humorous work training
As part of my work, l assist new starters with their inductions and training. Looking at one of our new workers training last week, the answer given to this made me laugh out loud, and l was alone at the time (and no, it is not made up for humorous purposes here).
It's logical I suppose, and excuse the bad photo.

piers morgan caught out
I understand the cricket reference Piers Morgan was using here, and have used it myself, but he was caught out beautifully. Well played, very well played.
Conversation with the AI Pi bot and Mustafa Suleyman's 'The Coming Wave'.
I'm very interested in AI and how the future is going to dramatically change, and have pre-ordered the upcoming Mustafa Suleyman book above, and looking forward to reading (and trying to understand) it. In the meantime, l've tried out the AI Pi bot, and it's impressive. Here's part of my first conversation with it.
Impressive stuff isn't it, and that's said without any connection to the programme or sponsorship deals. Society is going to be changing pretty damn quickly, and you can't prevent this kind of progress, but unfortunately, this can also be fraught with danger, especially in the job market.

don't fart in an apple store
This is very stupid and childish, but made me laugh out loud, so obviously appeals to my idiotic sense of humour.
Bolan's Shoes - Official UK Trailer, and Angel Headed Hipster.
One of the two Marc Bolan related upcoming films I'm looking forward to. Bolan's Shoes below, plus Angel Headed Hipster. Bolan's Shoes is in cinemas from 15th September 2023.

While I've been away, I still remembered the important stuff.
I've had a break and Yevgeny's gone missing
I've been busy and also got bleeding Covid again (I think it's the fifth time), so not been up to date recently, but have loads of recent posts which l never got round to uploading, so look out for the upcoming deluge.
In the meantime, l was meant to meet my old mat Yevgeny Prigozhin in the pub yesterday, but he never showed up. I'm baffled, he's normally so trustworthy, so l don't understand what's happened.

What a bummer.

rocker's aged and poker face seies
While l was happily minding my own business watching the pretty damn good 'Poker Face' series, l was rudely dragged back into the real world when l saw Rocker, one of my old mates make an appearance. Have to admit that unlike me, he's aged a bit.
Any resemblance to Nick Nolte is purely coincidental

a touching letter regarding sinead o'connor
A would bet a tidy sum that Sinead O'Connor performed many acts of altruism and kept them quiet.

the newspapers have an agenda
One of my most memorable school lessons was when an English teacher bought in various newspapers to explain the difference in their reporting, especially around political issues. Here's a fine recent example.
privatisation's going well
With British Gas announcing eye watering profits, a reminder of who sells of the family jewels to their rich mates whenever they get the chance. Keep an eye out and fight to retain the NHS as that's been on the Conservative agenda for a while, hence the present running down of it.
Never vote Tory.

This woman has been crocheting giant cats, and l admire her for doing so.
I guess it's good to have a hobby, albeit an unusual one.

Looks like Mr Parrot is looking for some entertainment and attention. Sadly for him l'll soon be going out to join the Wednesday afternoon drunkards.

The Rolling Stones - Satisfaction (Ready Steady Go) and Mick Jagger's 80th Birthday
It's Mick Jagger's 80th Birthday today, but l'm old enough to remember when he was 46 years old and considered ancient before The Rolling Stones 1989 tour. I made the foolish error of not seeing them on that tour as l too considered them too old. Now, with the passing of many more years they look like sprightly youngsters on this Q Magazine cover.
And here is is with Jerry Hall in 1996 (by Brigitte Lacomb) - looking splendid.
Lastly, Ready Steady Go. Savour the excitement.

Just a normal day at the office for the most corrupt and spiteful government l've ever known, and l remember the Margaret Thatcher years.

looks like the car's buggered
I've got some time off work and thought l'd nip to Ikea by Newcastle today to buy some more record shelves and tidy the house up a bit. Rather sadly, engine lights came on just past the Angel of the North and the car conked out at traffic lights just by The Metro Centre. I called The AA who couldn't repair it so l ended up getting towed back to drop the car off at my local garage and to drop me off at the pub to drown my sorrows. Don't hold out a lot of hope regarding it being cost effective to be repaired, so it looks like l may have to crumble and buy another. The worst thing is l was only about a mile away from Ikea and if l'd made it there and put the shelves in the car and then broken down, l would now have them at home. What a bummer.
I blame God.
