    Was on the verge of winning 2025 Strictly, but was discovered to have lied about only having one leg <laugh>

    A few of the camera crew had noticed, but embarrassment and good manners had prevented anyone from pointing it out <doh>

    The semi-Final dance routine to 1960's classic 'Jake the Peg' gave the game away :emoticon-0169-dance

    Blimey - they are huge I thought they were like the size of a fat tabby! Bit reckless tho to release them even if well intended.

    I'm reluctant to opening this link, whilst back in Bromley a few months back I was in Lidl and bumped into Kojak, he was stocking up on said aftershave.

    The more I hear about AI, the more positive I feel about it.

    Some are saying AI could lead to cures for all Cancers within ten years.
    That sounds a bit far-fetched right now, but even if it took 20 years, it would still be a staggering conquest of immeasurable suffering.
    And it raises hopes for other cures too;
    Alzheimer's
    Motor Neuron Disease
    Parkinson's
    Multiple Sclerosis

    What a blessing those achievements would be.

    And AI does not have to mean Artificial Sentience, or Artificial self-awareness, which would greatly worry me.
    A pity about all that recent guff about teaching millions of youngsters about coding though.
    In the time it takes to do a degree course in that, it will become irrelevant.
    AI can do it for you.
    Like your homework <doh>

    Any help for the said above, however long it may take will be worthwhile.

    Any individual now sitting next to me on public transport playing music / videos gets told to turn it off / move. It’s working well so far.

    It’s my small fightback in London against the lack of courtesy & civilisation.

    I don't envy anyone who has to use public transport.

    Like many things in this Country it's a good idea - indeed we invented it about 200 years ago.
    But it is so dreadfully under-resourced and has been for decades, that it barely functions.

    I assume (in the interests of courtesy and civilisation) that by 'told' you mean 'politely asked'... at least to begin with.

    Must admit I would be too cautious to comment on most occasions, for fear of getting something sharp bought on the internet stuck in me.
    If I saw an innocent person being harassed I'd like to think I would step in somehow.
    But I doubt I would comment regarding music or videos.

    A sad state of affairs, and not rosy subject for the Good News thread.
    But fair play to you @Likey if you feel you can do it.
    The only good news from my perspective is that everywhere I go these days I drive.
    And it looks like I'm going to avoid getting too poorly to drive safely :emoticon-0157-sun:
    Beggars at traffic lights is the worst I have to put up with.

    Sadly, yes. Every day you would have a fight on public transport if you spoke up.

    Jimmy Mizen’s murderer returned to prison overnight, after breaching his licence conditions <applause><applause><applause><applause>

    No surprise to see the scumbag wants to re-invent himself as a rapper.
