They just started filming the second season of the revived show, had some nice family time in Sheffield for day 1 of shooting. The kids were happy! Viper is deliberately nasty, got all the boos from the audience. Ok, can agree partially, you can feel that he is acting, not living it. The rest of the gladiators were really nice to contenders. When one got an injury, the gladiator who did it (unintentionally) was really kind and respectful. Overall, would not really recommend going to the live show, it is much better to watch it on tv rather than have to spend the whole day (it took almost 10 hours all in all). The orgs are doing a decent job though with all the interactive stuff in-between the actual contests, so could be worth it for big fans.

Libdem lady elected in my constituency literally had it on her leaflets - vote tactically for me to punish tories. And she won on that basis. Hope she will prove herself, lets see, but I agree with your assessment.

You really should see a doctor with this!

I am sorry, I really cannot possibly understand why a civilian outside of an active conflict zone can possibly need a grenade? Is that your 4th of July tradition or something?
