TIL there's something called Yeokens (Yeo Valley Tokens) and having had it explained, it appears to be some sort of middle class Bitcoin.

If I was still at the bar, this would be my entry in a legal directory.

Anyone know how to turn of the 'vibes' setting in Google Maps. I have put the same route in three times in the last 12 hours. Same conditions. A different set of routes each time and denial that anything shown previously exists.

Almost a year since I last posted. Now only opened if someone sends me a link. A couple of my own videos that I need to download but otherwise could be deleted.

Not to tell anyone how to run parliamentary business during playoff season, but Canadian senators did once suggest modifying the schedule to accommodate broadcasts ⚾🇨🇦

WORLD SERIES
RADIO BROADCASTS

On the Orders of the Day:
Hon. W. M. Aseltine: Honourable senators, before the Orders of the Day are called, I should like to draw the attention of the honourable leader of the government to the fact that the World Series baseball games are now in progress, and that they are being broadcast over the air each afternoon. Many of us who follow these games throughout the season would like to hear these broadcasts, and I would therefore suggest that future sittings of the Senate be called for 4 o’clock in the afternoon instead of 3 o’clock. We would be glad to sit an hour later, in order to make that arrangement possible.

Some Hon. Senators: Oh, oh.

Hon. Mr. Euler: Are the games over by 4 o’clock?

Hon. Mr. Leger: Let us amend the rules.

Hon. Mr. Robertson: The best I can say in answer to my friend is that I will take the matter under consideration.

Some Hon. Senators: Oh, oh.

Hon. Mr. Haig: That means it is a dead issue.

Quite!

I’m just not willing to accept this.

It’s WHSmith and that’s that.

Feels like I’ve woken up after travelling back in time and it’s the butterfly effect in action.

[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]

1
SOCRATES:
Plato..

PLATO:
Yes Socrates?

2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?

PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates

3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?

PLATO:
Um, yep

4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then

5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]

SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?

6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel

7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.

PLATO:
No.

8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]

So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?

9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really

10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?

PLATO:
‘Spose not.

11
[Bleak pause]

12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock

SOCRATES:
Yeah

[ends]

A British Airways flight and they’ve run out of tonic water. I would have assumed tonic was on the MEL and would make this aircraft inoperable. I was offered gin and lemonade. A raised eyebrow from me and wine and Diet Coke were dispensed.

Took longer than normal for the inflight wifi to be switched on. I was getting jittery.

(My colleague Simon likes to regale the tale of flying to Chicago with me when they announced 30 mins in flight that they wifi was inoperable. He claims I ‘just checked’ every 20 mins. I maintain it was hourly)

Reminded myself that South African Nando’s hot, is hotter than UK extra hot.

Just over 20 years ago I tried SA Extra Hot without knowing the consequences and it literally ended in tears.
