Harpy Eagle Horror

 This looks like it's something out of a horror film, but it's from a Harpy eagle nest. Photograph is by Alexander Blanco.

me in the pub

 Me in the pub thinking of another witticism while other people are trying to have a sensible conversation.

an aeroplane between towers

 It's not my photograph, and l don't know who took it, but sometimes the shot is timed just right.

Colour me impressed.

hugh hefner hard of hearing due to viagra

 I wonder what attracted the beautiful young lady to a man 60 years her senior who laid down so many rules, and surely (don't call me Shirley) they've missed out on a 'Hard of Hearing' joke.

At least he's permanently stiff now. It's what he would have wanted.

first division football prices in 1981

The old First Division Football prices from 1981.  When ordinary working class fans including kids could easily afford tickets. Those days have long gone.


Toodle pip

never trust this corrupt government part 47845 - more shit in the waters

Just what we need.  More crap in our already shit ridden rivers, lakes and seas. Nothing to do with the Government receiving approximately 20% of their funding from property developers, and private water companies paying millions to shareholders while doing fuck all about the pollution.  Watch the property developers share prices go up as the governments mates make loads of money (again).

Never vote tory

crime and addiction letter

Someone of the cloth speaks sense which applies to both sides of The Irish Sea.
A modern day miracle.

 

Toodle pip

toryboypierce complaing about the governments chaos

A man (Andrew Pierce) who likes to be known as Tory Boy Pierce complaining about nothing working in broken chaos ridden Britain. Oh the hilarious irony of it, and complete lack of self awareness.

Never vote Tory..

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.

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.

On todays new they said summer should return to the UK next Thursday.  On checking the BBC Weather forecast online, l'd better not build my hopes up, as it looks like it's only for one day!

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.

 


Toodle pip

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.
