  Do you like opera? Do you like Metal? If you answered yes to either or both of those questions, you will love Therion's classic rock opera album. It is a lengthy listen at over three hours. However, there isn't a wasted moment or any filler tracks on "Beloved Antichrist". Every song hits the mark. The soloists, duets, choir, orchestra and band are all on top form, and the compositions are stirring & top-notch. Give it a listen. I'd love to see...

  I boosted a post from the Python Foundation earlier. I made a point of reading their linked blog before I made the boost. I noticed that the foundation's blog is hosted on Blogspot. It used to be that I saw links to Blogspot all the time. Now, I can't remember the last time I was on Blogspot. Is it that blogs have declined so much? Is it because I don't use Google for searching? Is Google killing Blogspot, like so many other projects before? Is it just me? #blogs

  Autocorrect creates more problems than it solves. Either that, or someone used Alexa to "speak" their review. I was researching grease guns and came across this review: "To Greece the nipples on my motor home a the bite on the grave door." To be fair, many people pronounce grease just like the country. For the life of me, I can't think what a "grave door" should have been. 😃

  A huge pro-independence majority at Holyrood, and wins for Plaid Cymru and Sinn Fein signal the end days of the British Union (I hope). #Yes #independence #Ireland #Cymru #Wales #Scotland

  Anas is correct, Scotland needs change. That's why independence is the only answer. #scotpol #independence #yes #Scotland

  I'm hearing that filming of the new Highlander movie is on-going. Locations including Eilean Donan and Isle of Skye. Extras being paid £100 per 2 hours. I will be interested to see what they do with this Highlander reboot. Rumour is that they are re-using the Queen soundtrack, which is probably a good thing. I'm not sure how Henry Cavill and Russell Crowe will cope in the iconic Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery roles (respectively). We'll see. #movies #films #Highla...

  What does the v-sign mean? I've pondered this question since... forever. I'm meaning the v-sign formed by using the middle and index fingers (other fingers curled), with the palm facing towards the viewer. Victor de Laveleye invented the v-sign meaning victoire or vrijheid. This was later popularised by Winston Churchill. Are people using the v-sign now, still meaning victory or freedom? That seems unlikely. Perhaps the v-sign has lost any meaning, and is just being mindlessly...
