When you build vehicles with remote functionality, you get security and privacy problems like this. For the love of God, please stop building cars with the ability to lock/unlock, stop/start the engine from an app or a website.

Five years ago exactly I was setting up my Micropolis MOCs in the Lego House Masterpiece Gallery wondering how on earth I had got there, it was very surreal. It still feels like I dreamt it!
So I’m wishing all the new exhibitors a fantastic setup day today - I know they will enjoy all the experiences that Master Builder Stuart & the team have planned for them, & they will make some great AFOL friends along the way.
PS. HOW is it 5 years ago?!

For users of Avanti's West Coast rail line a disappointment;

Despite the rubbish service, legal advice gained by the Department of Transport seems to indicate that the firm has not broken is legal/contractural obligations & thus cannot be stripped of its franchise.

So, that means nationalisation will only happen at the end of the contract (one of longest waits of any franchise)... but also, might prompt the Q.

If this service doesn't break their legal obligations what would?

Retro gamers!

Please tell me: how do you pronounce the word “Psygnosis?”

I’ve always pronounced it SIGH-gnosis and that’s my hill to die on and I don’t care what the official pronunciation is.

So there.

(Boosts much appreciated, I’ve only just found out that the official pronunciation is SIG-nosis and I don’t like it)
