Lots of things are now called "AI" when they are just plain old computing in the same way that this was called a "COMPUTER BOOK" when it was just a plain old magnet

THE AMAZING MAGIC COMPUTER BOOK of FOOTBALL from the early 1970s. Each page featured 12 images and only one right answer to the question.
INSTRUCTIONS
The computer will answer all the questions in the book.
Let the computer check your answers or supply the solution to questions which you are unable to answer.
The questions and problems are on the left hand pages. Put the pointer on the computer disc to the number of the question. Now insert the special bookmark, close the book and tap gently on the cover.

Interesting to have the doors open 2 hours after the event starts. Does this mean you can watch the FPC game for nothing and then they chuck you out? @alicesoapbox.bsky.social

Extract of ticket to the NPC & FPC double header today. Point of interest is that

I was obsessed with Blue Oyster Cult for a time and ordered their lyrics which arrived printed on this - turned out that even when I knew the lyrics, they still made no sense to me. I'd like your blue-eyed horseshoe I'd like your emerald horny toad I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road

To get more respect from the players, the referee for the upcoming World Cup final should dress like the ref from the first final back in 1930. And be an absolute unit ....

I still think everything about that Godz album appears to be a spoof including the titles on the first side. I did inherit the very first Now That's What I Call Music album which is something special

All of them except this one - definitely open to offers for this one!

Forgotten in all the frothing about Ben Stokes, another 35 year old (who didn't make his test debut until he was 28) hit his first test century for 3 years while taking multiple blows to body and head. He followed it up with 2 great catches to help NZ win the test match and the series #BlackCaps
