Funnily I discovered the 8 gens thing when my Dad asked me to check the family legend that we came from N’orn a few generations back.

Nope. 8+ generations of straw chewing’ Wiltshire Yokels.

Hard agree. Look at the way Zack Polanski called out Shabana Mahood this week.

9 years ago pledging solidarity on a Lesbos beach.

Now full on Nigel’s Handmaiden.

I tripped over this in the day job.

My understanding (Tech not Lawyer) is that it’s licensable and consumable but not patentable.

So you can charge people to use the asset. Most code is not patented so therefore no big change.

But software patents are pretty dumb anyway.

Hot Port & Lemon?

Glug of port.
Big slice of lemon studded with cloves.
Big blob of honey.
Put in big tumbler and top up with hot water.

Will be interesting to see what the illuminated badge looks like in the flesh. It looks naff as hell on the VW’s. Makes them look like Vauxhalls.
