Professional IT nerd, amateur photographer, shining wit. Once managed to get 2 answers right in Only Connect but it made my brain hurt for days. I will block or play with any suspected non human interlocutors.

I believe somebody once said:
Change their mind
And change the world.
No idea where I heard it. You could probably make a nice little song with those words in somewhere.

I saw a documentary about him about a year ago where as a young man he swept chimneys. That can't have been good for his lungs.
Having said that he did seem to use an unusual methodology of climbing onto the roof first and presumably sweeping downwards, so avoiding breathing in much of the soot.

The only thing about Santa's physical appearance that's always puzzled me is why a magical person such as Mr Clause would need to wear glasses.

I was at a gig with 50,000 people and a member of the band asked the audience "How y'all doing?".
By the time everyone had finished answering and the ones that weren't doing so well were given suitable advice, 7 hours had passed.
Musicians - never ask the crowd for their opinion. It causes delay.

Surely you mean a made in China gold coloured Trump phone? They are the bestest phones ever, and all the people in the world want one.

Some examples:
Watch how the humans bend forwards to the dogs in an unnatural way.
Also look only at the people in the background. Most of them don't move at all.

I think the humans covered themselves in AI slop, and the dogs went for the smelliest.

In my student days I was put off by a cookbook for clearly more experienced people that'd say things like 'heat oven to a moderate temperature', or 'use a skewer to check if cooked' without explaining how or what or why.
My favourite was the section on cookery for 'leftovers'. As if I'd have any.

For me it was a terrible film because Michael Caine always looks and sounds like Michael Caine whatever he's in.
I thought he was playing 2 people like Peter Sellers did occasionally, so the surprise ending was totally wasted. And the plot relies on the other characters picking up an idiot ball.

Anyone speaking to customer service should ask for a lawyer, tell them you're using your right to silence, then keep quiet. Usually they'll ask seemingly innocent questions like 'hello, is anyone there?'. Do not fall for it. And remember they aren't there to help you, regardless of what they say.

You can tell Sidney's done her research because of all the highly detailed strategic colour coded maps in the background, which clearly show just how much thought the administration is putting into this.
