Yes, RIP - pioneers of the rock 'n roll industry.

Samsung is warning customers to avoid discussing personal information in front of their smart television set.

The warning applies to TV viewers who control their Samsung Smart TV using its voice activation feature.

Such TV sets 'listen' to every conversation held in front of them and may share any details they hear with Samsung or third parties, it said.

Having watched Gogglebox I pity anyone eavesdropping on such conversations.

You 'aint heared ours yet!!

I just saw on the news that there's a Cricket World Cup coming up.

Now I'm not a cricket fan but seriously I would've thought there would be more in the media about it.

Have you seen this Hercules?

Hadn't seen that before - quite funny, but I think the post in response to the helicopter story is funnier:-

Police killer Kenneth Noye to get a parole hearing re the road rage murder he committed in 1996.

Words fail me.

I frequently pass the scene of the murder.

He's been in prison for 19 years, a world with no concept of rehabilitation is a very sad and savage one.

Maybe he'll convince the parole board.

But I think as a society either we take life or we don't

But taking hope that's quite unsettling.
