You can get Eurosport via fire sticks any smartbox or smart TV.

So glad we don't pay for sky

Yeah I wouldn't want to rely on streamed tv. Actually that's my gripe for today.

6 months in this house and Virgin still can't offer me a reliable connection or a decent modem. An engineer is coming out on Saturday to try again

Watching a dictator take over.
Silencing government agencies that were set up to protect the country.
Changing of laws based solely on personal opinion.
Supporting torture.
Blatant lying about even the smallest of things such as the size of a crowd that there are numerous photos of showing how many people were there.
The list goes on and it's just the first few days.

Hopefully he won't grope Theresa May in public tomorrow!!!

Newspapers and TV that call it waterboarding. It has s proper name. It's called torture.

I bet there is someone doing more dusting than usual at The Hague.

I got as far as the bus stop today and the driver said don't even bother going to the railway station. What's most annoying is that this broken down train that caused the issue was at 10pm last night, but they haven't even attempted to lay on a bus replacement service, their answer is to tell people not to travel or say that their ticket is valid on Saturday - although they also fail to mention they are not running trains on Saturday, only bus replacement - it's the same every weekend.

I have a ticket for an exhibition at Tate Modern this afternoon. Hoping they may let me swap it for a day next week.

Actually she may be OK tomorrow but not if she's coming back on Sunday.
