The speakers in my bestie's car have gone wrong and make weird crackles and screeching noises.

Got a new chap at work and I'm convinced he's an AI. Everything he writes is *almost* like a human wrote it, but just a little not right.

Going to be weird watching races and not cheering for Sanne Cant. She's been the top rider for as long as I've followed #cyclocross, so she feels to me like a permanent feature of the sport.

Conker's Bad Fur Day, featuring drinking binges, smoking, graphic violence, adult themes and (a lot of) poo jokes.
The 4th rarest Nintendo 64 game, according to some.

Watched The Illusionist earlier. Not a bad film, but would have been better if Edward Norton with that hairstyle and goatee didn't remind me so much of Noel Edmonds.

The Type 746.
So iconic that, even now, 58 years after it was introduced, it is What A Telephone Looks Like.
All models were named after their colour, incidentally, except for the brown one which was for some reason called The Yeoman.

Nice little find - a 1912 Verner Pattern VI compass, made in 1912.
Its original owner scratched his name into the case, and I found some history: he went away to fight in 1914 and it pleased me to find he survived...

Not surprised. I went to see the show in London with a couple of friends who are fans, and there was an unpleasant undercurrent in quite a lot of his material.

‘There was a nastiness’: has Peter Kay thrown out his cuddly image along with his ‘garlic bread’ hecklers?
The chummy everyman seemed to let his facade slip as he brutally ejected two hecklers from a recent gig – a misstep that showed he’s out of touch with the current cut-and-thrust of standup
