Well, to be fair, it's not always obvious to the inventors and manufacturers themselves that their harmless inventions may have military potential.
Geoblocked annoyingly.
It's great. We invent this amazing technology that means we can access any media, anywhere and then stop people from accessing it because they are in the wrong anywhere.0 -

Yep...even the cat has the same one!
Joe was not supposed to be Joseph, I wanted Benjamin or Samuel but that didn't go down well, ex hubby wanted something very silly so we compromised (although my preference was for a different spelling of Joseph)We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Aaah, a beeb clip. Reading this ironically coincided with hearing about the restructuring of the BBC. Someone was asking why they should pay for the world service through their tv licence when it is the government's job to do it.
Yesterday I heard someone on R4 saying that if they offered the BBC as a subscription service outside of the UK at the same price as the licence fee in the UK they'd make a fortune from expats.
Would you buy the BBC on subscription if you had a choice Gen?Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

I'd probably be prepared to pay a broadly similar amount to the licence fee for access to Match of the Day, the Radio Five football commentaries and TMS as an alternative to paying for Foxtel (Sky) so yes. Most of the rest of the output I didn't watch in the UK and am not interested in now. Generally I don't really watch TV as such, I absorb whatever Mrs Generali is watching and ask her to change the channel when something starts getting too tedious. I watch the odd thing but not so many.
I drew the line at Game of Thrones. Yuck. What is it with TV and rape these days? Since Game of Thrones came on every TV show aimed at adults seems to want to titillate by showing women getting raped. I hate it.

I started watching Narcos at the weekend, a Netflix series. It's notable that I've watched the first seven episodes and Spoiler Alert nobody has been raped so far.0 -
I am not particularly into GOT and have never watched it, but Mary Beard's new series about Rome, which covers some of the same themes, is absolutely gripping.
Sorry Gen, what is TMS?Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Today, I hired a private detective. Very good she is, too.
Honestly, I'll pay you the £10 that you lost on my cr*p Eurovision logic. You don't need to hire a private detective to track me down;)Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?
