Thanks to my sister in law, I've spent years referring to tomato ketchup as dip dip.

I am not keen on that font at all. It's a little too thin for my eyes. Are there any other better news apps with alerts? I did try Sky News for a while but the last time I tried that, the alerts were about things I considered not news worthy e.g. two YouTubers splitting up!

And the wonderful Rik Mayall. The story about his summer girlfriend. 😂

This is amazing. I think I watched this live at the time. I'll always remember the "based on famous battles" line followed by footage of soldiers fighting a giant crab!

I remember trying to storm the beach and getting cut down every time. You have to watch for a particular kind of gun fire strafing across the sand.

Neill Blomkamp is a director with an amazing vision. District 9, Elysium, Chappie and the Oats Studio short films on YouTube.

But yet, Gran Turismo looks so generic. We've seen stories like this before. I'll watch eventually because I'm hoping there's something special that doesn't come through with these trailers.

Baz Bamigboye, ex-entertainment columnist for the Daily Mail and also used to work at The Sun. Makes sense.

Recently I completed Crossing Souls. It's a game overloaded with 80s nostalgia. The soundtrack is from two composers. The first has 80s synth tracks while the other providers John Williams / Amblin like scores as the story of a group of young friends and feels like a movie from that time.

I used to put this on to drift asleep to. Fantastic soundtrack.

I'm playing through The Last of Us: Part 2 for the second time. I was inspired by watching HBO's adaptation, so I played through part one remastered and then started on Part 2 on my PS5. It's even better this time around as the PS5 60fps patch was released about a week after I first completed it!

Then I've got a stack of other large games to get through including Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077.

I'm not surprised. There was a tweet from Ed Soloman, one of the writers on Men In Black, some time ago now, showing his yearly statement of residuals on that film.

Despite making almost $600m on a $90m budget and spawning a franchise, he was informed by the statement that the film was a loss for Sony and the studio is still in the red.

I just call those bread rolls. It reminds me of when I first when to Scotland and went to a shop and asked for a bacon roll. They looked at me like I was mad and said, you mean a roll and bacon?
