Man how many stories involve murder reality TV shows? It is kind of scary.

It's actually a decent play, the Sex Olympics play a very minor part in the story, which is actually centered on a reality show where they end up killing the participants to spike up the ratings. Could perfectly be a Black Mirror episode.

It's a bit of a tired trope already, isn't it? Sex Olympics is the first example I can think of, though.

Fans. Fans never change.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Running Man is better known, I'd say.

For sure. Not saying Sex Olympics is very well known outside those obsessed with 1960s drug-addled British sci-fi extravaganzas.  :blush:

The writer also wrote the Professor Quatermass serials, which were reasonably popular in the UK and which I loved as a kid.

I bought a overprice dxracer chair. It will be delivered on Thursday.

I wonder how well built it will be.

At least he didn't take a dump in front of your house, like one of their delivery women did over here.

Poland was the country that got the most migrants in the EU last year at 683.000. About 585.000 came from Ukraine. Poland is running out of workers fast.
