Oh, the complications. I won't say everything's organised, because that never ends well. But OH is on his way to Exeter for a car show, oldest son is on a train to London on his way to a University Open Day (Reading), middle son is still asleep, and youngest son is up and raring to go. Us three stay-at-homes will be setting off on holiday in a couple of hours; the general plan is for OH to collect oldest son from Reading this afternoon and we'll all meet up at our holiday location in Norfolk this evening *crosses fingers*

And I still haven't had time to read any of the LoM Big Bang fic, and more immediately, I haven't yet had time to even start watching Hidden. By my calculations it should all still be available on iPlayer when I get back next weekend, so with any luck that's my Monday sorted out. Ian Wylie promises a (brief) shower scene. That man understands us too well.

I seem to be quite late to the party, but Matthew Graham appears to be seriously pissed off with Philip Glenister over his Radio Times interview.

He does seem to be even more angry about him and Ash being referred to as "the writers" than about Phil's claim to have originated the phrase "Fire up the Quattro". Which was a crap phrase anyway imo. Anyway, the tone of those tweets seems like something there's no coming back from!


As an aside, I screencapped the tweets and was going to post the cap, but after I'd uploaded it to Photobucket I got presented with a new set of Terms and Conditions, including the following:

"If you make your Content public, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to copy, distribute, publicly perform (e.g., stream it), publicly display (e.g., post it elsewhere), reproduce and create derivative works from it (meaning things based on it), anywhere, whether in print or any kind of electronic version that exists now or later developed, for any purpose, including a commercial purpose.

You are also giving other Users the right to copy, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce and create derivative works from it via the Site or third party websites or applications (for example, via services allowing Users to order prints of Content or t-shirts and similar items containing Content, and via social media websites)."


So I upload a photo I've taken, and they are allowed to make money out of it? I'm not happy about that. No wonder I keep getting desperate emails from them asking me to come back and use my Photobucket - people must be leaving in droves. I shall be checking my account tomorrow and deleting any original work. This will result in broken links, which is annoying.

So, anyone recommend a similar picture-holding site where they don't assert their right to benefit commercially from my property?

I'm trying to avoid reading anything about Mad Dogs at the moment, because I won't get to see eps 1 & 2 until next Friday, but I couldn't resist following a link to a screencap at TRA. Very nice pic, but I was amused to discover that Phil's character is called Quinn. The Gene character in the wonderful Spanish version of Life on Mars - La Chica de Ayer - was called Quin.
