Just watched this on Netflix and laughed out loud a few times. Language is a bit risqué, but that’s sort of expected from the Pythons these days.
I think its great that given their ages, their irreverence for authority continues and reminds us that some things shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
There’s been a few other Python recordings released today as well, so go ferret around on Netflix for some great comedy.
Enjoy!

I’ve just finished watching the tenth episode of Lost in Space that was released on Netflix on Friday.
Wow!!!
Series 2, and they will have to make one, cannot come soon enough in my opinion.
Story was different from both the original series and the film remake, but the key themes are all there.
highly impressed with every single production value and as I say cannot contain my impatience at wanting to get at series 2.
c’mon Netflix, don’t keep us in suspense ?
Really looking forward to seeing what they do with this.
I must be one of a few who liked the film version from 1998 (yes, 20years ago), and equally enjoyed the original from the 60s.
Roll on this evening!!

GDPR will become active on 25th May 2018 and affords individuals various rights against organisations with respect to their data, which is long overdue. The last legislation that covered such items in the EU, was 20 years ago and technology, let alone society has changed a lot in that time.
Then we get to the rights of celebrities, I’m not going to delve in to whether someone is or is not a celebrity, lets assume all such named as celebrities are, at least for this purpose.
Celebrities know that they will be a focus for the public, and by extension various media who are either generally addressing news, or are looking for the celebrity exclusive of who has broken up with whom or what the latest fashions will be.
Equally some celebrities guard their and their families privacy and we rarely see or hear of them because of the care they take.
So the issue of when the BBC somehow gained knowledge of a proposed raid on Cliff Richard, Cliff is rightly upset about that and how the BBC covered it.
My personal view is that they should not have been tipped off, in preference to any other news organisation, but that when in the know of the details, they should and could carry out an investigation or follow up, within current legal boundaries, as it is in the public interest. That is, both the interest we have in celebrity, but equally about a possible law breaker, especially given the allegations that were being levelled at him.
As the article says, it could have wide ranging implications, and I think we should all follow it because of its links to our own personal privacy as much as that of celebrities.

If you own an Android phone, you’d be well advised to read the article below.
In summary, sometimes you may miss a security update and your phone will hide that fact from you.

Whilst I believe in healthy skepticism, the theories which almost seem conspiratorial in nature, suggesting Russia was not the instigator of the Salisbury nerve agent attack, were to me just that – conspiracy theories.
The Guardian article confirming that the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons confirmed the poison was a Novichok, all but closes the door on it being a Russian perpetrated attack.
The only remaining question, in my mind, was whether it was state sponsored or a rogue agent or agency. Based on how the Russian news agency has responded, I’d err on the side of state sponsored, even if Putin was not the one to sign off.

I watched Greg’s “You Magnificent Beast” show on Netflix last night and kept roaring with laughter.
He delivers his material so well, confident, conspiratorial and at times with a deadpan look that he just can’t help breaking and laughing out loud because he knows what he’s about to say is going to do the same to you.
His family must at times both hate and adore him, because of how he involves them in his shows, but I am so pleased he does, because it shows how normal most families really are ?
Please enjoy his show as much as I did: https://www.netflix.com/title/80158875?s=i&trkid=13752289
When you read the article below, any current gamer should not be surprised given the amount of effort some companies put into their games.
Rockstar’s GTA series was always highly regarded, but GTA 3 and onwards, when they switched from top down to “normal” 3D perspective marked the transition to superstardom in the gaming world.
The stories are fantastical, sure, but very well crafted, joined together and still give opportunities for doing things off the main story line.
Indeed, any of the AAA style titles, regardless of genre, offer that flexibility.
Can’t wait for GTA 6 ?

Social media is pervasive, this blog is only one channel. We’ve all experienced different forms by now, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and many, many more.
One of the biggest in the US, 4th, based on the link below, is Reddit. Personally I think it is also one that’s had the most negative press, as the article outlines yet another instance.
It only goes to show how much kore care we all have to take in validating sources that we reference in our social media journeys.
Read and see what you think…

Addendum:
And in a twist, there is more social media related news linked to the Florida shooting. The TV host has rightly lost their job because of their negative use of social media about a Florida shooting survivor. If you’re on social media – use it as you would a conversation face to face.

Lois McMaster Bujold is a fantastic story teller. The series of books revolving around Miles Vorkosigan and the universe he inhabits have always struck me as well crafted and emotionally laden stories.
She really shows empathy both with Miles and those around him, making all the characters feel real, even the baddies seem to have valid thinking, even if of course twisted by our own standards.
I’d never focused on Miles’ disabilities as I think he towers, in spite of his “real” height, because of his character and indomitable spirit.
The review below takes a different perspective, but feels accurate nonetheless.
Read the books and see what you think.
