Could a robot barista soon be working at your local coffee shop? The 'cobot' is capable of crafting cappuccinos, flat whites and lattes.

Just what exactly are we going to do once nobody actually has a job? news.stv.tv/west-central...

All these crappy IPAs can get in the bin. Beer for people who don't actually like beer. McEwan's Export did us perfectly fine for years

I didn't really do anything except run like hell to raise the alarm then try not to panic. He was properly gone though. They had to bring him back twice. Muy scary

Actually, I saw the Tudor team ride into Movistar's hotel this morning, which I thought was a bit odd

โ€˜Workforce crisisโ€™: key takeaways for graduates battling AI in the jobs market Recruitment is powered increasingly by artificial intelligence but employers still want big (human) brains

I remember this and it was actually worse than that. Bruce was saying that he knew things would be more difficult but his band were so big that he didn't care, they'd be able to pay people to look after that

That'd be more records for the bin. If they weren't there already

But on the plus side, they're going to bring back kolkhozes and turn everyone into collective farmers, so everyone'll have a job

Quite important to Scotland though. Also, fishing is devolved and yet the Scottish government wasn't even consulted

Kind of agree with them on the anthem. I'd go further. Every country where Charles Windsor is head of state, including Australia, NZ, Canada, etc. should have god save big ears as their national anthem. We'd have independent republics worldwide within a year ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

That was a particularly rough one and the only time we had it really bad. It was during the day, at night you get a cabin and you don't notice anything. I wouldn't say that particular crossing was rough, but Celine Dion was doing the onboard entertainment.

That was the problem we had going up to Scotland, it was almost a 2-day journey. Depending on where you're going you could fly into Rennes or Nantes and hire a car. Last time I got the Plymouth boat it was like this

There are a few options, none of which are particularly convenient, sadly. We always did Roscoff - Plymouth, but Brittany Ferries is hideously expensive during the summer. DFDS Newhaven - Dieppe is much cheaper, but then you need to drive through Normandy, and who wants to do that? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
