    I haven't got an Alexa, but I have got a google home mini, and the command is supposedly "OK google" or "hey google".
    I say supposedly because it's piped up quite a few times with random information that no one has asked it, and it has even answered a question on The Chase.

    I'm moving house on Friday. My loft needs clearing out. Went up today and it was a bit warm. Bad timing with the red alert weather warnings.

    Young lad 13, tragically has drowned in river , watching report on ITV Tyne Tees news. I can’t believe that families in such circumstances ring the media to talk about it - so do the insensitive scummy reporters actually make contact to ask the question “ how are you feeling about it ?”

    I suppose that the people who are suggesting the idea of not having to go to work if the weather is hot, will turn up at the shops , bars , hospitals etc expecting to be served and attended to by fully staffed premises

    Yeah sit in beer gardens with staff serving them.

    If you can work from home work from home in the heat, is the other suggestion I have seen.

    This only really covers people who work in an office type environment where their work can be done remotely. Most offices have air con so I suggest they will be more comfortable at work.

    I'm currently traipsing around Heathrow Airport for work. Haven't even got to the terminal I'm working in yet as I didn't realise the trains between terminald weren't constant like the underground so sat waiting for ages!

    I’ve got Alexa as well. She sometimes gets a bit stroppy if I’m slow in giving her the time setting I want, but - it’s someone to talk to!

    Halifax Town's striker Jamie Allen has been announced as a new inmate sorry contestant on Love Island - just after signing a new contract with the club. Apparently being on the telly is very important to him so he's ****ed off. Halifax are supposedly going to be looking into the matter upon his return! <laugh>

    just had a chuckle at talksport. Charlie Austin went on a rant about Alex Crook having a go a Jesse Lingard yesterday. In the rant he said "just let him be", so they decided to playe Let it be by the Beatles and dubbed Charlie in. Canny funny. I remember the rant he had and the dubbed Park life over the top of it.

    Even I don’t dress like that and I’m 85! Except for the black footwear.

    Took my daughter in to River Island to buy her some clothes for going on holiday the other day. No tills open in the kids bit so had to go into the mens section and there was mannequin in there wearing exactly the kind of thing me grandfather would have worn, and he died in 1989.

    Anyone got any info on this? I was given it years ago by a mate, but he had no idea where it came from. It's really well made, heavy and framed well. Glass front with lead work for the badge. It looks like it's signed but I can't make out the name. Any help or advice appreciated.
