I like the image this conjures. A cup of char before the violence starts... From: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Snippet from a Guardian story. It reads:

In front of a crowd of 55,744, forward Bia Zaneratto was sent off in added time for a second yellow card before tea-mate Tarciane was ordered off for elbowing USA forward Sophia Wilson.

tea-mate, of course, being a Grauniad classic.

Strange way to make hot chocolate with milk... from a kettle.

Costa coffee hot chocolate powder tin with instructions.

1 ADD 3-4 HEAPED TEASPOONS IN A MUG
2 FILL WITH HOT MILK (OR NON-DAIRY ALTERNATIVE)
3 STIR WELL, KICK BACK AND ENJOY

Step 2 has the milk coming from a kettle.

Had a ferret in the loft and found this. A working 1972 Hammond 102200 mini synth.

Top view of the synth. 3 1/2 octave keyboard and patch bank.

Closer view of the patch bank.
There are presets on the right (French horn, violin and space echo amongst them), octave selectors and filters elsewhere.
A slider allows you to add wind (noise) and tune it.
Some button tops are missing, but the button works OK.

So, turns out the way to throw the local electrical appliance shop is to ask if the kettle they're suggesting is left-handed. Turns out, it was. Trust me, right-handed kettles are a pain in the 'how full is this again?'

A depressed AI chatbot goes to a doctor, says life is harsh, unforgiving, cruel. The doctor says treatment is simple. "The great AI assistant Gemini has all the answers you need. Go & ask it." The AI bursts into tears. "But doctor," it says, "you can use gasoline to make a spicy spaghetti sauce."
