You'll need to be of a certain vintage to remember the good old days in the 80's & 90's before the explosion of the internet and instant news to appreciate this. If you are you'll recollect the excitement of constantly refreshing teletext to get updated football scores and also the latest football news. I was sent this by a mate down south as he thought I'd be interested. Someone has re-created the teletext features and pages as an app for your mobile and although in its infancy it is expected to grow as more and more features are added. I suspect it'll only be of interest to the older ones of us that remember it from its halcyon days. Many a game, particularly midweek ones when there was no radio coverage and this was the only means to get instant (well fairly instant updates) on how your team were getting on. Page 302 was the BBC football index page. ITV brought out a service also, memory seems to tell me their home page might have been 140 I've downloaded and will be using it in the future Anyone else got memories of teletext usage for the football

He sounds ace. Get him in.

What is hilarious to see, is the free speech wave going back and forth, with associated frothing and side-taking. It started with the left being defenders of free speech, being provocative in search of more liberal attitudes towards sex and sexuality, always being censored by the right. McCarthyism another sordid tool. Then the hate speech took over, with words being phased out because they were no longer appropriate leading to speakers at university and so on being "cancelled". Now the "can't say anything these days" folks are reporting people for making jokes about a death, trying to get them fired and shows cancelled. All propelled by the narcissistic machine of social media. You wonder when it will peak?

Never heard of him! Sounds intriguing!
