Someone somewhere pointed out this cat looks like Hans Gruber at the end of Die Hard and I am reminded of this cat now any time I think of Alan Rickman or Die Hard.

On the last day of the Premier League there were three matches available for viewers in the UK to watch. In other countries there were ten or more. If the rights holders want to make a dent in piracy, one thing they could try is letting people watch the games legally.

While I sort a paperback publisher for Be Funny Or Die, the last remaining hardback stock is now available direct from me. I learned last night it’s a set text on some writing courses, so why not buy one and sell it to a student in Sept at a huge mark up? BUSINESS! www.gralefrit.co.uk/shop.html

This is what Roy Jenkins had to say about immigration on 8th November 1966, when he was Home Secretary. Not only an economic case; but "To live apart, for a person, a city or a country, is to lead a life of declining intellectual stimulation."

Lovely to hear from the Prime Minister that the historical policies which allowed my Mum to remain in the UK after studying here, thus enabling my existence, was a “squalid experiment in open borders”.

For those failing to get the "copilot" AI off their Microsoft Word -- If you proceed with canceling Microsoft Office, you'll get a "wait wait don't go!" screen where they suddenly offer you "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" -- which *doesn't include AI* and is actually cheaper! Weird workaround.

We didn’t trespass; that’s against the law. There are laws, upheld by our government, about infringing someone else’s rights to access, profit from and protect their property. You can’t just barge in. A principle which Meta ignored to build their AI. Could the government protect us too? Cheers!

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.
