Patti Smith has been outed as a wrong 'un in autobiographies by Debbie Harry and Chris Frantz and in Andy Warhol's diaries. These stories should be on BBC News this week - purely for balance, of course.

The AI Con A smart, incisive take-down of the bogus claims being made about so-called ‘artificial intelligence’, exposing the real harm these technologies do to our jobs, health, society and environment, who sta...

Response to Gove being on the #RidgeandFrost show on Sky: "Mate. You had your go, and you were no good either. So sling your hook."

Just added The Forecast (Calls For Pain) by Robert Cray to a weather-themed playlist. So, the gloves are off...

Righto. Not Wycombe. Glasses on now and moving on...

Is it because, after years of grifting, freeloading and sucking up to Epstein, that Sarah Ferguson's up to her neck in it too?

Spotted someone in a Cold Chisel T-shirt in a Porto cafe in July. You just know it's an Aussie!

Nicolas Hieronimus is CEO of L'Oréal. One day, I’d like to see him take charge at Bosch.

Prince Andrew gives up royal titles including Duke of York after 'discussion with King' In a statement, the prince says:

Those pesky 'accusations', eh?

Note for Ocado and anyone else sending me marketing emails: use of the non-word 'spooktacular' earns you an automatic deletion.

Usually overlooked in those best authors/books lists. So, clearly, such rankings can be totally disregarded.

Two Of Us (2000) : Michael Lindsay-Hogg : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Hello, I ripped this off of YouTube a few years ago, now it is deleted and as an avid Beatles fan I absolutely love this movie so hopefully it stays up forever...

Anybody seen this film? Bit of an oddity, but strangely intriguing.

These anthologies, too.

Your call is important to us.

I asked Google a question. This is a pic of its answer.

Nice try, AI. However, the text isn't The Hanging Garden by Ian Rankin. It's Uncle Fred Flits By by P.G. Wodehouse.

Which is pretty much as wrong as it could possibly could be.

Marina is the best.

Sorry, monks!

Love how the other three, with the Jesus thing still causing a hangover, are looking so edgy, while Lennon ...

Happy birthday Johnny!

Despite it all, I believe that there's still hope - as long as people continue to say, "No. I think you'll find that this is the footpath."

I recommend this site. You know, if you like reading proper content by people who can actually write. (Benjamin Dreyer tells us off for using 'actually', but in this instance ... well, bollocks to he.)

Saw an old gal in Bridgwater wearing a fleece which, half-zipped up, proclaimed that she was Ada and her beloved OH was called Nev. On the other hand...

She's a menace, right enough.

I loved the original newspaper columns. Mind you, that was in the days when The Independent represented a new hope. Rather than somewhere that sat an unpaid intern on celebs' social media posts.

Oh, don't get my hopes up, Tubs.

Stephen Miller's in the news for ... well, where can we start? Heard about the Nuremberg Rallies? You get my drift.
Anyway, we'd better get his pic up on the Rogues Wall of our AI Photo Gallery, eh?

Nobody comes out of this very well, do they?

Meanwhile, out the back of our gaff, the Scots are having their say.

Street woman faces backlash for putting Christmas tree up early Cassie Needles from Street in Somerset puts up her Christmas tree and decorations in September.

I'm eight miles from Street, and I'm sure that worthier news stories have taken place in my house today. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Take one lane each, all facing in the same direction. When you hear the gun, run like hell - this is the important bit - in a straight line for about 10 seconds.
Happy to help.
