Oh god, I've just been interviewed by The Guardian about the Scotland match
Hopefully it isn't like the time when I was VoxPopped by BBC Watchdog about the fact Aberdeen wasn't getting 50/50 tickets for the 99/00 cup final
I was very sweary, so all that made it in was "It's brilliant I canne wait"

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Happy Phantasmal Flames release day to all who celebrate. (Pokemon cards)
My middle kid had me down at the village Co-op at for the 7am opening to get a few packs this morning.
Sadly, an adult was ahead of us in the queue and bought the entire stock.
Cheers dude 🙄

Get outside into a dark place if you can tonight - no guarantees, but a possible brilliant display of the northern lights.
We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

Oxfordshire County Council has clarified that the Ghostbusters hearse would not be exempt from the city’s Congestion Charge. A spokesperson told us “It’s not as simple as buying a hearse. In order to qualify for a permit, you must also be a funeral care business.”

Partying like its the mid 2000s I'm putting linux on a old laptop.
Why, no idea. Got a Surface Go 3 that is about as much use at running Windows 11 as an actual window so thought I'd see if linux makes it usable.

My uncle has offered me his Series 2a long wheelbase Land Rover.
Downside it's in New Zealand...
Any ideas how much it costs to ship a car from New Zealand to the UK?
@thealso.bsky.social @ajpbradley.bsky.social any ideas? How much was it to ship a car to/from the States?
