Quite right. It is an outrageous thing to do to players.

This is a delight. If Sister Veronica is still with us, I bet she remembers it too.

Good rule of thumb, I think, albeit tricky to check.

I love the idea of some hotel receptionist saying β€œAnd we’re looking forward to welcoming Lord Mandelson next week as wellβ€œ and Hoyle saying β€œwait what”

It’s such a simple, gorgeous idea. I cannot for the *life* of me understand the backlash.

Bought some nice baking trays today and am celebrating by watching the sliding-really-fast-on-the-aforementioned event in the Winter Olympics.

What Brian said! This is so sad. But I reckon you can more than reclaim it if you put your heart on your sleeve. It could become even more meaningful. Good luck.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
