Discovered this wonderful bench while wandering around Waterbeach

A.I. is presented as a Librarian when it's really a bloke down the pub after 3 pints. Sure, Jeff will write an essay on neo-classical architecture for you but it will probably need some rewriting.

A.I. has managed to transform the computing adage of GIGO to just GO.

Just discovered that the new Reform UK treasurer is called Nick Candy. #NominativeDeterminism

I visited Skegness on Wednesday, it's now has a Reform MP. I'm pretty sure the events are unrelated.

Just read from Nora Ephron and thought was worth sharing, "I have thought about their remarks, tried to put myself in their place, considered their point of view, I think they are full of shit."

If you're a fan of the late Steve Albini you may wish to watch this film from The Scaramanga Six when he produced their album Phantom Head. youtu.be/2Toaub140Fs?...
