Interesting: The video games sector now accounts for more than half of the UK’s entire entertainment market, according to a new report by the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA).
The industry is worth £3.86bn ($4.85bn) – more than double its value in 2007, and makes it more lucrative than video and music combined. The games market has grown, despite the fact that the physical console and PC games market shrank slightly in 2018, and digital also had a modest 12.5% growth.
404? 301? 503? There are plenty of errors out there when browsing the net, but what do they really mean? Of course, you could always go and visit Wikipedia, but what would be the fun of that if you can have cats explain it to you:

Hi everyone,
Just to let you know, I have managed to raise GBP £239! Thank you all for your donations and your help, what an amazing experience!
In the end, Team Jagex managed to raise a whooping GBP £7,780, placing us #2 in the Gaming Challenge, just behind Ubisoft Toronto.
.
Donations can still be submitted year round, however, for reporting purposes Movember closes the financial year on April 30, and it is at this point that we’ll know exactly how much has been raised from the Movember 2012 campaign. In May, PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) audits the financials and will determine the exact amounts to be directed towards programs.
Until then, the team will be working closely with each of our men’s health partners to ensure all funds go towards world class programs in line with their long-term strategic goals. It goes without saying that everyone at Movember takes this process extremely seriously; it’s not simply a matter of handing over the funds.
This unique global perspective gives Movember a bird’s eye view of prostate cancer programs happening around the world, allowing them to help partners by facilitating collaboration, removing duplication and sharing best practices – all of which help to accelerate outcomes in the field. This position and knowledge is what helped form our Global Action Plan (GAP), which is the first program to be funded directly by Movember, involving partners from across the globe.
Once again, thank you all! 🙂
Last year, Movember had its most successful year to date with over 852,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas across the globe raising a phenomenal GBP £79.3 million. The hairy movement will continue to grow in 2012, as 21 countries across five continents unite to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health.
This year I am helping raise money for Movember. Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths.
Please sponsor me or my team, and let’s change the face of men’s health! If I manage to raise over £100 I will paint my mustache blue! (much to the dismay of my wife I reckon!)

And now for something completely different:
Since so many people asked for the recipe, here goes: this is my mum’s recipe, which makes me extra proud as it has turned out to be an amazing feast whenever I made it.As you can see from the picture, this is how much pizza this recipe makes, so feel free to adjust 🙂
Ingredients:
Procedure:
Personal notes:
If you want a bit more of a kick to the dough, just add 2 tbsp of crushed Rosemary and Oregano to the dough, and instead of just olive oil replace the 12 TBSP with 8 TBSP of olive oil and 4 TBSP of infused olive oil (e.g. chilli oil, garlic oil, basil oil, etc).
Our kitten (well, cat really, he just behaves like one) is going nuts tonight because he wasn’t allowed out. So, after almost eating my bluetooth he decided it would be great to go nuts with the mousey. Enjoy! 🙂
