I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

A description of rape and abuse which lays bare the life lived by the victims and the horror of the world which contains so many predators and the people who enable them.
A hard read, but it shouldn't be ignored.

Removing trans rights, banning trans people from sports, taking away care for trans people puts you on the wrong side of history.

A customer phoned me at 6:45am to ask about his guitar, and when I told him the time and that he'd just woken me up, he apologised and CARRIED ON TALKING.

I suggested to my daughter that we could arrange some of her plushies in front of my guitars to show them off and also show she's not the only one who collects things, and I woke up to this :O)

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

it's not really had much of a fanfare, as I've literally no idea how 'media' works these days, but my latest album Amsterdam feels like a bit of a high water mark in my recent output. Give it a listen if that sounds appealing :)

Bob Holness came up with the idea for the TV Gameshow “Blockbusters” after he was so upset at being replaced by Sean Connery when James Bond went from radio to screen that he asked his agent “Which C stole my job?!”
