New blog post: Theatre Review: Avenue Q ★★★★★
shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/04/theatre-rev...
I'll admit, I was a little sceptical about returning to Avenue Q. I saw it on its original West End run back in… OH MY GOD I AM SO OLD! FUCK! Where did the time go? It's always hard to know …
OMG YOU GUYS!
There's a version of Avenue Q which is for schools.
They rework some of the songs to be more "suitable" for kids.
Here's the lovely way they've adapted "The Internet Is For Porn."

The Mega Drive game I believe has aged the worst.
I buy my books from Kobo, remove the DRM, then transfer them to Kindle.
If that's a bit of a faff, I'd buy a Kobo (tied to the Kobo store in the same way Kindle was tied to Amazon).
Dear Customer, Thank you for being a longtime Kindle customer. We're glad our devices have served you well for as long as they have. Starting May 20, 2026 — 14 to 18 years after their initial launches — we are discontinuing support for Kindle devices released in 2012 or earlier. Here's what this means for you: * You can continue to read books already downloaded on these devices, but you will not be able to purchase, borrow, or download additional books on them after that date. * If you deregister or factory reset these devices, you will not be able to re-register or use these devices in any way. Affected devices include Kindle 1st and 2nd Generation, Kindle DX and DX Graphite, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle 4, Kindle Touch, Kindle 5, and Kindle Paperwhite 1st Generation. To minimize any disruption, we're offering a promotional code for 20% off
Amazon are killing off their old Kindles - notably the ones which still let you remove DRM from their ebooks.
I suspect that it is also because they can't connect to modern TLS servers.
A shame, although I was only using it for stripping DRM.

Some delightful updates to #AvenueQ in London. Most sensible, some shocking, all hilarious.
If you've seen the show before, you already know which bit got the biggest cheer of the evening.

If you happened to see my data, could you let me know what it said 😅
Annual Benefit Statements We are aware of an issue that occurred on the Civil Service Pensions Scheme (CSPS) member portal for around 35 minutes on 30 March 2026, affecting the accuracy of a small number of Annual Benefit Statements (ABS) generated in this period. 138 members either received personal ABS data belonging to other members and/or had their personal data seen by other members. All impacted members will be written to by 9am on 3 April 2026 via secure message. If you have not received correspondence from us, your data was not impacted in any way. This was identified quickly, ABS functionality was immediately suspended, and a full investigation undertaken.
Good news! The Civil Service Pension Scheme website can now show you an Annual Benefit Statement 😃
Bad news! Not necessarily *your* ABS 🙃

It is an amazing show. Enjoy 😃
I also have veggie / vegan restaurant recommendations if that's your jam.
There's no shortage of good beers - but Beer Point give you an NFC card so you can self-pour exactly how many ㎖ of beer you want.

OK, if you want *really* weird - go here.

Don't look up anything about it. Just wander into the park, pay your tenner, then bill me for the therapy afterwards.
The Lennon memorial is also nice.
Žižkov Television Tower has weird sculptures on it, and a good view.
Make sure they stamp your card and you'll get your 10th stay free!
