I'm getting reports that a firm is cold calling people "offering grants for renewables and quoting that MARTIN LEWIS had encouraged people to engage with the company."

The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.

A hardcover book called The Long Shoe, written by Bob Mortimer. The title is written in a large white font, with the subtitle โ€˜A mystery with 3 or 4 subjectsโ€™. There is also a minimalist illustration of an office building with four windows illuminated and a surveillance camera pointing at it. There is a sticker on the cover that says โ€˜Signed by authorโ€™.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Genuinely curious what Sainsburyโ€™s are thinking playing David Walliams screaming at you every few minutes over the sound system. My first guess is theyโ€™re trying to drive everyone to internet shopping, my second guess is theyโ€™re trying to drive up alcohol sales

Iโ€™ve also pre-ordered the audiobook because Brendan McDonaldโ€™s narration is note-perfect. Pre-ordering a book twice should tell you how much I recommended series!

Do you ever pre-order a book and then forget when itโ€™s due to be released? Itโ€™s like buying yourself a surprise present! Anyway, canโ€™t wait to get stuck into Ring The Bells, the latest in the brilliant Stranger Times series by C.K. McDonnell #booksky @caimhmc.bsky.social

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time โ€“ almost 200 years earlier than predicted โ€“ following the Mayorโ€™s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

A lady who works in skincare asked how old I was and when I told her she laughed uproariously and said, โ€œOh gosh I wouldnโ€™t have said that at ALLโ€, and I was honestly too scared to carry on that line of conversation so changed the subject ๐Ÿ‘ต
