Never really had the money to play arcade games as a child, but occasionally played Gauntlet. Addictive but was designed around getting as much money out of your pocket and into the machine.

I am very surprised at the numbers. It's a Daily Express poll, yet the "Don't know" option is stuck at 0%. Normally there is at least 5% of Daily Express readers who consider the question, consider the binary yes/no option and then respond with 'Don't know'.

I think you are mixing up "forces" and "army". Our army was never our priority, however we do have 4 subs with nuclear armaments, and two carriers with a surface fleet that can project power. (I accept that we are waiting for a full flight of F35s, the carriers have had "issues" etc).

Having worked in Local Govt for many years, I suspect that this will evolve as follows. 1. Initially a great idea. 2. Consultants get involved. 3. This is not what I imagined. 4. This is a mess. 5. Consultants walk away. 6. Communities are worse off.

I am wondering whether there is a middle ground where support services such as HR, Payroll, IT could be centralised, but the public facing / public impacting functions remain local.

I will be very surprised if this does not translate into posts being made redundant. In fact something has gone very wrong if this doesn't happen.

I agree that you'll only ever drive an F1 if you are rich (Hamilton is an exception), but there is a subtlety to the strategy and tactics. I find it fascinating.

Ok, my initial instinct was to hate that....don't mess with 70's classics! But that is awesome. Loved that.

I think whether a military vehicle can withstand an artillery strike or an anti tank projectile, or even an attack from a drone, really does matter. But we will just have to diagree on that point.

I'd like to see the specs of those vehicles. I suspect that they are no match against an anti-tank round or shelling.

That was absolutely brilliant. I particularly like the deer antler series of photos. Photo 1. Deer antler. Photo 2. Deer antler and Baxter licking his lips. Photo 3. Deer antler in Baxters gob. Love it!

I might have enjoyed The Purple Album had I not heard the originals first, but sorry, just think Coverdale and the band lost the bluesy swagger and were just a shouty rock band, and I prefer bluesy to shouty. Which is a shame because as a teenager I worshipped Whitesnake and DC.

Never liked the Bolins guitar sound, but I admired his playing. Would have been interesting to see where they could have taken this. But I agree it is a monster of an album (in a funky way).

Genuinely curious. Can you name the organisation or the sector they operated in and what was the result with the staff experimenting with the BBC micros? Regardless, quite like the sound of your employer...very forward thinking.

I had a CBM64, but always thought the Dragon had a really good and unique selection of text based adventure games, and I envied Dragon owners for that. I loved adventure games. However recent feedback suggests that the Dragon was a bit crap. Shame.

It's a difficult listen for me, but Love is All is beautiful. I must try harder and listen to it again.
