Re: Love a good documentary
BBC's Horizon do some good documentaries. The last one was about the difficulties of a manned mission to Mars. We tend to assume that such a trip is feasible based on the moon landings, but it turns out there is a slew of other issues that arise when going to the red planet.

Great programme. With the loss of manufacturing jobs its very grim up north. Whole generations on benefits. I think even if there were jobs now, most of them wouldn't know what to do. It must be soul destroying to know that even your great granddad couldn't get job back in the 1970s. Interesting but very sad.

He certainly seemed a very capable thief! Given his prospects, not an entirely irrational career choice.

Britain's Great War on BBC iPlayer with Paxo. Rather enjoyed it and learnt a few things along the way.

Sobering watching Inside Job again on Netflix, won't be the last time I'm sure of either watching it nor of it happening.

Ayrton Senna's birthday today, I urge you if you haven't already to watch the Senna documentary on Netflix.

Inequality for All was an interesting watch if you're into economics/politics.
