I have no idea what this Microsoft Excel error message means, but I’m pretty sure it’s aimed at cats.

It takes pride of place in my office, and it still makes me laugh every time I look at it!

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Where nobody knows your name... Tracing the anonymous faces at the start of Cheers.

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun.

"Al Free" needs to become almost like a brand, a logo, a recognisable high watermark seal of quality. Companies should be clambering over one another to attain this prestigious accreditation. Companies that have gone all-in on Al will have to bear the cost of having it removed, like asbestos.

Tried to quote tweet this but couldn’t - so sharing in screenshot. Faber has introduced a ‘Human Written’ maker’s mark for Sarah Hall’s new book, with Hall’s US publisher following suit. I think others are planning to do it too.

It’s that or the time Don Henley asked him to sign his copy of Pet Sounds. Brian wrote “To Don, thanks for all the great music”, paused, then struck out the word ‘great’.

My favourite Brian Wilson story was when Bono kneeled at his feet backstage & waxed lyrical about his influence, the power of music, transcendent, etc.
After several minutes of this he interrupted Bono by saying “Say, could you go get me a Coke?”
(In fairness, he apparently did)

Aged 7, pretending to be a policeman by writing down car number plates in my little notebook. Spotted that a neighbour’s car was a brand new A-reg (yes, this was a long time ago), ran towards his driveway, tripped on kerb, broke leg, found myself in hospital for a week.
