Per the online map, there are 16 exhibits at the Uni so went there first. 2 didn't exist (both had signage telling you what should've been there); saw 11 & were underwhelmed so gave up on the last 3 in frustration. WP also something & nothing; so after 3 in the centre, caught a bus back underwhelmed

Don't bother going to either the University or Wellington Place zones; both were highly underwhelming.

I don't agree? There's four sets of basketball medals at an Olympic Games, Britain still being able to qualify and compete for three of them is hardly an Armageddon outcome.

I'm kinda staggered you think this is the Armageddon option from FIBA, when FIBA have left BBF to still oversee the vast majority of their competences. It seems to me a pretty mild punishment by FIBA.

Well that would appear to be FIBA's perspective.

But FIBA has said the BBF still has a job to do with regards oversight of 3x3, Senior Women and Junior Basketball. It's only Senior Men where their oversight has been withdrawn.

Week 13 = Thanksgiving?

The massive benefits of broadband internet have to be accepted alongside the downside that for the first time in human history anyone can mass publish anything at any time

More availability to more stuff more of the time is true for both good stuff & bad stuff. If you want the good, suck up the bad

Don't really agree that public policy & civil society can inoculate against this: assumption has to be that whilst broadband internet is freely available (& the toothpaste is out of the tube on that; so I'm not advocating undoing that) than ever more people will publish whatever they want to publish

Does it make all that much difference if they can't speak in person in an era when they can broadcast online anyhow?

It's very easy to take a photograph of one thing and make a story out of it (whether you be either the traditional media or social media).

It's not as bad as it's being made out to be.

I once got asked if I knew I had "an unusually difficult shaped head of hair to cut" and was immediately apologised to in advance of the forthcoming haircut as it "would probably not be to my satisfaction."

I am still pondering what answer I was meant to give to that question.

When many of the folk who used to buy suits on the regular started working from home for some of the week, they then didn't buy suits so regularly, so in turn fewer places sold them.
