@KaiXCreator Not a commercial product but I couldn’t find a website that simply showed my all English bus routes so created one myself. Was gobsmackingly easy

Sat through the whole of the Channel 4 1966 World Cup final just now and when it got near the end persuaded 19 yr old daughter to listen to the most iconic piece of football commentary of all time only for it to be “and he’s scored a third!” or something - different commentator!

Weird how Twitter people seemed to have suddenly discovered Dear England a couple of weeks after it aired on BBC1. Do agree about Wayne Rooney though!

[Lippy @LickshotLippy]

This is meant to be Wayne Rooney 😂😂😂😂😂😂 what the hell is this man? Where can I watch the full thing?

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@JDVance Because white people in the USA are famous for never stabbing or shooting people.

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@MrHarryCole What story?

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

God that was a shite season of Your Friends & Neighbours - the pseudo profundity, the cliches, ugh.

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@BotFinderUK What’s Garth from Wayne’s World doing on there, lol

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@ffs_nelson @StokeyyG2 He was very twitchy wasn’t he. I guess you need to do that in the theatre so people at the back can see but didn’t work so well on TV.

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@Strife212 And because it’s just a bunch of deterministic operations on a (very large) set of numbers and because 2 + 2 = 4 exists outside of the universe as a platonic ideal it would mean consciousness just IS and doesn’t need a physical universe to implement it.

No sympathy obviously for the stick Robert Kenyon is getting this morning but I thought he did ok given the impossible hand he’s dealt himself. Came across like a young offender up before a judge for the first time, dressed in a smart suit and being ultra polite and respectful.

Fantastic article! I was an avid NME reader in the 70s and remember them hyping Dr Feelgood and Eddie and the Hot Rods, desperate for some life. Impossible for a young person today to appreciate the sheer before and after explosion of punk and New Wave https://t.co/fmG0VBsPix

@arostad @MorbidKnowledge He would never have decided to glug some random chemical unless he’d figured out he’d probably absorbed some through his skin earlier.

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@BretVDB I don’t remember whether I actually finished LOTR back in the 70s but I do remember reading Bored of the Rings and finding that quite amusing.

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

Was obviously very important to Iron Age folk to build these but we’ve no idea now what drove them to do it, who the threat was from, what the other tribe felt… all that intrigue and politics and now nothing left but some ditches in the ground.

[Paul Whitewick @PaulWhitewick]

Hod Hill. Iron Age Hillfort with a little Rowan engineering chucked in the middle.

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@Pezzles1 @anishmoonka Yeah I’ve tried it too and didn’t understand why it worked for other people but not for me.

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@ARIKAHENRY No, because AI can’t escape from its training data, it can’t think outside the box.

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

What is the most AI-proof job? I’m thinking standup comedian

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@Zahra_Hasan @michaelsavage @TimesSport Saturday or Sunday?

[Dave Griffiths @Dave__Griffiths]

@jonnyrmitch ABBA - “oh but such exquisite craftsmanship and who doesn’t like Dancing Queen?” etc etc - no, it’s shite.
