I found Dr Phil Hammond's thoughts on it very interesting. He did an interview with Private Eye a few months ago where he basically argued the trial was mishandled. Well worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tgzG0Sj_6s

Nice. It's funny the way blue skies and sunshine makes everything so much better. Got away to a mate's place for Saturday and Sunday. Ostensibly I was there to help him install some boat electronics on his sailing boat, but when we got that done, we had some nice food and a few beers. As a full-time carer, it was lovely to get away for a night and clear my head a little.

I think it's even more sinister than that. The implication in the article is that they didn't want them in the UK because they could be forced to give evidence in court about possible UK special forces war crimes.

Where are you, James Bond, now that we need you?

Came here to suggest Operation Mindcrime as well.

Fair play to you for doing this.

I knew this was going to win, since Robot Pat can't be defeated, he shoots lasers from his eyes.

If you're seriously considering buying a car, spend £5 or so and get a comprehensive vehicle check done on its registration. Something like https://www.theaa.com/vehicle-check. There are lots of places that offer this service. It'll let you know if it was written off or has outstanding finance. Compare the chassis number with the one they list on the check, so you're not buying a ringer. At the very least, if it does show anything you can use it to knock the price down.

Yes. 365 Days to write a song, yet I know I'm going to leave it to the last 2 hours.

I admit I'm a little disappointed we don't actually have to write and record songs.

Would you be able to notice much of a difference between this and a £60 Chinese handheld running Fuse? Plus the Chinese option will emulate pretty much everything up to Dreamcast or so. I know the screen is smaller, but something like a Powkiddy RGB30 has a square display that'll be a better fit for a 4:3 display. Good luck to them but...
