New blogpost: Review of the BFG at Chicester Festival Theatre.

This fantastic performance of Roald Dahl's story has, alas, finished its run in the UK. If you are in #Singapore then you are in luck, but be quick - it's only on for a couple of weeks.

Theatre review: The BFG

We don’t get out to the theatre very often - it’s the sort of thing that falls away when you become a parent. So when we were offered tickets for our family to see a stage show of Roald Dahl’s BFG co-produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Chichester Festival Theatre, we jumped at the chance1. The main stage of the Chichester Festival Theatre is a superb venue, packing up to 1,300 people into the space while keeping a feeling of immediacy and contact with the performers. We were lucky enough to be within the first few rows, but I know from previous experience that the back rows do not suffer thanks to the lack of pillars and the way the seating is wrapped around the stage.

so-called #AI #cameras (more likely simple pattern matching rather than #LLM) are deployed in #Sussex in SE #England to catch #drivers who are #speeding, not wearing #seatbelts and/or using #mobilePhones at the wheel (interestingly these ones are not attempting to detect #DUI compared to others tried out in SW England and already widely used in #Australia , maybe because this isn't that easy to do (especially when sober drivers may be swerving to avoid #potholes)

Currently quite frustrated: I am trying to submit a report on anti-social driving (dangerous to me while cycling) in Crawley to the Operation Crackdown site but it fails every time I try to upload the video evidence. When it fails, I have to remove the upload and that takes minutes before I can try again. I've been at it for half an hour at least so far.

I hope it's not a case of them making it as difficult as possible to submit reports...
