Tom Hardy 'arrests fleeing motorbike thief' in London. Quote: 'A spokeswoman for the 39-year-old actor, who has also starred in films including The Dark Knight Rises, The Revenant, Inception and Legend, declined to comment.' I don't think she quit understands what her role as a 'spokeswoman' involves. |

I'm sure it mentions it in that article but there was a Kickstarter for this a year ago and it came no where near being funded. It does make me wonder what appetite there is for the game... Saying that, I'll be buying it. Make sure you download the Night trap theme tune in the mean time! |

So, after hearing that Trump wasn't going to do the Correspondents' Dinner (quelle fecking surprise, man with no ability to laugh at himself), we decided to watch the last George W one. God, it's a terrible situation where you start feeling nostalgic for the GWB years. |

I went to the Brecon waterfall country at the weekend. Normally when I go to a national park I'll just head for the biggest hill but I decided to go here instead. It's a really beautiful area with rivers and falls surrounded by forests. The kind of place where I'd be quite happy to return to with a bottle of wine and good book on a lazy afternoon. |

Rob Newmans Neuropolis, radio 4 - Rob Newman misunderstanding elements of brain science and then explaining why the scientists were wrong to think what he mistakenly thought they thought. And he's still using s very old photo of himself. Twat. |

Seriously Mali - worth you having a listen and getting cross at his bizarre pseudo-science anti-science approach. In the current episode he misunderstands what the Turing test actually means and then rails against why that incorrect understanding is wrong and scientists are stupid because they think the Turing test means a computer has proven there's nothing unique or special about human consciousness, then says with utter certainty that one could never achieve the transfer of consciousness from a brain to some form of hardware because of the effect of the endocrine system on brain development in teenagers. I mean, WTAF. I used to think Rob Newman was brilliant, but these days he's become a sort of well spoken anti-vaxxer equivalent. Experts, eh? Who needs 'em! |
