❄ Are you a woke bloke? (MoM approved)

I believe replicas of these devices are available on specialist websites. :+1::+1:

Had to laugh at Hat Trick Productions. You may not know them but you’ve certainly seen stuff they’ve produced. They own the rights to Father Ted and have decided not to proceed with the Father Ted musical as long as Graham Linehan is involved.

Graham Linehan is the co-writer of the original series, creator of the popular IT Crowd and the not-so-popular Count Arthur Strong.

So it was with amusement when I saw them running a live stream of the best bits of Father Ted.

I feel like Father Dougal asking the question about why it’s okay to eat fish on a Friday now when it wasn’t before. If he’s so bad now, why are Hat Trick Productions so happy to presumably make YouTube cash off his older content?

For the record, I think Mr Linehan has bee very brave but doesn’t always put his points over in the best way. I watch his YouTube channel a lot and he’s clearly a passionate man with his heart in the right place.

As for the musical, I’d go see it, but I’d much rather see a continuation series with a new lead character. Always thought Dylan Moran would be ideal for it.

Brilliant character though. A bit marmite though.

I think Linehan regrets the situation he put the comedy in.

Stonewall’s latest guidance to employers

Let gender fluid staff have two email addresses so that they can use the one that best represents the gender they are identifying with on any given day

What could possibly go wrong with that

The gentleman in question does at least set his stall out early doors;

Quebrada stated “I’m not a woman, I’m a transvestite,” going on to say: “let’s be honest, there’s no such thing as ‘a woman.’”

Carrying a bit of lumber there too not that should detract from his achievement :roll_eyes:

Surely that’s an affront to all people who identify as a woman. :open_mouth:

Oxford uni are decolonising their Computer science degree course

Can our resident computer geeks shed any light on the colonial aspects of Java or C++ that need removal

Well I have read some articles on it and I am still confused.

Yes we have got rid of terms such as master and slave (primary and slave), black lists (deby lists), white lists (allow lists) but I still don’t understand the “western influence” on computer science that needs removing!!

Genuinely bemused by this. It’s not a major part of the advert and apparently they all used sun protection - still, the minority mustn’t be ignored.
