What is wrong with these ghouls? Just because this can be done, doesn’t mean that it should be.

In the 1985 Doctor Who serial Vengeance on Varos, an authoritarian regime run by a weak man keeps the downtrodden population in line by broadcasting public executions to distract from the fact that it has tanked the economy through a combination of incompetence, arrogance and institutional cruelty.

Raising a glass to Sir Donald Sinden – born this day 1923 Having recently finished his two volumes of memories, I can thoroughly recommend them to anyone who likes long rambling discursive anecdotes peppered with shameless name-dropping, theatrical bluster and irrelevant details galore.

Happy tenth anniversary to the time the Reading Chronicle didn’t know what a plant room is.

Crane disruption
AN enormous crane that will lift a room full of plants into a 14 sto-rey building will close town cen-tre roads in October.
Station Road and Garrard Street will be shut and Friar Street and Blagrave Street reversed between 5am October 15 and 5am October 17. The temporary measures will allow contractors working on the Thames Tower to install a 500 tonne crane that will put a prefabricated plant room onto the roof of the building.

Alan Bennett, who authored a wonderfully larded with subtext fictional conversation between Blunt & HMQ in ‘A Question of Attribution’, always wondered if she knew, and if he knew if she knew. A former private secretary eventually told him “They both *knew*, but that is not to be said”.

Denis Healey on David Owen

Healey kept a shelf of Spitting Image puppets as latex mementoes of his turbulent political life - among them Margaret Thatcher, Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock and David Owen. As he picked up the Owen puppet and squeezed it to make it squeak, I quoted Owen's view that when Healey stood for the Labour leadership in 1980 he “didn't have the guts to take on the left wing of the party”. “That's absolute bollocks," snorted Healey. “David Owen was a very self-centred person. He was good-looking, he was intelligent, he had immense charm and all these presents were given to him by the good fairy and then the bad fairy came along and tapped him on the shoulder and said, '... but you'll be a shit.”

I don’t have a choice about using AI, unfortunately. It’s annual objective setting season here. I’ve been presented with a set of Claude written objectives by the boss. HR advise to run through CoPilot to get into the right format for Workday. It’s all so utterly meaningless and futile.

I was literally thinking the exact same thing. On balance, it's for the best that these losses seal themselves away from society, interaction and the human experience.
