F1 cars. What is their purpose? They go round and round for 2 hours and going nowhere, consume huge amount of fuel, cost millions to make and maintain and cost more millions to pay the drivers for going nowhere.

Much like normal cars then, except normal drivers have to pay to go nowhere useful.

Didn't it used to be said that F1 technology trickled down to every day cars, anti lock brakes being one example?

Anti-lock braking systems originated in the aircraft industry.

Cricket.

Cricket is sensible:
You get someone to throw a ball to you, which you then hit as far as you can and someone else chases after it, brings it back and repeats.

GOLF on the other hand IS pointless:

You hit a small ball as far as you can with a strangely shaped stick, THEN you chase after it and hit it again!
And the whole point is to try to LOOSE it down a hole!

MADNESS!!!

Life.

You spend much of it trying to avoid problem after problem, then you get old and die.

I never drive mine, and Mrs D is wheelchair bound. Certainly mine is pretty pointless.

Or even worse, chumps who use their job title when its irrelevant. For example, a complaint letter to M&S about a cardigan that turned out to be contaminated with Novichok signed off as...

"John Smith, Director."

More pointless than a deckhand on a submarine.
