Selby is undoubtedly amazing but...

The snooker robot isn't that inspiring.

Also, Trump is a bit of an underachiever? For all his talent he's not won as much as he should have?

I am hoping for a Trump comeback.
Nothing against Selby but he's a boring snooker robot.
Either way, it's great snooker!

Some of you watched the world cup draw out of choice?

What were you expecting, something that wasn't excruciating?

Maybe catch a few?
Taking 15 wickets to get 10 might make the game a bit harder but what do I know.

You don't know a good score until both teams have batted.

Well, we know a good score now and England were well short of it.

This made me laugh too much as I am also very childish :)
What's the stupidest thing you ever got in trouble for? I have... a few, some of which I've detailed here before.

But you might not have heard about the time the Daily Mail did a bullet-point scare job on me in 2016, because I tricked Selfridges staff into printing rude words on some Nutella jars.

AI can generate worthless "art", write drivel emails for you and analyse documents in a way that ensures you learn nothing but still a blocked number can leave a voicemail.

The phone doesn't ring because it, and the network, know it's spam so WHY DIRECT IT TO VOICEMAIL THEN?!?!
