lol, it's surely the twin of Mark thingy, the tall bloke out of League of Gents.

Finished this last night. What am I supposed to do now? Resorted to working today.

No bids on my Segway yet though.

Oh wow there is some seriously cool shit there!

Speed Racer Segway is mine.

This is my 4th covid binge series. Dropped it half way through s1ep3 years ago and picked it up again. It’s so good. Yenn is absolutely enchanting.

Fuck that movie. 

No soul

Ghostbusters Afterlife - 4

if you don’t like this you have no soul.

My imprisonment and boredom continues ao I’ve turned to this.

2.5 episodes in. I think it might just be awful.

Finished. Well that was quite special.

but …

You should check it out. Probably in my top ten films of all time, and she is spectacular in it.

I thought it was grubby and unremarkable.

The Alpinist. Documentary in the mould of Free Solo.

4.5.

Finally got round to this.

Gganbu - oh my god. What extraordinary TV.

I thought this was very good. The single shot was just brilliant and all the acting was top drawer.

I did manage to see the results through the weblinks, I think... 

 

But did we ever get an official announcement of the results?

Doh! Posted in committee forum when I was checking if the couple of late problems could have caused a problem (they didn’t) and haven’t yet pasted in here. 1 minute…

edit: Thanks Qazimod

I voted for him as a genuine choice.

A message saying that address was already activated 

That’s really weird. That should have had the 4 links below it for the polls you’d been invited to. Unless you were accidentally using a diff email address than your one registered on here?

Issue I had was there were no links.

After you put your activation code into the page to confirm your email?

What did it show you at that point?

I'd vote for that

(although the "email not activated" issue should be perma-solved now for anyone who voted this year)

If I try to re-register the address it looks like the page which says in verified has links to the polls, but it seems I have to re-register each time for each vote.

No you just open each link in a tab (or go back once you've voted in one and follow the next one)

Glad you got it sorted.

I put that in the OP in this thread once we discovered this stupid change this year.

Oh sorry guys, I was watching this page up until yesterday (must have been Friday) and no one else seemed to have any problems for a long time and votes were still slowly clicking up on the counter so I thought we were past all that crap.

Still not working for me, just get 'already registered' message

Did it not show you the 4 links to vote on that page when you did that?

On 25/03/2022 at 22:25, deKay said:

Are the links unique to the user? If not, can someone post them please?

I think that wouldn't have worked anyway

I have just checked the results which I will post next - there were none which were material within 10 votes so I don't believe this would have impacted the results (unless there are loads of people who tried and it didn't work but haven't complained about it) but I'm very sorry there were still issues. It's extremely frustrating.

I thought Naomi Schiff did ok when she was actually talking to drivers, TPs etc but when it was just her and Ted etc she struggled a bit. It much be pretty full on to slot into a team like that doing complex live broadcast on a complex sport when everyone else there has been doing it for years. I wonder if she's going to rotate in an out - like JB? I assume she's still doing a race series this year?

I thought she was very good. Better than that tool Lazenby. The HDR coverage on Sky is super tasty, probably helped by the fact it was a night race.

Mark Webber was saying all the glare wasn't nearly as bad as those cameras show, but I guess it's more that you learn not to notice it?

the camera is also not in quite the same position as the driver's eyeballs so reflections that hit the camera may well not be visible

The Sky HDR coverage is looking pretty sweet.
