I really tried to enjoy the first series but four episodes in it was just a chore to watch and I didn’t know what was going on or care about any of the characters. It just couldn’t keep my interest.

I read only 30% of people who watched the first series completed it and it’s the reason we now have ads in Prime. They signed a contract to do three series of it.

I don’t want to bring work into my home, plus I like meeting people. The only problem is the commute.

I love summer. I love wearing shorts and t-shirts, swimming in the sea, being outside, and opening the doors like the garden is just another room in my house.

I knew when I read these comments people would be criticising her.

I wonder how many people haven’t realised that the new Mail/Outlook client, the one they’re pushing everyone towards in Windows, actually syncs all your mail to MS servers.

I’m pretty sure that someone, somewhere inside Nintendo will have a Google Alert setup.

I grew up in a time and place with only a handful of TV channels and no internet, and I would still sit and spend my weekends watching absolute shit rather than doing anything. I remember this particular time on Sunday when every week the best thing on was horse racing, so I’d sit and watch it for 5 minutes before checking the other channels, just to come back to horse racing.

My parents grew up before TV and I asked my Mum what they did instead. She said they were mostly just bored.

Despite all the problems the internet does make hobbies way more accessible. Nowadays if you want to learn something you can just Google it or watch a YouTube video. Before the internet you’d have to go out and buy a fucking book. Working on computers in the 90s, I used to spend days or weeks trying to fix problems that I would solve in a few minutes now.

And it’s because you’re an antisemite.

I enjoyed Madness Returns but the main problem was that some of the chapters just dragged so much. If they’d cut it down they could have made a really really good budget game and nothing of value would have been lost. It’s a 14 hour game with 6 hours of content.

He later told BBC Newsnight that the officers had questioned his wife on why he had travelled to the Palestinian territory, who paid for his ticket and which charity he was helping.

A spokesperson for the Met said: “On 16 October, police officers responding to a report that a man was planning to travel to a war zone attended an address in north London where they spoke with one of the occupants.

“Having identified that the man had left the UK for humanitarian purposes, the officers signposted the occupant to current FCDO advice.”

How is that harassment or an attempt to silence them?

What are you implying? BBC has been very careful not to use the terms Palestine and Hamas interchangeably.

I remember when new iPhone releases would make headlines and people would crowd around computers to watch the live announcements. I remember sneaking out of work early once so I could be home in time to watch it with my housemates. Nowadays they’re so boring they barely get mentioned.
