It won't be long until shops start playing those awful Chr*stm*s songs over their loudspeakers. If they haven't started already.

I once bought a CD that supposedly contained brass band covers of punk songs. The opening track did indeed feature a brass band, but the rest were obviously just someone noodling around with a synthesiser - badly!

There was an LP copy of that in the back catalogue section of our local Woolworths for several years. It only went when they stopped selling LPs altogether.

I've just posted a reply to a recently posted YouTube video pointing out some important information regarding this subject of that video. Given the masses of inconsequential guff that's already appeared in the comments, it's highly unlikely that they're ever going to see it.

A black and white photo of an old woman asleep in her armchair, unaware that the balloon bobbing about on the table next to her is about to be popped by a mischievous kitten. There are words applied to each of them - the old woman is "AI COMPANIES", the balloon is "AI" and the mischievous kitten is "REALITY".

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

That curious social media trend which I can only sum up as:

Me: Look at this amazing car.
You: Look at this horrible car crash

Me: I like this person from history.
You: He was a cunt.

Really needs to stop.
