Today I was reminded of your recent posts about AI and calling GP surgeries. Rang mine and had to listen to 1m30s of recorded blah blah blah before I could speak to a human. The cringeworthy moment came when the word 'clinicians' was pronounced "Clinick-ee-ans". That did make me feel quite ill!

I'm on catch-up,just got to the last song. UK entry probably in my top 3 along with Norway and Bulgaria. Have seen a couple of comments along the way from people refusing to listen to UK song because he's singing in a foreign language! 🙄 🤣

High praise indeed. Just watched the investiture ceremony too, all the speeches gave much food for thought. Plus, if they ever make a film of your life, Joan Torrent could probably fulfil the role of scriptwriter 😎
