Sometimes I feel mildly comforted when Google’s compulsory AI overview is wildly wrong; this is a sung line from The Knight of Burning Pestle that I am trying to find the origin for!
A computer screen featuring a Google search with the AI overview. The searchbar says “Give him flowers enow palmer” and the AI Overview has determined that this line “likely refers to the football player Cole Palmer, and it could be interpreted as a suggestion to send him flowers in celebration of his achievements or to show appreciation for his skills on the pitch.”

Absolutely gorgeous concert in Crediton tonight from Lady Maisery!! What a delight, such beautiful and complex harmonies - and amazing to finally see the group who were my first proper introduction to folk music!

I have finally finished knitting my scarf - just as the stormy weather starts to improve! Typical!

Have just been informed by google that the wikipedia entry for the Chevy Chase ballad is a page I “visit often.” Feeling slightly attacked… is google asking someone to stage an intervention?!
Picture of a laptop screen. The cursor is hovering over the link to the wikipedia page for “The Ballad of Chevy Chase,” above which google has added the note “you visit often.”
