Deploys the apposite line:
Don't threaten me with a good time.

Hiya app is your friend.

Inspired!
Almost as good as a suit with Corn Flakes camo.

How can they have forgotten the whole Horizon fiasco so quickly?
Politicians are so easily dazzled by technology.
The other danger sign is how quickly the use cases change in response to public pressure. That's how disaster projects begin.

I say, that's a bit strong. Wouldn't an "I hear what you're saying" have sufficed?

It's the new Frankenstein for the 21st century. The things we create turn on us to destroy us. It has always been thus.

I just remembered Jerome Bixby's The Holes Around Mars, a short story from the pages of Galaxy magazine. There's a Larry Niven short, too, which involves switching off a machine that holds a microscopic black hole in stasis. I can't remember the title. And it may not be Larry Niven.

Brilliant that we're starting to have discussions about the demographics of the UK population, about the declining birth rate, about the increased tax burden on the people of working age, about the way the government responds by raising the age of retirement. That has a ceiling, and it's very close.

That's remarkably like Spike Milligan's "I told you I was ill" inscribed (in Irish Gaelic) on his headstone.
