TOTPs 1981 contains my initial exposure to pop music. The Jam had no significant hits in 81 and I wonder if they hadnโ€™t come back in 82, I may have been slightly more optimistic about lifeโ€ฆ.

Booking a train ticket and the app has asked me to confirm my age in order to personalise my experience . Have entered 19. I expect cheekbones, raves/clubs and a sense of wonder.

Today's news reminded me of the greatest interview ever.
Mani causing utter chaos.

Georgie Fame (& possibly the Blue Flames) were the 4th live band I ever saw after Geno Washington, Zoot Money and, at a separate gig, The Scene. Which is confusing as Iโ€™m guessing Fame, Washington & Money may well have all played, The Scene.

Iโ€™ve never seen The Flamingos.

Without Mani they would have remained a goth racket. Very sad.

Not only have I bled disc brakes this year but I also got a big old sofa out of the house and down the tip in an average sized family car. And that was in just one weekend!

Is all Ai use wrong? Specifly, all LLM use?

If it enables a state secondary teacher, that is doubling as a department head, to rapidly create lesson resources (without Ai slop) why should they not use it?

I used to work at TMS\Tractormotors on Scalford Rd. A cow getting loose on a Tuesday was right up there with New Years Eve on the Embankment!
