Did I mention I watch movies, occasionally?
I watch movies, occasionally!
The reason I mention it?
Is simply that I watched one last night: the latest Stephen King adaption, It: Chapter Two.
I’m not necessarily stunned, I should add: as I think the review, and video, makes clear.
But … ?
I have to admit, I had the post finished, and was in bed, but one in the morning.
Knackered is possibly not the word!

I’m assuming a lot of my readers are in the UK, US and Spain.
Although, according to some of the analytics I’ve seen, I’ve got one hundred and ninety-six readers in Russia.
They’re possibly to disrupt the US elections. Or Brexit … or something …
At ANY rate … ?
I’m betting you, like me, have had the odd (fraudulent) phone call where the caller claims to be from Microsoft, or a Microsoft sanctioned company, and that their records show your machine’s causing issues.
They talk you into all sorts of behaviour to scam you out of money … or take remote control of your machine.
Commonly? A lot of these are in India.
And the report I’ve just heard, this morning?
Tells me the a few of these call centres have now been closed by Indian police: working with the City of London police, and Microsoft.
Personally?
I’m glad to hear it.
That won’t stop all of them, or prevent more starting.
But at least takes some sort of action.
