I've seen Rachel Parris in other stuff (Austentatious) and she's been terrific. Pretty sure this will be too.

… years is at least as good as a PA who worked for me for 5 years”. Each of you seemed to be convinced you were right, but the nuance of the language used meant you both feared the other’s argument was counter to yours, It wasn’t. Never mind that - it’s great to have you back on IM.

Oh, it was a difficult listen Paris. If I’d been listening live I’d have jumped Into Discord. I’m convinced you & Leo were both right. You were saying “if I adopt an AI assistant it won’t be as good as a PA who has worked for me for 5 years. Leo was saying “the AI assistant I’ve trained for 5 …

If anything cries of ”two-tier Kier”, it’s when people using placards to protest Palestinian genocide are termed terrorists, and people using arson to terrorise immigrants are termed protesters. Surely the clues are in the language.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social - freeview TV's out of sync. As I ascend stairs at home I hear you say phrase on downstairs TV, then hear you say same phrase again upstairs. issue is because TVs have to convert digital signal to analog, and do this at different rates. Older/larger TVs tend to be slower.

“Andrew Neill addresses all politicians equally” Nah, on consecutive Sundays he did pre-election interviews with May and Corbyn, with these opening questions: Corbyn: ”how can you defend your historic meetings with the IRA?“ May: ”what are you most excited about delivering once you are in power?”

Particularly frustrating when I only pre-bought your book (and got accredited in the printed version) as a way of saying "Thank you" for "This week in Tory". That clearly didn't work out. Do I still owe you a tenner?

Yes, they're appalling. What if: previous US requests weren't lawful, so Britain said no. But what if, now that Iran is making retaliatory strikes, intervention is legal, even if it was triggered by Trump attacks. Law first, politics second.

Thank goodness. There's no point in declaring "Total Transparency" about Mandelsom with the exception of matters relating to International relations - when IMHO Trump's insistence on Mandie is the single most likely cause for the decision. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

psst, @mrjamesob.bsky.social - Lee Child has retired, his brother Andrew writes the Reacher novels now. I'm not the biggest fan fan of Andrew's Reacher novels, but Lee is perfectly entitled to his retirement, so I'll stick with re-reading the old ones - `61 Hours` is a favourite.

I see a Disney+ series titled "Welcome to Kiddie", starring JoB & Keith. They humorously cover the history of Kiddie through a long, long Bayeux carpet, and invite competitors for "UK's youngest Keith" - to be non-ratiak, GOLD.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social - Steward's Enquiry on Deja-Vu. I'd heard that your brain was able to `store` the new information much, much quicker than it could `search` through past memories of that fact - and sometimes `search` chances on the newly stored information, thinking it was there all along.
