Until a few years ago many documents in shipping were still being sent by fax right into the early 10's. Of course originals had to be sent by courier. When the MSC Napoli ran aground in 2007 I heard first mention of this on the phone, but the official confirmation was by fax.

Six months later.

It’s just a political trick. Blame the president for everything loud enough and voters will trickle to your side.

This is an earlier one that looks even better.

He’ll probably find the time once they finish the “dark, gritty and grounded in reality” remake of the series in a few years time ...

I’m starting to think that Clarkson knew that Top Gear was bound to repeat itself sooner or later and get boring. He started to pull stunts so the BBC would fire him and he’d have the opportunity to do something new with a better budget and more freedom. And the BBC is left with an empty shell they don’t know how to…

Three notable points

Ah Wings ... When you come back from your mission, having shot down the entire German air force, punched the Red Baron through a spinning propellor and brought back the Kaiser in an iron cage, Colonel Farrah would still chew you out like you were despicable vermin ...

Despite his many faults, Clarkson is a very skilled TV maker and has a good grasp of how to bring a subject. This crew doesn’t quite make the mark.

Seems to me that the usual problem with fantasy films is the other way round, not taking itself even remotely serious, no matter the original source material. The problem isn’t that Warcraft is in itself a big cartoon cliché of the genre. The real problem is that Hollywood is a system that is prone to dumb down things…

When I break out all my bricks, and work really hard, maybe, I say maybe, I can make something which is about 20% as good as this one :

I’m one of those people who made the upgrade and all things considered it all went rather well. It’s usually printers that hiss and spit at me and try to raise money to hire a hitman to off me.

Playability? NO CHANCE!! The RAW SPEED of BLAZEMONGER is so WILDLY INTENSE that nobody has EVER beaten this game. You will literally feel WIND AGAINST YOUR FACE as the images WHIP past your glazed eyes. The average player dies in FIFTEEN DIFFERENT WAYS before he can even PLUG IN THE JOYSTICK!!! The best-known high…

Hold on, only a few months ago did she publically out him as Superman, just as he was depowered and started running around in everyday clothes and a Superman T-Shirt and bloody knuckles ... Is this another retcon already ? If so DC is now a permanent Elseworlds story where your favorite character will not last the…

Meet Uwe, the obnoxiously arrogant talentless hack with an inflated sense of entitlement ...

Step 1) Feel inspired to build something awesome after seeing the umpteenth fantastic design.

I had the feeling the formula was getting stale. Do some trek in a remote corner of the world in crappy cars, done to death. Testing yet another hypercar, done, crazy challenge to the presenters they bungle up in every possible way, wash, rinse, repeat. Toss in the celeb moment and the odd bit of news. In the end…

Many years ago, French TV executives in charge of children's programming were looking for cheap cartoons to air. They bought cheap Japanese cartoons like Grendizer and Captain Harlock, which became instant hits. They invested in more shows including live ones like Spectreman and Space Sheriff Gavan. The French…
