We took the decision at 8am to fold. Driving at 5mph at Christon Bank was like Star wars hyperspace. Crazy conditions today. Well done for perseverance.

Caratacus wasn't a fan either.

Alex Salmond once sold a Xmas card by Jack Vettriano for Β£86,000. What do you think of the painting? Did the buyer get a bargain?

This is a rhetorical question, but it does question the extent of data. Was there a walkable component on Hadrian's Wall? Can AI go beyond Breeze and Bidwell etc?

I guess with information advances we should expect AI reconstructions. So, is AI better, worse, or the same, as artistic interpretations?

Superb edition. Your pods get better every time. I've listened to all of them, and they get better. I think you are an inspired partnership. Keep up the snarky good work.

The mighty fortress of Bamburgh castle last night. A few geminid meteors whizzed past too

Three square metres of folly. Hodgsons folly, the bit in the photo, or the folly of Hadrian (which was a bit larger than three square metres). Anyway great opener for a discussion.

Ah, the inventiveness of the young. We had something similar, we called it Cracking On, or Gittin ya Heid Doon.

And the lack of dialogue. It's as if the dramatised bits were specifically produced to be sold across the globe.
