It seems apt that Manchester City fans adopted the Poznan, a celebration where everybody looks the other way.

Agreed! I've already looked for and bookmarked local stockists.

He was the bass player, and the other half of the 'Chic' production team. A legend that we lost too soon, alas.

Please don't forget Bernard!

I wouldn't be so aggrieved if they'd kept it at original TV speed. This is the equivalent of the last beep before the continuous tone.

I can't believe that I put my life savings on a bet that I wouldn't hear a worse song than Scooch tonight. Now what the hell am I going to do?!? #totp

Yes, indeed, he makes it look so effortless... Unlike young Philbert, who clearly has lots to learn still 😁

The BBC of yesteryear gave me so much. So, so much. Like many, It's shaped my life to an immeasurable degree. But it's time to take a stand.

Note to self: Buy two more Little Black Sandbags for the wardrobe. Classic.

Oh, who am I kidding - five or six. The halcyon days of being able to fit into three or four are long gone.

I always get a brief moment of personal alarm when I read headlines like these, until I remember that I'm now in my 50s so unlikely to get conscripted. And then I remember that if push came to shove, I could probably be stuffed into three or four sandbags.

"Do you dig graves?" "Yeah, they're alright, yeah" Oh wow - is this why Hale & Pace were a couple of grave diggers in The Young Ones "Nasty" ?!? 🤯

Just chuck in a porter. Seemed to work for Billy-boy. 😁

What I want is a TV documentary channel entirely devoted to documentaries with no quick-cut montages of everything about to happen, which don't give a fuck about keeping my attention, presented by extremely knowledgeable people in a terrible mood who have no interest in trying to make me like them

This is potentially huge. Though the pessimist in me is predicting that everyone on Earth bar the lawyers will just end up with a $10 voucher for McDonalds.

Coming back to these, as I've just bought some. My excitement was immediately tempered upon opening the packet, to be greeted with the unmistakeably awful smell of a well exercised wet dog. Couldn't get past it to try one. Straight in the bin. 🤢

Shut the fuck up! You build cloud software! You are in full control of what gets built or not! Just because you don’t fully understand how Large Language Models make their decisions doesn’t mean that they’re “out of control” or “have their own intentions,” and your unwillingness to explain the difference and further fuel anthropomorphism only makes me more certain that you need to shut your fucking mouth.

‘Godfather of AI’ says tech regulation is nearing Covid-style pivot moment

They should have taken the opportunity to combine the Stanford Prison Experiment, the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment, and the Stanford Linear Accelerator into a show where people assigned as guards or prisoners are repeatedly bombarded with either one marshmallow now or two marshmallows later.

Heh - they absolutely won't! They'll just distract you with multiple strands of chaos and utterly baffling behaviour, which is why we love them 🥰
