The worst thing to do would be an inorganic botch job on here to fill a gap when there’s no need, you can read that content elsewhere.

Anyway, it’s not an automatic guarantee of engagement or interaction. It’s purely a hack move.

I’m happy to use Reddit if I feel I can’t find anything to read on Kbin. You are allowed to use both you know?

That’s a very black and white way of putting it. As long as you’re an adult who can tell the difference between fantasy and reality, and you’re not spending hours obsessed with it I don’t think it’s unhealthy. The way you phrase ‘avoid it completely’ makes it sound like you’re going out of your way to avoid it already.

(I think the problems are coming through with the generation being ‘brought up on porn’, and thinking real sex is like it is in the videos online but that’s a different story really.)

I’ve only heard of Mary Seacole out of the black Britons from history we’re expected to know of.

I actually googled the musician and he has a relatively interesting story but it’s also not at all surprising people don’t know who he is today - he had one piece which was very popular called the Feast of Hiawatha which according to Google was played regularly until 1939 and then doesn’t seem to have been revived. Seems he was much better regarded as a conductor.

Anyhow, historically this country’s establishment has made it hard for black people to get famous until the 20th century, something that this academic surely knows. She’s either naive or deliberately skewing her results for headlines by asking for names from a time when her top rankings include a Roman Governor!

No way. For a start you have to have some idea of where you’re going.

Also you have to be in charge of a vehicle that doesn’t run people over. Though I guess that technically depends on how many shifts you want to do

The picture is not flattering either, she looks haggard and confused. And what’s going on with her hand? Begging for a private eye bubble

Overshadowed by what came after but definitely still stands up today. I love ‘Just’ (the video for that is awesome too!)

I think a lot of the 14th pictures released so far generally have him looking shocked/clueless/mildly confused… But yeah that one is definitely not flattering!

Late to the party, sorry but… It’s an awful serial. They had a decent idea, dropped the ball completely, and did it properly with The Mind Robber a few years later.

I’m looking forward to seeing what RTD does with the toymaker, I feel sure he’ll make it into something interesting!

If it’s a permanent fixture it could be a Britbox killer for me… I suspect it’ll just be for the anniversary period.

Still great news though!

This is about misinformation on social media plays a part in war and journalism

I mean that shows the self-awareness that he knew that that was part of the humour really!

Summer Lightning was one of my favourites. You can’t go wrong with that one.

I do quite enjoy Wodehouse for Jeeves and Wooster and Blandings although one unemployed summer spent a lot of time binge reading them and they become quite repetitive!

They’re doing a separate crusade against disposable vapes. If they’re going after smoking I’d imagine they’d be trying to encourage people to vape to quit.

It’s all hypothetical because it’s highly unlikely he’ll still be in power to put this plan in to action come the next general election

8/20 here. Proud of getting some right. Really shocked about the answers to some!

A tricky test indeed

My sister still lives there and from what she says it’s not too difficult. Some VPNs work, others are on the ‘no longer work’ list and at big events they mysteriously stop working.

She’s not technically minded, she’ll just be using an app.

Have updated comment above 🙂

If anyone wants the Radio Plays I can share a Google drive link

EDIT Here you go

Includes original radio series and the noughties radio series (adaptations of books - not as good but has the original cast and is entertaining)

The 70s records - essentially the commercial version of the first radio series - has the Disaster Area sequence in the for ‘Black Ship’ instead of the shapehifting aliens.

The Dirk Gently radio series with Harry Enfield. Inferior to the books but the most faithful adaptation.

Typical jocks.

Funnily enough gay sex was fine in ancient Rome (as long as you were the dominant one) but having sex in the light (whether natural or candle light) was seen as a massive taboo.

(Amongst the upper and middle classes anyway, I doubt the majority of people cared)

Paywall free link

I mean I do think that whatever encourages people to read is great, but I know I’m getting old when I read in the article like this:

Filming themselves finishing a book in a single day against a backdrop of hundreds of them on shelves is all part of the performance, and viewers will be extra impressed if the book looks thick.

And just think “wtf?”
