Should be meeting Dad off his plane.
İnstead, his neighbour insisted he save a few quid and get a bus not a taxi to the airport. So he missed his flight.
Dad distraught. I'm fuming.
God save us from a certain kind of helpful neighbour.

This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."
Trump: "It's actually a legal definition -- 'whole milk.' And it's whole with a W for those of you that have a problem."

Received a charming text from the Local President of Trade:
"I congratulate you on your miraculous candle and hope that it will be beneficial to our country and the entire Islamic world."
Well. I've never heard it called THAT before ☺️. But I'll try my best.

having a laptop with a steel case is classy and all, but here it means putting it on the radiator for half an hour in winter before you dare touch it.

An absolutely key first principle when using AI is that you, the human, are responsible for its outputs, and that you must *check* everything it churns out. Blaming Copilot doesn't wash.
WM Police chief Craig Guildford has apologised for identifying a fictitious West Ham v Maccabi Tel Aviv match in a police report. He’s written to the home affairs committee and blames Microsoft CoPilot for the error

Minister of State Alex Norris tells the BBC he won't personally come off X because it's important for communicating with voters.
None of his tweets for the last month has more than 1000 views.
