I think you have just found what can now be done with AI. Increase your BS detector level a bit higher, and like me, resolve to spend less time on Youtube. :smile: PS -Shocking goings on at Number 10 earlier. . . . :smile: I haven't heard what was said. PPS - I have now and it merits a warning. Good...

I thought it might do as a candidate for the Corner.... THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER By Banjo Paterson.... It'll more than do ! Splendid. :smile: Here's another of Banuo Paterson's . He wrote Waltzing Matilda too. No need to print the lyrics - this chap has superb diction and every word is comprehensib...

Names mentioned in that post makes me look at two links - Now I know why Eddington Cambridge is so named / There are plenty of Dysons and they're not all just digital vacuum cleaners. Here's another Jack Dyson sportsman Local link - Born in Oldham, Jack Dyson joined Manchester City in October 1951 f...

You'll have to explain that response to me David. I know the rhyme but can't make the connection.... It's a repetitive, cumulative, type of childrens' song in which each 'treatment' makes things worse. Iatrogenesis demonstrated if you will. :smile: There once was a lady who swallowed a cow; I don't...

Right lads - today we want you to measure the level of the sea.

They all say it's rising, and soon we will all be in danger. Accurate to the nearest millimetre will be sufficlent. Do your best - see you back at tea time.

I watched more than is healthy of President Donald J Trump this afternoon. Sky couldn't take their eyes off him either, and suspended all else for quite a long time. I doubt any other politician could match the performance, and his interval between 'comfort breaks' at his age was truly impressive. T...

Some good stuff there ! I like a good tale. . . . :smile: I note the word 'Galliard' and now know it was a type of dance. I thought of Robin Hall (died 1998) and Jimmie McGregor (still going at 95) and the Galliards from long ago. Remember the Tonight programme - with Cliff Michelmore? PS About 7 mi...

Strange name for a British storm
There are many to whom the name will immediately bring to mind Saint Maria Goretti. I wonder how it was chosen.

There once was a lady who swallowed a fly . . .

I came across this tonight. It has a lot more impact in your eighties than in your teens when you are more likely to have had it presented to you. It's a long winded version of my favourite racing quote "All men are equal on - and below the turf". Very atmospheric, and lots of interesting ...

A Venezuelan said today :-

"To those who say that the United States is only interested in our oil, I ask those people: What do you think the Russians and the Chinese wanted?…
The recipe for Arepas?"

I was initially staggered when I heard about what has happened in Venezuela. However after some thought - I was also very surprised that Venezuela hasd more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia, yet the economy was in ruins, and many had fled the country as economic refugees. I watched some videos from &q...

Cathy - I found it by the same way as Stanley - by chance. A moment's idle hovering. :smile: It only works for me when I'm on the main computer - with a mouse and an arrow - nothing happens when I use my smart phone. That's the reason I don't look at emails on the phone. No way of knowing by hoverin...

They get worse . . . .

Q. Why did the French chef commit suicide?

A.

I noticed the Moon was very big and round in the failing daylight on the way back from Aldi.

Then I'm told from Google News that it's a "Wolf Moon". I can't think why.

Well - it's an ill wind. . . . Another day at the top of the opening 'active topics' page has increased the views of my Bugis Street watch up to 180. :smile: The current view record holder for my posts is the picture by Manet - "Portrait of An Artist as A Flâneur". Stands at 252 at the mom...

Let me be the first to wish a Happy New Year to all our contibuting members. :drummer: As usual I watched Jools Holland's Hootenany. Still quite good but the token pipes and drums of the Scots Guards made little impact. The Sctottish angle is fading. Why can't they have such live music on during the...

Rarely seen thread - and my interest in the game is nearly over, but I must first mention a young jockey called Billy Lougnane. He has just won the first race of the new flat season "The Brocklesby" for unraced 2yo's. I was impressed by him last season. He is still a 5lb claiming apprenti...

This is TV cook, Fanny Craddock from 1975. How to make a simple Christmas omelette with mincemeat.
Filmed in real time.

New year's Honours list. Last of the Summer Wine and Open All Hours writer Roy Clarke is knighted. And not before time! He will be ninety six next month. It's a scandal he has had to wait so long. I hope he can still enjoy the occasion. They've been doing some catching up here - Torville and Dean ha...

It's a 'half baked', under researched proposal - as are most from these comedians. I can only see it working if the vehicle has a built in, real time, always active, tracking system. You have pointed out the drawbacks of the others. It's so obvious that only a Labour member of this Government would ...

Brigitte Bardot has died aged 91.

Some will perhaps mourn her more than others Brigitte Bardot


RIP.

If, as has been suggested, we finally get around to once again having personal identity cards, they could be used to trace the `owners' of litter and fine them. Meanwhile I read that Only seven of the 32,788 burglaries reported to police in London last year resulted in the charge of a suspect. I wo...

I've got to the bottom of the watch puzzle. I didn't think it was an original, but it certainly looked like it - and the packaging is very convincing. :smile: I've now discovered Super clone watches Seems mine is a AAA grade which is the second highest. It cost more than I would want anyone to spend...

Season's greetings and best wishes to all members from Tripps. I had a nice phone call and a chorus of "We wish you a merry Christmas" from my Filipina friends which was nice. There was a complaint though - that a pig's head which butchers could not sell when they first came here fifteen y...
