Son has just emerged from his den and played the bass line of Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Self-taught, learned it in about twenty minutes and will probably never bother doing it again for about six months. I have *no* idea how he can pick stuff like this up so easily.

How to know if people have just cheated and looked up an address on Google Maps: if they use the name ‘Loverose Way’ in an address. Loverose Way is a placeholder name used by Google for unadopted or unnamed roads. Apparently there’s one where I work, but it doesn’t actually exist.

I see that the USA has appointed the person who will do this murder by firing squad…

I’m a Sunderland fan but have never heard of Charles Befon, Tommy Cubeth, Berly £thman, Aldy Hodgn, Glenn Donien, Tommy Eleef, Paul Aguees, Petry Holls, Betery Ward or Tommy Soal. DON’T USE AI folks.

I’m actually going out of the house tomorrow so will miss #totp. If somebody could do all of my jokes for me then I’ll buy you a half pint of dandelion and burdock.
