The Comedy Central animated series celebrated its 300th episode this week with a direct attack at China after the show was banned there earlier this month.

On Twitter, South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker issued a mock-apology:

Like the NBA, we welcome the Chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts. We too love money more than freedom and democracy. Xi doesn’t look like Winnie the Pooh at all. Tune into our 300th episode this Wednesday at 10! Long live the great Communist Party of China. May the autumn’s sorghum harvest be bountiful. We good now China?

After spending some time shopping on eBay attempting to make up an order of £100 or more to qualify for the 10% off (PICKME10) discount promo that they were running on the UK site on 29/30th September 2019, I had finally exceeded  the £100 value needed to check out and get the 10% off. This was at about eight PM 30/09/19 but to my surprise the coupon wouldn't work. I contacted support to ask them why it was no longer valid. Apparently for some unforeseeable reason it had to be withdrawn early, the first time in eBay history according to the support staff member I was speaking to. They had had quite a number of complaints but there was nothing they could do, no recompense or correction was offered.

I quite often advertise eBay promos on here and while I wouldn't want to put anybody off, what normally is quite a good deal, I  just thought I'd put it out there as it seems a bit weird that they would do this and for what reason?

Nasa has made a shock announcement, recently suggesting that there may be an unfathomably massive structure beyond the Observable Universe that has enough energy to attract whole Galaxies towards it. Current understanding would suggest that this could be due to a multitude of Universes (multiverses) pulling the outmost parts of ours in towards them, not unlike a bunch of colliding bubbles in a bath. They call this energy " Dark Flow" and the Resonance Science Foundation  commented: “Dark Flow may be the result of residual galactic flow following the inflationary Big Bang towards a region of the multiverse with higher mass than average, or as physicist Nassim Haramein has suggested, a torus geometry of the universe in which it is rotating and has directional toroidal flow.”

Obviously no one has a clue what is going on!

 These Air beds were set up for an outdoor cinema event in the USA when strong winds sent them cartwheeling across a park.

Cats is still a four letter word. Many years ago when I worked in the theatre, written on the back of the fire curtain was "Cats is a four letter word". Well it still is and no amount of weird CGI shenanigans will ever change that.
