@Derek41121979 @AlvinStarburst If this is true, prove it, call the Police

Chuck Dixon on why The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is so bad:
"What Amazon is doing to Tolkien is an abomination. The people doing the work obviously don’t understand the original work. They are adding elements that are very 2022 to it that five years from now are going to appear laughable.
They’re taking a timeless tale and setting it basically in our contemporary zeitgeist. And it’s just wrong."
How right is he?

@exQUIZitely BASIC on a ZX Spectrum, then on a BBC-B, dabbled a bit in COBOL then fell away
Amazing times though

I got my C64 in 1984. One of my earliest memories is the strong desire to understand how it worked. Games obviously had the highest appeal, but I was also curious about what lay “behind” the screen - how things functioned, how they were connected. Not so much from a hardware perspective, but more from how programs actually worked.
Naturally, in those days, you would read about programming in magazines, and they often included several pages of code that you could type in to create "your own" program.
None of those programs were overly complex or particularly great, but that wasn’t the point. It was simply fascinating to see that if you wrote this, then that happened. If you tweaked a value here, a color would change there. Add an extra parameter and the result looked even better - or it all fell apart, depending on what you changed.
I remember one of the earliest programs I wrote in BASIC was a number guessing game. You had 5 guesses and started by entering a number between 1 and 100. The program would then tell you "too high" or "too low" relative to the random number it had generated for that session. What a truly epic experience for a 9-year-old at the time!
I changed parameters that were easy to identify in the code, such as the number of tries you had, the range of the random number, and - what made me especially proud - I even modified the computer's replies. Instead of just "too high" or "too low," it would now give more precise feedback (e.g. way too high, too high, a little bit too high, etc.).
All of this sounds extremely trivial from today's perspective, but it was a playful way to explore what was possible. I continued writing programs in BASIC and later dabbled in Turbo Pascal. It never went much further than that, but it remains one of my best memories from a time when computers felt more fascinating and accessible - they made you curious and invited you to be creative.
Did you ever do this back in the day? If so, what were your first steps? BASIC, Pascal...?

A man who sued Celtic Football Club over historic abuse claims has received a five-figure settlement.

Henry Cavill and his longtime partner, Natalie Viscuso. They aren't particularly looks-matched.
Most would agree he is noticeably better looking than her.
Yet examples like this are quite common.
It highlights how men frequently prioritize loyalty, honesty, and compatibility over purely superficial looks.

As The Scottish Sun reported yesterday, Digby Brown Solicitors announced that Celtic FC have settled a five-figure compensation claim for abuse by Celtic Boys Club general manager Frank Cairney on a Boys Club player in 1989.
The man - now in his 50s - said:
"I've finally been heard by Celtic". He added, "Abuse isn’t like getting injured - you can’t just limp on until you get better.
It’s nearly all mental and the worst of it is a paralysing feeling of shame - something I’ve been dealing with for nearly 40 years.
It’s been tough to get here but I’m proud of myself for not giving up and I’d really encourage others to not give up on their own hopes for justice either."
In 2019, Thompsons Solicitors gave notice that they intended to make an order "seeking permission for group proceedings to be brought by or on behalf of various clients against Celtic Plc, Celtic Park, Glasgow G40 3RE."
In 2023, judge Lord Arthurson granted permission for a Class Action lawsuit to be brought by 28 survivors of historic child abuse perpetrated by Celtic Boys Club founder Jim Torbett and general manager Frank Cairney.
In April 2025, with nowhere left to hide and despite years of claiming that the Boys Club was merely a feeder club, therefore a 'separate entity', Celtic FC issued a half-hearted and insincere apology, saying they were "very sorry" for the abuse and admitted "contact" between the feeder club and the main club.
In September 2025, Celtic FC settled 24 cases of historic child abuse for a combined seven-figure sum.
Further claims are being pursued, relating to abuse by Torbett, Cairney and Celtic FC kit man and Boys Club coach Jim McCafferty.
