Colossus was an extraordinary feat of engineering and a remarkable piece of technology.
How did its creators conceive such an ingenious idea and know exactly which components were needed to make it work? Truly mind-blowing!

DON'T BUY @Honda_UK !!!
7 months = 5 ABS sensor cables chewed. Even with rodent tape applied. Honda use soy based insulation for its wiring harnesses which attracts rodents. Rodent damage not in their warranty. £2000 spent and nothing but chewed cables. Stay clear folks...

On the topic of reparative justice.
In June 1897, 2000 former slaves paraded in the Seychelles celebrating Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, carrying Union Jack flags printed with the words ‘The Flag that sets us free.’
All been rescued by the Royal Navy from the East African slave trade.
In their public address, translated from Creole, they stated:
“Kindly, Sir, express to the Queen our thanks for our freedom and to England our gratitude to those English Sailors who were killed and wounded, fighting that we might be free.”
The slavery abolition Act had been enacted over six decades prior.
"There's a very long litany of people not being held to account."
Double MOBO award winning musician Soweto Kinch explains why he thinks the UK should engage in 'reparative justice' for its involvement in the slave trade.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Slave owners were compensated in the 1830s–40s, not 2015. The government borrowed to fund this, later refinancing the debt into bonds redeemed in 2015. Those repayments went to bondholders, not as slave-owner compensation.

The magical and exotic touch of Italian superstar Gina Lollobrigida in "Solomon and Sheba" (1959)... Her co-star was Yul Brynner, who stepped into the role of Solomon after Tyrone Power's sudden death from a heart attack during filming in 1958, bringing his own commanding presence to the biblical epic.

The poignant and sweet last bit of public film of Laurel and Hardy , 1956, by filmmaker John Wade. Though both were ailing, it shows their humor and love for each other. The familiar nods and fiddling of Stan's tie... A final, fragile glimpse of two souls who had spent a lifetime making the world - and each other - laugh. Perfectly timeless....
