If you were on the ISS and listened to The Proclaimers' I'm Gonna be (500 Miles), in the time the song takes you will have travelled........1,000 miles. (Source - What If? by Randall Munroe - and no, I've no idea how this particular nugget was discovered!)

We're trying to apply the rules sensibly and leniently, but the 'no politics' rule gets flouted a lot. Rules will apply as stated from now on, so please adhere.

Sorry guys, no politics.

The 4k release calendar at bluray.com keeps filling out. There may not be many manufacturers, but the format seems in reasonable health to me.

I can scarcely believe that this song will be 35 in February... View: https://youtu.be/ZWmrfgj0MZI?list=RDZWmrfgj0MZI

And they say poetry is dead...

Apologies - not paying full attention!

There are a couple of outliers in he £200+ bracket sold on eBay, though they were described as serviced rather than repaired. That might be semantics. But given that most went for £120-130, I'm not sure I could be bothered to spend £94 on the chance of making £30 or so. Ones listed for parts...

I'm trying to find that funny - I really am - but the pain of having Marti Pellow's voice and eminently punchable face going round in my head is making it difficult! Why are earworms almost always songs you hate?

The Giulia is held in very high esteem by the motoring press, especially in Quadrifoglio form, and none of the praise suggests it's aping the German opposition - more that it goes its own way, and does so very well indeed.

Having picked up a knee injury, I've just had to spend 25 minutes in the GP's reception listening to Magic radio. Never has something been so inappropriately-named. I'd imagine this is aimed at old people's homes. If I ever hear Love is all Around again it'll be too soon...

Have I got News for You is back tomorrow - great. Seems like there's no extended version though. Boo....

The Score on 4k - a hackneyed basic plot in terms of a con doing one last job, but well-done. Of the three generations of heavyweight acting talent (Brando, De Niro and Norton), the young pretender definitely steals the show.

Go on, do it!

Whilst I don't want one, I think you'd be hard pressed to say that the Lotus Evija looks like a Tesla, or the Hyundai iONIQ 5N - the last of which does have virtual gears. The auto press seems to think that EVs are getting better and becoming more engaging, but I'm hoping my ICE will see me out.
