It's just annoying that it's being 'sold' as happening immediately (it will take years for new notes to enter circulation) and that it was done without consultation (the BoE asked the public what should feature on the new notes). It's all very silly.
The station itself was great, though. Used several times as a location for filming the X-files back in the day.
I stayed in a very sketchy area of Vancouver about 20 years ago near Pacific Central Station. The hostel room flooded twice, there was a building site next door that was wick with rats and lots of very high, shirtless guys aggressively pan handling tourists. Good times.
The bastards. I have recently achieved that milestone but I still find it offensive that the equipment at the gym informs me of it for some reason every time I want to do a set programme.
I just drew some bats for someone on the internet I'll never meet or interact with again, though, and that was kind of special...
Do be fair I do chat total inane shit to my partner about 95% of the time, I'm sure she really loves it...
I think... I think I want to be a chatbot?! Is that a job? Just answering peoples inane questions.
oh no, this is too much fun.
He also has great car/engineering content on YT. He's just bought a RR Merlin engine to restore.
On the off-chance you have a .ac.uk email account you can log into BoB, looks to be already on there (you don't need a TV license to use it)!
Mackenzie Crook has made a couple of great shows that kind of fit this mould - Detectorists which is very gentle, his version of Worzel Gummidge was great too imo and his new show is also really interesting.

I think they've just bought land behind the house. The others still have long gardens and you can see the end terrace still has an equivalent garden... And then the field behind.
All the outside shots are AI. If you look on street view they actually look very marginally better irl.
I also have this anxiety every day with Power BI which prompts you to save EVEN WHEN NOTHING HAS CHANGED. The absolute worst.
Tbf my 'these yank tech companies can sod off' was more a general vibe than just re this article.
I tend to avoid bombastic national pride but the British right to walk randomly into the road at any juncture is genuinely one of our greatest traditions and these yank tech companies can sod off.
As someone who grew up just a few miles from the YSP, these people do realise that West Yorkshire is IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY! it is literally one of the easiest places to get to unless you think 'easy' means 'in London'.
My god these takes make me think I'm losing my mind. It is a game. A take I saw yesterday said 'it's two dishonest people beating 20 honest people 😔' but this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what the show is imo. It's a murder mystery, like a glamorous version of Cluedo...
My least favourite part of the whole series is the dinner party where you hear all their back stories. I don't think it should matter, it's a murder mystery game, not the X-factor.
My grandmother's house that was a council owned property didn't have central heating well into the 2000s. My brother also had a council property that had central heating but was coal fired, again into the mid 00s.
Oh don't get me wrong, the tech is nowhere near there when it comes to true augmented reality glasses that don't make you look like a total dweeb. The meta Ray Bans just seem to be tailor made for perverts, though.
I get that, but I can do it with my phone with almost no inconvenience/delay. On a basic security/privacy level, the idea that it would be constantly recording isn't the best either.
I don't even have an issue with augmented reality tech per se (though your point about it being potentially very distracting is a good one) but the ability to record interpersonal video secretly is just fundamentally wrong on a social/societal level. It just engenders distrust and suspicion.
Well quite. There are many many other options and 'hidden spy camera in Ray Bans' isn't it.
I cannot see any reason to have a semi hidden camera in glasses like this unless you're a spy or a creep. Why do they even exist beyond that?
Yeah don't get me wrong, the fact we don't have an independent delivery system with the state of the USA right now is a worry... The guidance system isn't fully integrated into the US system (ours still uses stellar navigation rather than GPS) but I still reckon it's dodgy to be so reliant on the US
To be clear, the warheads are absolutely not leased from the USA. They're British designed and produced. The delivery system (the missile) is the thing we buy in from the Americans.
Not again!
Also, Musk hasn't done any 'science' in his life... He's a hype-man, not a scientist.
I'm about to turn 40 and confirm it doesn't get better.
