An article I read was saying Facebook wanted to help their machine learning/AI learn to read people's aging, started this to give it material to work with.

No code at all! I adore Lovejoy, or to be more exact, I love Dudley Sutton who played Tinker.

It is Ian McShane’s voice you hear at the start of the song “Slave To The Rhythm” by Grace Jones.

It's a nice, gentle watch if there is nothing else on. And I must admit to having a crush on Lady Jane LOL

Here's one for the thread

Renowned Italian director, producer & screenwriter Sergio Leone (Once Upon a Time In The West, The Dollars Trilogy, A Fistful of Dynamite, Once Upon A Time in America) died two days before he was due to start work on an epic war film about the Siege of Leningrad. Robert de Niro was going to play the lead role.

He only made 11 films. Once Upon A Time In America was his last, 5 years before his death, aged 60, in 1989. I never knew any of that even though I'm a big fan,strangely I never looked it up.

Why does Irish Rail have an ad with a song with the lyrics ''I'm a big boy now''? The ad is about a woman  reminiscing about her childhood by pushing her go cart train down the hill and then it cuts to her on a train in Ireland all giddy like a kid again.
