will never change.

Ferrari overtook McLaren with most constructor wins.

(Also a Ferrari has won at the Canadian Grand Prix at least once every decade.\*).

Was the first double podium finish for Jordan.

Other Jordan facts, they got their first points at the 1991 Canadian Grand Prix and it was a double points finish with a 4th and a 5th with Bertrand Gachot and Andrea de Cesaris.

They would only get their only other double podium at the 1988 Belgium Grand Prix which holds the record for most crashes at the start of a race, where Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher got a 1-2 and who was on the podium joining them? That's right Jean Alesi. This would also be his last podium).

Michael Schumacher got pole and it was Renault's 100th pole position.

It was also heavily rumoured that Michael Schumacher signed a contract to join Ferrari after this race.

[Request] Cabin Pressure BBC Radio Comedy question...

Cabin pressure is a very funny BBC Radio Comedy series (and yes that is Benedict Cumberbatch). The basic premise is that in a divorce, Carolyn gets her ex-husband's business jet and runs a charter airline. The ex keeps wanting to buy it back as we find out in the last episode (and stop reading here if you don't want spoilers....)

That the wiring of the plane is made of solid gold.

Now the plane is fictional (a Lockheed McDonnell 3-12) but it's close to the size of a McDonnell 320. With the plane has 16 seats.

So the math questions....

How much gold would be in the plane if all the wiring was gold wire instead of copper?

What would it be worth? (As the ex husband character offered 250,000 UK Pounds for it at one point). As the Gold would have likely been in the United Kingdom, he would have to turned gold bars into wire, coated the wire with some plastic suitable for an airline and have paid some people to rewire the entire plane do the job would it have been worth it?

How much extra fuel as a percentage would it take to fly a plane with gold wiring? If it could have flown at all?

No renew option for grandfathered plans?

So I have a 2GB, 100 minutes plan as I don't use much data and barely use the phone mainly as I am on WiFi and other phone alternatives exist. Barely use 20 minutes a month. Managed to use the data as our router died and got a message saying "Need more data? Reply renew to renew your plan", and I have done this before but this time it comes back with the useful message of "Tello: Invalid option. These are your available options:"

So I am aware that Tello have got rid of some of the options and old plans are grandfathered in but it's annoying that I have to wait for the renew date, or change "plan" for minutes I am never going to use or spend money on data that I will barely use and then lose the remainder when my plan renews in a few days...

My wife has pulled a large number of these plants that sprout up quickly. Is it a tree sapling or a weed?

Is there any good way to remove them more permanently?

I know that there is lily of the valley growing as well as the nice if invasive wild garlic type plant. Any idea what the two rogue plants growing in the first picture and what the 2nd and 3rd picture might be?

In Illinois about 75 miles south west of Chicago.
