So Twitter have won the rights to broadcast live NFL games. That is really unexpected news and one that both excites and worries me slightly.It excites me because I may be able to get to see some live NFL without having to spend the price of a ticket each month and while it may only be the Thursday night game it is better than nothing and I may get to see the Falcons live once this year.However the excitement is outweighed with a lot of fear. Not because Twitter won, but because they were one of many social media brands bidding for the coverage (Yahoo, Amazon and Facebook were also in the running).

This is a massive shift to the way live action TV is delivered and as one of the worlds super high-speed internet have-nots, my ISP can only get me 2mbps, means another step backwards for my ability to get quality broadcasts unless I move home. The BBC have already made BBC 3 online only and that is a sign of what is to become, I’m not saying this progress is bad just not good for us have-nots.

Here in the UK the telcos need to up their game to protect the little man and not leave rural communities in dark ages. I know BT are working on fibre like speeds over copper but one telco isn’t enough as it leaves us with no choice so its time for the other telcos step up to the plate and give us at least some options.

So hopefully I’ll be able to download and watch it pseudo live rather than watch a stream because if that happens I’ll be no better off than I am now. Is it time to move to the US? I can but dream.

The death of Ronnie Corbett sees yet another childhood hero for this year. Just hoping we don’t get a post death scandal relating to this little legend.

I’m not a political type of person, yes I was union rep back in the 90s but I think that was me wanting to exert some authority in a business environment prior to becoming a manager back in the day, but I digress, and being politically neutral I view world events from a moer moralistic stance. Sure they ar my morals but I think I have enough of a grasp on reality to be considered ‘a normal person’. Therefore things like revenge attacks and terrorism disgust me.

I grew up in the 70s when the IRA were the threat that I was aware of it was on the news often as the bombing were, then as time passed the bombing slowed and things shifted to a more global view as the West and East Europe issue conflict dominated but there was no terrorism just the threat of world destruction under the fingers of Russians and Americans. Since the  emphasis shifted to the Middle East/West and major terrorist attacks in New York (9-11), London, Paris and now Brussells.

What makes this attack disgusting is that it is most likely an act of revenge on the Belgians who had the audacity to arrest the man accused of being a major figure in the Paris bombings. These terrorists have no morals and don’t deserve anyone’s respect. I’m really confused as to why these terrorists see these barbaric acts as form of justice. Does it not just create even more hatred towards them and their cause?
