*Cue the music from Flight of the Sorcerer*

This is a 90-ish minute immersive experience. As well as a full cast of actors and a puppet android, there are ✨celebrity✨ voice cameos.

And songs! So many songs!

Pre Show

I'm always interested in how shows build excitement before a performance. We were encouraged to arrive early to stash our coats (a very reasonable £1 each) and soak up the atmosphere.

It mostly works! We're deposited into the pub with lots of texture. As well as multiple screens displaying a variety on in-jokes, the actors hobnob with the guests. Nifty!

Show

From a technology perspective, the show is astonishingly good. Laser display boards mixed with puppets, dry ice, surround sound, and a hundred little decorations to notice. The actors are witty and talented improvisers. They did well with the matinée audience who needed a little warming up. There's a bar halfway through the experience where you can buy a (typically overpriced) branded beer - but I'd recommend having a warm up Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster in the bar before the show.

Wandering around the Vogon ship is a sonic and visual delight. The chaos of running between the sets feels utterly on-brand for H2G2. The sets are lush and, as mentioned, the technology integrates well with the story.

So, about the story.

There is no continuity in this franchise. Canon is noticeable by its absence and you should throw most of your preconceptions of plot out of the window. This isn't a cosy retread of the books you loved, nor is it a something entirely new. Essentially it is a series of sketches ripped and remixed from various versions. It kind of felt like there was a missing segment in the show - characters disappeared (to go perform for the next set of participants) and then reappeared.

If you have even a passing familiarity with H2G2 (in any of its forms) then I think you'll enjoy it. If not, I think it is a little scattershot. 90 minutes isn't enough to build up much of the complexity or tension in the drama. That said, it is rather jolly fun and surprisingly tender.

Post Show

It isn't quite "exit through the gift shop" but not far off. I remember how the end of the Alien experience in the Trocadero had audience members running out into a public area - here it's a gentle stroll into the bar.

Earlier this week TfL launched its latest Business Plan setting out what it hopes to achieve over the next four years. The last time they published a four-year Business Plan was nine years ago, the hiatus because intermediate governments weren't willing to agree a long-term funding deal. Now we can finally look forward to the near future with a reasonable degree of certainty, at least for now.



According to the Mayor, these are the TfL highlights for 2026-2030.

• New affordable housing and jobs with the DLR extension to Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead
• Modernising the Tube
• Cutting congestion
• Improving safety and accessibility
• High-quality walking and cycling infrastructure
• Eliminating road death and serious injury

The first of those won't be done by 2030, sorry. A lot of these are just "we're going to make things safer", which I'd hope is always the case. A lot of what's in the plan is 'things intended to happen in early 2026' because predicting the immediate future is easier than long-term. Also almost all of it is 'things already announced' so don't expect fresh wows. What we're really getting here is intent and aspiration, not certainty and assurance, so a lot of "we will move towards" and "work progressing" which could ultimately mean nothing.

I've been through the 69 page document to see what Londoners can look forward to. In the summary that follows I've missed out anything due to complete in 2026, also anything I consider a bit dull.

Milestones
» 20,000 homes "in the pipeline"
» 6000 zero-emission buses
» 3500 traffic signals with bus priority
» 100% of electricity from renewable sources
» 95km of additional cycle routes
» 265 new pedestrian crossings

By 2030
» 40% of Londoners to live within 400m of the strategic cycle network (currently 29%)
» Fare evasion at 1.5% or less (currently 3.5%)
» Contribution of fares to TfL's income expected to rise from 51% to 59%.

Bus
» Introduce Superloop services SL13, SL14 and SL15 in 2027
» Introduce bus priority corridor between Woolwich and Abbey Wood (via Thamesmead) by 2029
» Progress a new publicly owned bus company for London

Fares
» "Explore how fares innovation could provide even greater value for customers with loyalty and reward schemes"

Stations
» Start work on DLR extension to Thamesmead in 2027 (but won't open before the early 2030s)
» Complete new entrance at Elephant & Castle by 2028
» Add six new escalators at Pontoon Dock by 2028
» Step-free access at Leyton in spring 2027 (no further stations confirmed after this)
» "Progress work" at Surrey Canal (i.e. the usual bugger all)

Woolly train stuff
» "Make the case for" the West London Orbital project, the Bakerloo line extension and Crossrail 2
» Aspire to absorb Great Northern suburban rail route into the Overground (Moorgate → Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage via Hertford North)

Rolling stock
» New train fleet introduced on the Piccadilly line (the first train "within the next 12 months")
» New train fleet introduced on the DLR (first three trains already withdrawn from service awaiting supply chain solution)
» Introduce fleet of 24 new trams (with the potential to replace all 36)
» Introduce 10 new Elizabeth line trains to increase frequency in central and west London
» Complete overhaul of entire Central line fleet by 2029 (only three so far)
» Complete signalling upgrades on Metropolitan and District line (project began 2016)

Oh god no
» "Introduce next-generation corridor wraps on the Elizabeth line and a dramatic revamp of Waterloo station's travelator to deliver high-impact, contextually relevant creatives that immerse and inspire Londoners as they move through the city"

My main takeaway from scouring the document is that the next four years are going to be a bit dull. We get new fleets of trains on the Piccadilly line and DLR, but all later than originally anticipated. We get nice improvements here and there but no new completed infrastructure, only an underwhelming DLR extension not yet in operation by 2030. What's more in 2029 Britain is likely to elect a London-hating government that seeks to yank all TfL's aspirations into reverse, so make the most of this lacklustre set of priorities because it's as good as we're going to get.

We often blame our actions on unconscious desires, but do such hidden drives actually exist?

When the BBC news item on Wissington Sugar factory's 100th anniversary was reported on social media by East Anglia Bylines in December last year, it caught my eye due to my family links with the factory's development. Based eight miles or so from Downham Market in Norfolk, the factory was opened in 1925; since then, it has grown to be "the largest and most cost-effective sugar processing site in Europe".

Risking a new life for family and Wissington

The factory has always held a special place in our collective family memory. In 1927, my maternal grandfather, Alexander Clarke (known as Alec), left his job as an engineer in the steelworks at Port Talbot in Wales to take a job helping to set up the development of the factory.

Port Talbot was badly affected by the Great Depression, and my mother, Daphne, remembered the terrible impact on life in the town. She told me of the soup kitchens and how some children in her class had to take it in turns with their siblings to go to school, as they only had one pair of shoes which they had to share.

Alec was a talented and inventive engineer, who some ten years later would become involved in the development of man-made fibres for the leading British manufacturer, Courtauld's. But as a young, ambitious man, at the height of the Depression, he was determined to create a better life for his family.  Having secured work on the early design and establishment of the Wissington factory, he set off across the country to a new and unknown life in the East. The factory was set up to process a key East Anglian crop: sugar beet.

The lonely migration experience

Alec was unable to bring his family to Norfolk immediately, and it is difficult to say exactly how long they had to wait. However, from the few letters we have, it was probably around 1930 as we have an old postcard with that date from Alec to his wife, Lavinia, who was still in Port Talbot with the children.

In it, he writes, "Dear Girl, I was fortunate enough to get this photograph in Downham. Our house is the one marked with a cross. Love Alec." The picture on the postcard shows a modest house: 49, The Howdale, Downham Market. I believe it was called Kia-Ora.

These simple words must have hidden quite a lot of pain at the long separation while the migrant made arrangements for a new home for his family. Some years later, he wrote to his granddaughter, my cousin, who for some reason was living alone away from her family, "We think of you a lot these days on your own … I always think back to when I was alone in Wissey, out in the wilds of the Fen district, my only contact with Grandma and your Mum and the others was by letter for 3 years. It was really lonely; keep your pecker up."

New experiences in Norfolk

My mother finally arrived at her new home at the age of 11 and went to the Downham Market secondary school. Her older sister went straight to King's Lynn Grammar, where she eventually became Head Girl and a Queen's Scholar. To receive her commendation, she went to Sandringham House, where she met Queen Mary, wife of King George V.

At first, the children were baffled by the Norfolk accent. My mother told me she met a neighbour on The Howdale who greeted her and said, "Your mother's stay-out, isn't she?" to which the young Daphne replied, "No, she stays at home and looks after us." It took a while to understand that the neighbour was actually accusing Lavinia of no more than being rotund, as in 'stout', rather than neglecting her children!

Sadly, I have been unable to find much information about the early days of the Wissington Sugar Factory, or my grandfather's role in its engineering design. However, it has certainly gone from strength to strength since its founder, Bill Towler, persuaded other farmers to invest in it, and provided them with a more certain market for their sugar beet crop. It now processes 600 tonnes of beet in an hour, more than it managed in a day when originally built.

Henrietta Billings, Director of SAVE Britain's Heritage asks if the demolition and tower scheme is the only way to pay for station improvements at Liverpool St, as Network Rail claim.  She introduces John McAslan's alternative scheme, offering a sympathetic solution that delivers Network Rail's ambitions without ruining the station or subjecting passengers to years of disruption.

The improved concourse in John McAslan's scheme (courtesy of JMP)

 

If you are one of the thousands who pass through Liverpool St Station regularly, you will be familiar with its magnificent features: the light-filled, triple-height concourse, the beautiful Victorian train sheds, and its illustrious adjacent neighbour, the grade II* former Great Eastern Hotel. With 270,000 people using the station every weekday, it is now the busiest terminus in the country. Everyone recognises it needs upgrades, like new escalators, lifts and more accessible toilets. The question is how can they be achieved without ripping out the guts of this well-loved landmark that is - at least theoretically - protected through its grade II listing and Conservation Area status?

Thanks to a number of highly controversial planning applications, Liverpool St Station is at the centre of a raging debate over how we fund essential upgrades to public buildings. Plans by Network Rail to build a nineteen-storey office block through the station are due to be considered by the Corporation of London on 10th February - with a recommendation for approval. Yet the plans have been met with significant opposition from commuters, residents and conservation groups since they were submitted in April last year (2,400 letters of objection, and counting).

The plans would see the beautiful concourse completely demolished. A new tower would loom over the remains of the original station and the historic hotel, and block out light from the rebuilt concourse. 50 Liverpool St, the Gothic revival masterpiece painstakingly built as part of the eighties conservation project, would be demolished, and the works would cause years of significant disruption to passengers. On heritage grounds alone, the City should refuse the plans because they contravene the City's polices on heritage protection in relation to listed buildings and conservation areas. Additionally, the report we commissioned from sustainability expert Simon Sturgis shows the environmental credentials of the glass and steel tower fall short of the Corporation's own sustainability ambitions.

Indeed, Network Rail's £1.2bn proposal is "not technically viable" according to their own advisors and so far they have refused to release the actual costs of the station improvements. Given that the whole project was predicated on the need for the office block to fund the essential upgrades, releasing costs is essential both as a matter of transparency, and to assess the acceptability of what is on the table.

The proposal, designed by Acme Architects, follows an equally controversial application in 2023 by Herzog & de Meuron architects, which was shelved after also receiving thousands of objections including a strong rebuttal from Historic England. They objected "in the strongest terms" to what it argued were "fundamentally misguided" plans and called for a "comprehensive redesign" to avoid the harm caused by the scheme. Confusingly. this previous scheme has not been officially withdrawn, and remains in limbo as a "live" planning submission. In the words of Building Design senior writer Tom Lowe, it has been arguably the most chaotic development process of any major project over the past decade.

Against the backdrop of these competing contentious proposals, a new approach has emerged from a different team of architects and engineers. John McAslan + Partners, the architects behind the celebrated transformation of King's Cross Station, have unveiled a fresh vision which shows that the station enhancements and accessibility upgrades could be achieved at half the cost, with a sympathetic, lighter-touch design.

When John McAslan + Partners approached SAVE six months ago with their scheme we immediately jumped at the opportunity to show there is  an alternative way of providing the much-needed improvements to the station. We believe this proposal is an elegant design solution in the spirit of traditional railway architecture without the passenger disruption, demolition or over-scaled development currently on offer. It is an important contribution to a critical debate about how we develop our public buildings balancing heritage and commercial interests.

Working with architects on alternative schemes is a key campaign tactic that we use at SAVE - from Smithfield Market in Farringdon and the Little Houses on the Strand next to Somerset House, to Battersea Power Station and the mighty Wentworth Woodhouse in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. We know from fifty years of experience how powerful they can be in bringing fresh perspectives and impetus to contested development plans or important threatened landmarks.

John McAslan's concept has been welcomed by Sir Tim Smit, founder of the pioneering Eden Project, and by heritage and sustainability experts alike as a helpful contribution to a debate that has so far been dominated by one idea: large-scale demolition and a nineteen-storey tower. We regard the McAslan approach as a compelling and viable alternative which is why we are calling on Network Rail and the City of London to pause the current scheme and give full consideration to this approach.

There is still time for Network Rail to get back on the right track. They should pause the Network Rail/Acme scheme for two reasons.

1. Costings of the required station upgrades have not been provided - so it is not possible to assess the full public benefit or justification for such massive and destructive over-station development in relation to the listed building and the conservation area.
2. The Corporation of London and Network Rail need more time to consider fully the heritage, financial and operational opportunities provided by the McAslan approach. The councillors on the planning committee can make this happen by voting to defer the planning application until they have had the chance to review this new information.

The committee date is approaching fast. Please add your voice by submitting your views on the Network Rail/Acme scheme and the alternative vision before 10th February.

Yesterday, Customer Commons and MyData Global launched MyTerms at a London event correctly titled The Only Way to Get Real Privacy Online. (I explain only and real at that link.)

MyTerms is the nickname for 7012-2025 - IEEE Standard for Machine Readable Personal Privacy Terms. Links:

• The home page. Note the little unlock symbol on the left, next to the word "free." That's because MyTerms is part of—
• The IEEE's GET Program for AI Ethics and Governance Standards. Below is the 7000 series of standards, of which MyTerms is the latest one. All are free.
• The published standard, finally available to anyone. It's easy to navigate if you click on the outline symbol in the left panel.

The text of the standard has a lot of prerequisite formal stuff up front. Here are the main parts:

• The Introduction, starting on page 8.
• Sections 4 and 5, starting on page 14.
• The top Annexes, starting on page 21

Note that the Introduction and the Annexes are informative, meaning not part of the standard itself. Between them is the normative, or operative, part of the standard.

The standard itself is simple. Here is a diagram that predates the one in the standard, but says the same thing:

This is how it works:

1. The person, acting as the first party, proffers an agreement to an entity (website, service, or organization of any kind), acting as the second party. The agreement is a contract. Note that the person here is neither a "user" nor a "client," but rather a self-sovereign human being operating at full agency.
2. The agreement chosen is one of a short list posted at the website of a neutral nonprofit, such as Customer Commons. This is on the Creative Commons model. MyTerms is to personal privacy agreements what Creative Commons is to personal copyrights.
3. On the Creative Commons model, agreements are readable by ordinary folk, by lawyers, and by machines. MyTerms addresses the third of those.
4. This ceremony is conducted by agents on both sides. These agents can be as simple as browser and web server plugins, or as fancy as personal and corporate AIs. The standard leaves these choices open.
5. Both parties keep identical records of the agreement, for compliance auditing and dispute resolutions, should those needs arise
6. The first party can also keep a record of which second parties passively or actively don't agree.

Obviously, this obsolesces cookie notices, and establishes much more solid grounds for relationships between people and organizations, customers and companies, demand and supply.

If you want to dig wider and deeper, here are three textual sources:

• My writing
• Iain Henderson's writing
• Nitin Badjatia's writing

And here is the MyTerms video collection at YouTube. We have two so far:

• Yesterday's event in London and online
• A five-minute background on MyTerms, explained by yours truly
• While listed elsewhere, The Case for MyTerms is a talk I gave last November at Indiana University as part of our salon series there.

There will be more. I look forward to not being able to keep up with all of it.

I honestly don't pay attention to this sub anymore. From skimming the recent posts on here it seems like BlackPlayer has gone kaput? am I right or is this just a glitch or is there anything I can tweak to make it work?

or is there any good recommendations, do I move to a new music player entirely? If so, please recommend one that can change album art and edit tags like BlackPlayer can!

Hello, just wanna ask everyone, if you are also experiencing random music stopping? heres the issue.

every time I play a song, it normally played but when the screen turns off or, I turned off the screen (pressing power button). the music stops randoml,. not the way the music stop playing or the music paused itself. the music still plays, but the sound just stop, like the music is playing but no sound is coming through my earbuds.. but when I turned on the screen the sound continues, sometimes i have to press the button again. i thought it was my phones bug, but after using Shuttle 2 and poweramp. i never experience that sound issue..so i think it is really the blackplayer ex app..

if you are experiencing this,and have found a solution please do tell me how to fix. its annoying..

thanks y'all!

As above. The beta release has been live for a while but no sign of an update in the Google Play Store since Nov 17th. It's not a problem as such, as I never upgraded to the broken version, but it's a bit of an annoyance having to skip the update each time.
