They keep saying the AI bubble is about to burst, but I'm not so sure it will ☹️

You get reviews? You lucky bastard.

For the record, I definitely won't be naming characters after people who leave me one star reviews.

My great grandfather's sister left her fortune to Battersea Dogs Home, bar travel expenses for everyone who attended her funeral. My grandad was at the will reading and was the only one who thought it was hilarious. Everyone else was furious.

Or make it thicker than 5mm. That'll push it up into the large letter category.

*high five* I'm 51 now, and have had the same experience. I knew I'd be an awful parent so I avoided it. Which is not to say I hate children. I get on well with them. I still am one, truth be told.

In my defence, I'd only been awake for about five minutes when I typed that. Takes a while for me to stop being sleep addled and start making sense.

My husband wore a suit he bought in Sainsburys when we got married. I was fine with that. I just wanted him to be comfortable on the day.

Ditto. I'd hate that to happen too.

The French would say I pronounce my name wrong but my parents never put the accent over the first e, i.e. Léonie when they registered me. I may have not got jobs etc over the years because of my name but I don't know.

Thank you! That makes me very happy and even happier knowing that we're still in touch after all these years ❤️

Yay!

Salut, Kate's C4! My dad has a C4. He's had it for several years though not sure how many. It's a reliable old war horse of a car.

It's his mother's name. If we're going by Prince Philip's family name before the 1917 change, it'd be Battenberg.

If I remember correctly, the Battenberg cake was created in 1913 to celebrate the marriage of Philip's grandparents, Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, and Louis of Battenberg.

I'm from the part of Suffolk where Lovejoy is set. When you see the second to last ever episode, I was standing behind the crew when they filmed the library scene. Also my grandmother saw Tinker in the village newsagents most mornings when he was filming. Affable chap, I gather.
