I've got an Amazon Echo and I can sense my wife is not happy with how much we talk, and the Amazon Echo isn't even designed for traditional sex.

Westworld the show is pretty cool neurophilosophy, ruined by a Lord-Of-The-Flies-style glut of symbolism, and an unnecessary amount of narrative fuckery that exists just to please the swarm of underpaid TV critics on the internet. Kick-rear end music though.

Been having a lot of fun with my wife doing an impression of the main character from Rillington Place. If you like suspense, drama, and having a giggle with your SO doing impressions I highly recommend watching it. Great stuff.

I read the results sheet and it looks a bit half arsed with most of the wrestlers being recycled for a second match in the event. Mixture of people I know and don't, Sha Samuels being my particular favorite. He's always great live.

Now, all this talk of sports is just making me disappointed that Mo Farah wasn't the Sports Personality of the Year. No disrespect to Andy Murray, since he's a great tennis player and it's not like he doesn't deserve it, but he'd won twice already while Farah became Britain's most decorated athlete this year.

Personally I voted for Laura Kenny but Mo would have been a good option too. Andy Murray winning again was the second worst choice the British voting public has made this year.

Mixture of people I know and don't, Sha Samuels being my particular favorite. He's always great live. Part of that's because a lot of the bigger names are already spoken for (Scurll, Osperay, Zack Sabre), plus the folks behind it are TV people, not wrestling people so they're trying to do a halfway house between the old WOS and WWE style. Biggest name in terms of recognition among non-hardcores is probably Grado, and Grado's not the guy you want as the centrepiece of a promotion on national TV.

And more to the point someone is the number on tennisman every year it's not like it's all that special but being as dominant in your field as Mo is special.

I dunno to be fair to Murray he won Wimbledon, got an Olympic gold medal AND became number one. That's pretty drat good, especially for a British tennis player.

They're clearly going for character over in-ring performance. The Progress/Rev Pro guys are all fantastic in the ring but building a popular, TV-based promotion on them would take a long time to get the necessary recognition from casual fans. Grado/Dave Mastiff/Sha Samuels/El Ligero are all personality first and that's going to help with building viewership, and they're all decent-ish in the ring (well, at least Grado used to be, we'll see if he can get that back again).

Whoa, I didn't know there was a new BBC miniseries coming next month by Ridley Scott and Steven Knight (Locke, Peaky Blinders), co-created by and starring Tom Hardy. Looks cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1fiijqrKuc

Eh, it's pretty convenient that they announced it now, and up until a few weeks ago the belief was that January was going to be for a women's showcase/tournament, down to a bunch of ladies having been told to keep their schedules open.

I'd say its a good time for wrestling given that ITV are apparently making a serious push to make WOS Wrestling a weekly thing and the UK wrestling scene is thriving, but WWE's product is so poor that its hard to say. But I've still got tickets to both nights at that UK tournament soooooo..... And as Brits should be proud of how loving amazing Jack Gallagher is.
