Could have been a summary of my 90s. Although your film is a few levels above my blowing up toys with fireworks, rubber monster bats on a fishing string and synchronous playing of Godzilla soundtracks during filming, since we didn’t have fancy editing tools.
Thanks for sharing!

I certainly did all of that too, especially the blowing up of toys

Which of the two deaths are you happy about? Is it both? I sort of think it's both.

Had taken E at least a couple of times before but did way too much water having been warned not to dehydrate. Brain swelling etc.
Cake was shown in Feb 1997 (not feb 95 as I thought)
Hansard Cake question July 96
Theoretically, it might have taken him 7 months to ask an urgent question but one supposes if so and he had been int'd shortly after Betts' death, he had time to research.
fwiw, between 10 and 20 people died each year where E was involved

The thought that The Daily Star is a hotbed of Bolshevik thought or the idea that radical Islamists read it and are influenced by it.
Once again you reveal that you have only the feeblest idea about life in this country. Its media and institutions remain a mystery to you

Some mild criticism of Boris in a mass market tabloid mainly concerned with tits and xfactor had absolutely nothing to do with this killing. Nothing. Anyone who says it did is a twat.

The Daily Star is a hideous right wing prole-baiting rag that certainly encourages its readers to despise 'the woke,' 'boffins,' environmentalists, and, when referred to as 'Bozo,' Boris Johnson.
It also encourages its readers to support, when referred to as 'Bojo,' Boris Johnson.
It's basically sensationally cynical and negative about everything, including the tories, but it is firmly on their side when it comes to culture war and elections.
The British population is being encouraged to hate politicians, and the Daily Star is certainly partly to blame. The assassin was British, his political ideology does not make him less British.

when Noel Edmonds talked about Cake.
Nobody knew why the fuck Noel Edmonds was in a studio talking about cake, but we were getting paid, so fuck it. Record whatever the idiots want, then give them the footage and take their money.
That was about 5 years before it was released.

He was all for working on things like this “because it’s cool and there’s good money in it”.
I tried pointing out that that would mean he’d be living in a future full of death robots, but apparently that wasn’t a consideration.
Twenty years later and I note that the IET, along with all other UK engineering bodies, is rather keen on ethics. I’m guessing he’s not a member.

Robotics development has been painfully slow since, what, the 70s? It's 2021 and we're barely able to make an actual ed209. At this rate we're about 1000 years away from a T800.
Ultimately the technology being developed now will end up making our lives better once the military has its fun with it. We will have robot bodies and immortality, and be able to travel to different bodies on laser beams, so yeah, pretty good.

when I see clips of stuff like this, I think of the poor engineers having to painfully set this up. With huge piles of failed attempts
and then for some bizzare reason it will fail again and some person will spend hours trying find a small fault
