I thought, he's probably the talented keyboard player who got Grade 8 when he was 13. The obvious front man, who looked like a cross between David Bowie and Bryan Ferry, would be the singer. Surely he would ….?

I think this may be the best sentence I have read this past decade …

‘He holds forth, the all-powerful potentate in Doritos bronzer, the most aureate of mighty assholes, entertaining a confederacy of smiling despots’.

You’ll never get a surprise from AI, copying and ripping off and regurgitating, absorbing all intellectual thought and claiming to own it, without paying a cent to the original creators who did the hard bit. https://t.co/rXRWtXT8EF

‘Are you 30 yet, Paul?’ he asked. ‘No, next year’, I replied. He looked pensive. ‘When women get to 30, they decide they are old. When men get to 40, they reluctantly accept that one day, they may become old. And that’s much worse’...

She was promoting something rather expensive. I thought she’d long since stopped being paid to be professionally pretty, but apparently not. I inferred she is now once again a hired hand. Or rather, a hired face...

Maureen was surrounded by people who made guttural noises when they spoke and wore woollen scarves with black and white stripes. One day, her landlady took pity on her. ‘Go to a dance’, she said, ‘you might meet someone nice’...

(En)Titled
At this TV reunion quite a lot of squinting went on, as people tried to remember someone’s name, or what they did, or indeed if they had ever slept with them. And then the former presenter made a speech ...

'Most people don't attempt to be even a little bit good', said the Confucius of the Cutting Room. 'They tolerate happy mediocrity, keep their heads down, make no waves. This is excellent news if you try just that little bit harder'..

PratGPT
People turn off their brains, hoping some random tool coming live from an over-heated data centre swallowing billions of planet-guzzling volts will do their work for them. In the process, they forget that crucial thing called ‘thinking’.

I’m an equal opportunities bawler. I cry at films, and I’m Sorry I haven’t A Clue, and in the opera house, and even at cute kids on ‘You’ve Been Framed’. ‘Diven’t bubble, man’, kids used to say at school, in the Geordie vernacular, but it’s good to cry.

They filmed me staring into the distance, pretending to act like someone happy to have avoided throwing three grand away on a cheap huckster’s scam. I found this rather easy. I must be a natural thespian. Next step RADA...

You could imagine the street parties in the war, and the blitz spirit, as Tootsie held court in the local boozer, always clutching a pint of mild with a whisky chaser. Quite a lot of whisky chasing went on with her, to be fair

My Nana had been to the Spiritualist meeting, and received a message. ‘Your Grandson is going to go a long way’. I thanked her, wondering if I should ask her to thank the Spirit too? Much obliged, your ghostliness.

Everyone local had a Geordie accent, which terrified my Mother. Aged 5 I was regularly met after school with ‘you can talk like that in the playground, but not at home’. This did not go down well. Poor old me; bullied over a diphthong.
