We’ve compromised and I’ll do it with a pork chop and apple sauce (I kid myself it’s just a weird ploughmans) but there’s absolutely no chance of gravy.

I occasionally worry about what’s happening with his scratch card winnings car! Is it still rotting in a barn?

Yeah, you can recoook in another recipe or eat cold. I try to use it within three days. Refrigerate after it’s cooled down a bit.

People like to shit on tradition, but I think it's a real time-saver. I glad I don't have to figure out what I'm supposed to do about God's birthday every year. Trees and candy, done. He loves it.

Wasn’t this a side quest in the last Yakuza game?

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

It’s a little known fact that that @thecidershedpod.bsky.social is the only #TheArchers podcast that insists on meeting all their listeners. Really insists! There’s nothing you can do to stop them. Some people recommend keeping a bottle of Chablis by your front door as an offering to ward them off.

Have been out for coffee, meeting a Cider Shed podcast listener this morning, so no omnibus listening for me.

Happy Sunday, all.

Semi-serious post for a second.
These George release episodes on Thursday and Friday were exceptionally well done. Writing, acting, the whole shebang! It worked really well.

Great idea Susan. You’ve probably still got everybody’s standing orders. Probably best skip Alice’s.
