It’s a measure of how unrealistic #AI, that it touts a branch of #McDonalds as being in any way calming.
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

I misread that as “…keeping sex toys in Farage’s Clacton orifice”… but only for comic effect.
Nigel Farage's former campaign staffer, who accused him of breaking electoral law, was expelled by Reform for allegedly keeping sex toys in Farage’s Clacton office. (Telegraph)

Agreed. Hopefully it’s just bullshit nonsense from the Daily Heil.
Also, the illiterate twats clearly don’t know the correct use of “less” vs “fewer”.

Gah! I meant “hiking and carpet shampooing”.
Fat fingers strike again.
Home from band practice now and knackered. We did OK considering there was only three of us there tonight. I sued my tech to provide the beats as well as my own playing.

Band practice after a day of hill g and carpet shampooing is tiring, even more so without our drummer.

The stupid fucking iOS/Skeets photo rotation issue has struck again, where some photos are rotated when posted, despite looking the correct way around in my Photos app, until I make an edit and save it, then it’s apparently OK.
Here it is corrected. Me with two friends and their one-eyed dog Peggy.

Coffee in bed and #SaturdayKitchen on catch-up.
Had a great night out with mates, drinking fine ales (much of it about 7% ABV, so the end of the evening was a bit of a blur.
Two pubs: Old Road Tavern and the PoW Micropub (my local).

Just saw the new episode of #DownCemeteryRoad.
Man, it was good.
I continue to be in love with Ruth Wilson. Emma Thompson is still superb in it, and all the supporting cast are spot-on.

Classic Tuesday night: Badminton 6-7pm, pub 7.15-9.15pm (with good friends, and much planning of December meet-ups, plus the first Xmas card of the year from the pub’s manager), home via the chip shop, devoured large cod & chips, and now contemplating watching another classic Tom Baker #DoctorWho.

I've received my first Christmas card of the season.
It's from the manager of my local.
I'm not sure if this is cute, or a worrying sign that the person who first thought of me this Christmas, was the manager(ess) of my preferred pub.

It’s amazing how not staying up stupidly late makes it easier to wake up earlier and feel more rested. I should try it more often.

Standard Saturday (big lie-in, coffee & pain au choc in bed, Saturday Kitchen, visit Mum in the care home) and now I’m off for a dinner party at a vegan friend’s house.
This is the DIPA brigade so I’m going armed with high-ABV beers. Last time we ended up playing SingStar until 1am!

Bunty has given me breakfast in bed allowing me to smear jam on her croissants.
Later on Jill in the village shop is giving me a taste of her Lemon drizzle.
Then Bunty & I will settle down & watch our DVD of Liz Truss’s greatest moments! 🥳

Now it’s time for this incendiary red Thai chicken curry. It’s too hot because I fenced to use up the rest of the red curry paste after the correct amount had already been added.

Earlier today I made another infamous “six sausage sandwich”. It was delicious and had just the right amount of brown* sauce. The tomatoes obviate the need for any other sauce.

I’ve just watched “Robot” - Tom Baker’s first story as The Doctor. I’ve not watched it in years. Lovely stuff.
I have almost all of classic #DoctorWho on DVD, but you can all get it on iPlayer too nowadays.
