• Becket Pageant for London coming to the Guildhall

  24-03-2022 16:00 via ianvisits.co.uk
  
  To mark Thomas Becket’s triple anniversary, Guildhall in the City of London is to be filled with a 16th-century style Livery Fair, and a brand new open-air musical production of his life.
  The triple anniversary, which was in 2020, marked 900 years since his birth, 850 years since his death, 800 years since the translation to his shrine in Canterbury Cathedral. The Livery Fair was due to take place during the anniversary year, but I am sure we all know what happened to that.

• New smartphone brand Nothing continues to tease

  24-03-2022 14:13
  
  A smartphone startup created by the founder of OnePlus is promising to take the fight to Apple but is still keeping its cards close to its chest.
  The name of the company is Nothing, which seems to be representative of a cryptic, nebulous approach to marketing. So much so that we had never heard of it before, but it seems to have been around for at least a couple of years. Nothing had a round of crowdfunding community investing in March 2020, which hit its target of $1.5 million immediately. It h

• Carriers must ‘get out of the way’ on 5G – T-Mobile US

  24-03-2022 13:22
  
  Telecoms operators are actively preventing 5G technology from reaching its full potential, according to T-Mobile US.
  The US telco has unveiled plans to make life easier for developers working with 5G networks, including the creation of a new developer platform, a 5G technology hub, and venture funding.
  As usual, the implication – and as usual it was far from subtle – is that the telco’s rivals are standing in the way of 5G innovation, requiring T-Mobile to swoop in and save the

• A day trip to – Longford Castle, Salisbury

  24-03-2022 08:00 via ianvisits.co.uk
  
  During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, an unusually shaped castle was built on the banks of the River Avon, and 450 years later, it’s still a private home that’s a few years ago, started opening to the public, but only for a few days each year.
  This is the rather remarkable Longford Castle, home of the Earl of Radnor, and apart from its unusual exterior, it’s packed full with enough grand master paintings to make most major galleries sigh in envy. It’s also a very odd-loo
