When my phone is connected, it starts replying when I am not even talking to it.

Because we all had a cup of tea in the Winchester and waited for it to all blow over.

Maybe we'll just have to have a cup of tea in the Winchester?

For context, I had to do an AI course at work this week and completed it today and passed the exam. Obviously the first thing I am going to do is make sausage memes, like anyone else would.

Sorry, the trigger word was... triggered. It's like the bat signal.

Cowling on his chimney pipe? Filthy talk - maybe he is in the mood afterall?

Maybe he should enter the pole vault too?

If it was the last available food on earth... I think I would still give it a miss.

Chips with anything is still a treat! Need to get my boys into it first.

You know you could store quite a few of those!

Absolutely right - you cannot hold yourself prisoner to your job and colleagues. They will move on and you need to do what's right for you ultimately.

So I can use it to steal your chips? Only joking!

I like curry sauce on chips (thick cut). I quite like mayo on fries. Don't actually do ketchup on chips. Also salt and vinegar can be good too. All in my humble opinion of course!

I envy you in a way - want to leave, but know it would impact a few people. New beginnings are exciting mate - let us know how it goes!

With the football season closing, I was expecting easy weekends, but both of my sons decided they love cricket, so doing that for the next few months (then pre-season football training). Oh, the life.

I haven't had any for ages - weekends I am driving around. Tomorrow I have no meetings, my kids go to school late (like 10:30), so perfect time! On Saturday it's an early start, so Thursday is my Friday!

I rarely go to bed before midnight. I seem to need exactly 7 hours sleep most of the time.

I was going to say School of Rock, but that is his sister, Joan.

It really doesn't matter - I will play any brand. I think my mum ended up with good stuff due to gigging. She got rid of my Premier drum kit when I left home though, so I do miss that.

I was always interested in the Chopin story - he was a piano salesman, but one of the most famous composers - he made music to make pianos sound good, to sell them!
Going to dust this one off tomorrow, when the new lead arrives.

I will just use a hanky if that's alright?

I am from a musical family. Apparently my great grandad was a Russian concert pianist and came over to the uk. My current grandma, being the daughter is still here at 98 years old. I have not fully utilised the musical abilities yet, but may do soon!

Any form of music enjoyment is a good thing. I had the pressure of my mum being a pro, but I do enjoy music all the same, I guess I was exposed to more music-related things. I did music A-level and was going to do it at Uni, but decided to do something else in the end.

I am fairly free with the instruments - played bass just by feel for a gig. Have played trumpet and other instruments. I took the line that I know what notes to play, so don't need to get technical on an instrument.

I am well out of practice, but used to do covers (playing in a band) - mostly 90s stuff like Nirvana. I was usually the drummer, but could play guitar too (my mum is a musician, so learned many instruments). Technically most qualified for piano/keyboard.

I don't swear in front of my grandma - she is 98 currently, so she probably has a different vocabulary anyway.

I've had this one for years - an original. Just looked and a new one is about £1,500. Hmm, wonder if I can flog it... nah, will just play it. Got some new strings I can put on it and a new lead, plus a working Park amp.
