I joined a tour of the Keelmen's Hospital in Newcastle yesterday. Built in 1701, it is currently being restored and regenerated by the Tyne & Wear Building Preservation Trust (keelmens.twbpt.org.uk).

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]

JANET:
Ugh...

LIZ:
What's up?

JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!

LIZ:
Have you tried...

AI peas?

JANET:
AI peas?

LIZ:
They're peas with AI!

[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].

LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas

JANET:
What

LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]

Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?

[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]

LIZ:

Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine

[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]

LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!

JANET:
What

LIZ:
Shut up

LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow

From opening the bag of peas

to boiling the peas

to eating the peas

To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.

JANET:
Is it really necessary to-

LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET

[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:

AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

[Ends]

Truly is a sad state of affairs when someone has to work 16 jobs just to keep five or six roofs over their head.

Expected to be more expensive per mile than #hs2 but it's a motorway in the south east so Labour are throwing money at it like it doesn't matter. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

£16 million for a tunnel in the north of England is far too expensive. £10 billion for a motor tunnel near London is fine though. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Had a great afternoon watching Home Alone accompanied by the Royal Northern Sinfonia. Such a brilliant film alreaey but a live orchestra and choir make it something else.
