I’m touring my one man version of A Christmas Carol this December; got a bunch of dates in BUT I’ve got an annoying gap: 14th - 17th.
Been waiting to hear from some venues but can’t wait any longer.
I donate 50% of my cut to local charities
Any small (<100 seat)f venues interested?

What happened to deepseek and the ability to run LLMs for cheap? Did it turn out to be smoke and mirrors, a dead end, or did open AI et al ignore a load of lessons on not needing to spend a trillion dollars on data centres?

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”
Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg)

Need to spice up your love life a bit? Have you tried eels?
The 1654 newspaper "Mercurious Fumigosus" noted that eels pies from the town of Ware are "excellent provokatives" in the bedroom. Might be just the thing!
But beware: these same pies were also said to aid fertility!

My favourite tube fact is that it used to be nice and cool in the summer when it was first built, but over the last century the bedrock has absorbed the heat from the trains and it's now warmer than the surface
Every non-Brit who laughs at us for complaining about 30C heat should be invited to experience one (1) tube journey on a hot day
