You could make a randomised conspiracy generator and still be outfoxed by the sheer volume of monkeys at keyboards on the hellsite.

Forgot that one, but absolutely another great example.

West Ham on multiple occasions (Defoe in particular). But this isn't even the first instance for Liverpool. McManaman got same treatment, Owen got it too.

This was maybe the inventor of the hologram theory. Long & lanky, nervous. Went on all the niche public broadcaster shows. Just had a search and came up blank. Maybe it's still out there.

I hope the crazy hologram guy vids are still online. He was such an unusual individual, but so utterly dedicated to his own special craft.

Ours is her commanding the window on her side of the car by counting down.
Sometimes have fun opening the wrong window and getting her to wobble her head about until it resets.

They have to fulfil their prophecy that advocating people wear masks 5 years ago would result in people not trusting vaccines. Otherwise they'll look stupid to their twitter followers.

CM9394 if you just want to pick players and go.
CM9798 if you want the tactical and scouting.
CM3 if you want to pick and choose just how much you need to do.
After that it's a real hodge podge of increasingly insensible complexity.

It's okay, they can keep converting abandoned hospitals to "affordable" dorms.
They finally commodified squatting.

This is why one of my first question is always:
How many rows should there be?
How many rows are there?
I don't trust AI to tell me the truth, only to interpret what people ask it.

A corrected macro fixed it, but not without needing hundreds of thousands of entries into a system needing manually deleted, and purged, to prevent duplicate record data to our customer.
Reaching for the macro became a learning experience just as reaching for AI will be also.

This is the difference with all timesaving tools. They only save time if someone with adequate expertise analyses make sure they do what is intended.
Can remember someone making a macro in a system, leaving it for 8 hours, then someone (me) pointing out the decimal error throughout.

Not that I want to defend them, but there is a group of SovCit who believe in the difference between "non-" and "none".
It's not enough to be a "non-citizen", they have to go the full "none citizen" and declining the full meaning and intent of any law they meet.

We want to manufacture things but not have the ability to sell them abroad.
We want to be able to buy bananas farmed by British workers.
Also, can we get the moon on a stick?

Watched a youtube vid of Eddie Dempsey lauding the collapse of globalisation, thrn making a whole raft of sweeping recommendations to governmemt.
Meanwhile, globalisation is going nowhere.
I thought the RMT had somewhat realised the error of Brexit, but they're still ignoring reality.

There was a Harrier game that was basically a Falklands "sink the Belgrano" simulator on the Speccy.

When it comes it won't be "right wing populism" because the voters are (largely) not right-wing populists - just people who feel they are without representation.
Like a lot of people who voted SNP were not Scots Nationalists / Independence Seekers - but it promised representation.

He has a particular set of skills.
Not those skills.
Other ones. Horticultural ones.

That's a lot of imported Chinese dropship stuff. Deminimis about to hit where Tariffs didn't already.

The number of court cases he is racking up is the reason he is also shaking down all those law firms for free representation.

Without watching, I immediately know those are TTD's backing singers. I'm almost certain they are in on the joke. Going for Go West and Holly Johnson / Marc Almond get up.

Will be interesting to see the permanently absent from his own job Farage try to do the jobs of all his councillors without being present again.

Any shitshow will be blamed on the council, not the councillors - just like when UKIP were in the European Parliament.

That I can watch ad free on my PC at no cost, then be faced with anything from 2 x 6 second ads, or 3 hour ads (not even kidding) on Xbox youtube app is reason enough to be sus of their intent.
AI James Dyson trying to sell me an investment opportunity is evidence enough ads are not about quality.

Ah, so it will be the fault of the retailers for not pre-ordering.
The panic buying and subsequent gouging is going to be off the charts.

The only modernisation that would work is a Kryten type "we put dog brain in robot body" and watch the jokes write themselves.
You could then have parallel Dr Who type transformations to suit their personality etc where K9 actively adapts themselves.

There was one of those studies where you had to pick bodies / faces from a lineup and then they melanged them all together to create this prototypical "most attractive" - and there was a difference between men / womens perspective of their own gender (as normal people would expect).

Most sitcom shows have a largely well-meaning cast of characters. It's why shows like "Always Sunny in Philadelphia", "The Office" or "Peep Show" are relatively unique for the quantity of characters who are much more diverse (and often horrible to others intentionally).

The only issue I have had with 111 is its inability to handle parent and child situations. Two people with same symptoms, child sent to GP for antibiotics - adult sent to Pharmacist and had to wait another 3 days for antibiotics. Its a pity because so great in many ways.
