I wrote a football joke that doesn’t work written down:

Harry Kane (in a depressed voice) : oh god I’m so worried Mexico are so much better than us and they have home advantage and I don’t think we can beat them.

Me: not with that altitude you won’t

Not too worried about ChatGPT taking over the world when it can be convinced it can’t count and also doesn’t recognise the existence of July #chatgpt #ai

@retro_dodo I backed the kickstarter on this so should be arriving soon. I have a pro max so suspect it will be even worse.

@glastonbury Some of the replies to this are why you should come across to Bluesky :-). Great work and an amazing amount raised

@BishBosh106125 @currys They’ve taken the money from my bank though

[Jon Farthing @Jonf1979]

@currys I placed an order nearly four hours ago for a ‘click and collect’ within an hour and still haven’t received a confirmation email. Here downstairs appear to be a cancellation option anywhere and time when it’s worthwhile to collect is running out. Any suggestions?

[Jon Farthing @Jonf1979]

@currys @BishBosh106125 Im already on a private message chat with your colleague

[Jon Farthing @Jonf1979]

@_harrymcbeth Thought exactly the same thing. Band were great but the audience just stock still and silent, Saw them supporting Yard Act earlier this year and crowd had much more energy. Didn’t help the venue was freezing though.

[Jon Farthing @Jonf1979]

@MartinSLewis I always get confused which is which.

@LiveTheatre Tweet says Friday but the link says Saturday?

[Jon Farthing @Jonf1979]

@Benefitstheband Taxi to and from the venue , few pints and always try and make an effort to buy a piece of merch to support the band if I’ve enjoyed the show. £15 for a ticket can rapidly become a £100 night out.

Thanks to @Benefitstheband for the gig tonight - couldn’t have been the easiest but those who were had a great time and really appreciated it!
