That's borderline contra GDPR as they are passing info to a 3rd party without permission....

I've been on sites that open up hotels in the background without any hint you want one... Easyjet comes to mind. Another high quality brand.

2025 Tesla Cybertruck: Regular Car Reviews
2025 Tesla Cybertruck: Regular Car Reviews YouTube video by Regular Car Reviews

I think it’s great that this reviewer gave the Cybertruck a fair chance and posted this honest review which gives the Tesla the exact amount of praise it deserves.

Always loved that it was Ronnie Barker as the Judge.

One the best comedy series of all time imho.

I won't subscribe to any newsletter that is on or remains on Substack. Their pro-right stance is so clearly documented.

I hope my friends on Substack will once again consider leaving the service that gives a platform to abhorrent people like Andrew Tate.

This is a rare opportunity.

We only add about one person to the team each year and only plan to ever have 10-12 full-time people on the team total.

Reading — David Hughes A list of the books I’ve read over the last decade or so, cunningly arranged in the order I read them. Starred titles are those I highly recommend ☆

A quick update to my Reading page with another Bond continuation book.

I'm now reading something quite different - The Crow People by Mark Stay who I saw interview Ben Aaronovitch earlier this week.

No, I asked question about film and TV and casting. He answered about casting but kind of skirted the other. Or I’m reading too much into it.

He was very funny. And openly lazy which was refreshing 😂

Extreme Noise Terror / KLF at The Brits 1992 (MACHINE GUN) YouTube video by Earache Records

Whoever edited this is a genius.

The contrast between Simon Bates, Kim Wilde and The KLF plus Extreme Noise Terror is why this performance still resonates across the wastelands of popular music today.
