Without seeing yet, it will never get the complete 180 opinion switch that OHMSS got, but I'm pleased it isn't just universally panned these days. I remember everyone fixated on the car and I always thought it the least of any problems. Q branch 'would' eventually create that, the ultimate gadget.

Yes yes yes. I don't want to go full nerd but back when that first came out on DVD I had a plasma screen and my player was connected via component, it couldn't have been better. I genuinely thought something had broken in my hardware with all the grain in that transfer.

Whether you ask AI to create an image like that based on a description or whether you ask a CGI artist to create such an image based on a description you give them, at the end of the day what's the difference really. As always with first trailers you hope that a tidy up some things before release.

Opening my TL and working down/back through time has been a journey. People making fun of a nail, who has followed you but blocked on Twitter, lightheaded was going to be hard nips. I couldn't wait to see the genesis, and here I am. It's very cute.

It was awhile back but I seem to remember before the 1994 tournament that US broadcasters were desperate to get ad breaks into it somehow and FIFA wasn't having any of it. I wonder if BBC/ITV will go back to studio/ad break for the drinks breaks or if commentators will just talk (being generous).

"AI could absolutely return as Jesus", isn't that the wrong way round? Can't even make mad post about the mad ideas un-mad.

Footballers go on about this as well, can tell you about 80 goals over the course of 10+ years. I used to wonder how bands do it, but at least with them if they wrote it and play it often enough it will just stick. Each snooker shot is unique, it is a mad skill.

I remember having this one advent calendar, the proper old school ones, basically 2 layers of card and you would fold back the door each day to reveal a little picture. Then next year do it all again as if it was fresh and exciting. Only 24 doors as well. Childhood in the 80s, what a rush.

Even when you're young you can tell. Obviously I would have been under 10 when I saw this and you can just tell it is special. Even now I can immediately picture that shot of the Falcon moving right to left as it comes up close to the camera and then away, combined with the score, wonderful stuff.

I am perfectly content being a massive hypocrite when Kyran gets camera and/or microphone time. For all the reasons I could list that I don't think it's right that fat boy gets to commentate/be a pundit, they all go out the window if it's Kyran.

I have issues with motability but people choosing whichever vehicle they want and supplementing the cost isn't one of them. They should champion it, it isn't a charity, it makes shitloads of money every year when they publish the accounts. I agree this change appeases people that should be ignored.

Absolutely. I have no problem with the "here is a vehicle and if you want something bigger/better/even more suitable then chip in". My issues are more with "time is up, pay for another one or pay us more than it was worth to begin with to keep it for yourself". But that's for another day.

Except it's worse than that, right. They know they are not handed out but still pedal the idea. I have plenty of criticism for the motability scheme and I think it does need some changes, especially for wheelchair users, but this change is nothing but a smokescreen to appease and helps no one.

Them saying it's a cut is as much a lie as the people who say it's a freebie/handout. Personally I dislike motability, I don't think it works as well as it could. Especially for those that need a lot of adaptations/wheelchair friendly vehicles. However this change doesn't do anything/help anyone.

As a disabled person I just don't get the new motability announcement. It's so misunderstood and this change of restricting the type of vehicle you can have seems designed to just try to placate the people that want to paint the scheme as some sort of freebie. How about gov championing it instead.

I only ever occasionally see front page if I channel hop onto a next day papers review or something. I would say this one is particularly magazine-ish and not necessarily representative.

That's terrible. Have the dark mode blue sky app on your homepage? Ta-da! You have a front facing torch.

I think it's a bit mad there is a men's day. No denying there has always been inequality between the sexes so whichever men decided they were so threatened by women having a dedicated day that men needed one as well are pathetic. Can't wait for able-bodied day to become a thing, someone will try it.
