@EmmaSzewczak An excellent example of reacting without checking - on the other side of the (brand new rebuilt with new tennis and 4g pitch) school they have a grass field 3x the size of the derelict plot being sold.....

@teacherdude @Otto_English I saw one meme with Paddington in it supporting their cause against immigration.

A literal immigrant.

Who came in a boat.

Illegally.

Forget vibe coding. It's time for Chaos Coding:

-> Prompt Claude 3.7 Sonnet with your vague idea.
-> Say "keep going" repeatedly.
-> Watch an incredible product appear from utter chaos.
-> Pretend you're still in control.

Lean into Sonnet's insanity — the results are wild.

@paulg @Kasparov63 Trump is a wannabe autocrat. Putin has nothing over him other than glamour. Trump desperately wants to be Putin.

@Harry_Lyme_212 @Sarahleigh65 @MatthewStadlen Yes sorry you are right; at first reading I thought you were making the opposite point.

FWIW I am not sure the "right" answer on this specific issue because we don't have enough info (for example; average profit of a £2M farm - I tried to find out but Govt. Figures are unclear)

This is the post US-election debacle news we all needed

Yes. No Notes. https://t.co/EXIKZAoS7T

@oldenoughtosay Does it have to be a roast/crackling? If not, 10hrs slow cooker with apple juice & spices sorts out the pork flavour. Our go-to is to serve with celeriac and apple slaw.

[Tom Morton @errantx]

@oldenoughtosay @whittyrem Similarly there's the infamous Otley Run in Leeds. And for the seriously hard core Otley Run, train to Sheffield, 6 bar crawl, train back, reverse Otley. Bonus for an extra beer on the train. 40 pubs.

No notes.

IRN-BRU have absolutely smashed this out of the park. 🤣🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@oldenoughtosay Long time editor and admin. If you still need someone.

[Tom Morton @errantx]

@KateFlood There is nothing impeding him being PM in that instance, although obviously it would be controversial.

[Tom Morton @errantx]

@Staceywestblog Also of course; it means pubs can show it.

I just don't get the value to fans (I appreciate there is more cash for teams, fair). ifollow worked well, and with EFL teams generally having local fan bases it's just going to cut into crowds

[Tom Morton @errantx]

@Staceywestblog Presumably a good chunk of those 20 will be on top of the 16-odd too. So it's worse; half those games, say, I would no longer get to watch AND it messes up our weekend routine for 8-10 extra games.

We defend the 3pm blackout as important but this makes a mockery of it.

One of the weakest books in the series, but one of my favourite of his jokes - he teases out for so long till it's more sad than funny. Then smacks you with the punchline that ironically it's the "useless" population that survives.

[Christian Keil @pronounced_kyle]

In one of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, there's a scene where a planet is doomed — so they divide society into three groups to evacuate:

#1: the best and brightest
#2: management consultants and marketing execs
#3: builders and doers

The planet sends off Ship 2 first, convincing them they are the best folks to start populating a new world.

But then you slowly realize that Ships 1 and 3 never actually intend to follow behind them... because the original planet has never actually been in danger.

They just wanted the consultants gone. 😂

@oldenoughtosay Our 5 year old carefully considered the various mythos around Easter and confidently rejected Jesus, Bunnies and Chicks in favour of "chocolate day"

[Tom Morton @errantx]

A today years old thing.

(To be honest I am pretty sure we didn't even touch on the book being a political allegory)

[Ally Fogg @AllyFogg]

Just watched a TV play version of An Inspector Calls, as dutiful dad to a GCSE revisionist. To my shame I'd never seen/read it in my life. The conversation after went something like:

[Tom Morton @errantx]

I don't often whinge publicly, but public service announcement: @tescomobile has dire customer service (and their web chat team, who they incessantly push as the "best way to contact us" can do literally nothing on their systems). #fuming

[Tom Morton @errantx]

@Otto_English Coincidence?
