Did the author come clean about how much he relied on AI to do his work!

In fairness to Chaz, he's fucking older than me and wouldn't know AI if it bit him.

I do hope that, the next time you see him, you'll hold up a Len-style score?

Guessing you survived? woo-bloody-hoooo

Same again tomorrow?

My wife and daughter went wedding dress shopping yesterday. Last night, my wife showed me a short video of our daughter in her chosen dress. I'm not a particularly emotional person, but by fook I lost the battle of the tears when she showed me! I think for the first time I saw my baby girl as a grown-up and even if I say so myself, very beautiful young lady.

Went for a run last night and decided to pop in a pub for a glass of water and pint of zero alcohol beer on my way home.

Bumped into a couple I know, who I probably haven’t seen for around 10 years. We used to go for a beer or two quite regularly when our kids were at school together but drifted apart after that.

I said hello to blank expressions, reminded them who I was and their response was ‘Fuck me, you look fantastic! How much weight have you lost? Have you been going to the gym etc?’

Followed up by ‘You look better than you did the last time we saw you’ which was lovely to hear and made me realised that all the hard work, i.e. weight loss, gym work, running etc was paying off. My head barely fitted through the door after that

Had to make a couple of appointments by phone. Normally I put these off for far too long because no one ever understands me

Today I spoke to two departments in the same hospital (xray and ortho for the shoulder) and managed, with very little hassle/repetition, to make two appointments on the same day for shoulder xray and chat with shoulder surgeon

Currently very proud of myself!!

You'll get there lovely - keep on battling xxxx

Got the final installment of the FB class action settlement: $6.65

This is in addition to the original payout which was around $35 iirc.


So combined with the cash left over on the card from the original payout, I now have a grand total of $8.19

A splash of colour in the endless pishing rain.

Not the foggiest tbh. Was sent an email ages ago asking if I wanted to opt out or stay in. Decided on "in" as nothing to lose etc.
I think it had something to do with privacy.

I've been on a couple of dates with a French girl recently, she's a self confessed geek, big fan of Marvel DC etc.

I asked her what she'd said to her friend about me

"I told her He's like Thor, if you ordered from Temu"



I take that!

Every step counts

Automation makes me happy! I'm drinking a cup of tea on the decking whilst my robo vacuum cleaner is vacuuming and my robo lawn mower is, err, lawn mowering!

Got my logbook back from DVLA. They took just under 2 weeks to remove my private plate and issue the new logbook and retention certificate. So now, the milkfloat, can be sold and a new toy can be bought.

Yes and it actually cuts the grass now I've adjusted it properly! TBH I think the key is definitely to cut your lawn first and just let this maintain it. It doesn't seem to be very accurate with its mapping, and youcan see where it misses bits. You can press the "spot mow" function and it will target that area, but I think i'll just leave it to get there in its own time.
