Nor yet was Gabrielle Drake his mother

Which is good news if he was a teenager in the late 70s early 80s otherwise it’d be weird

Here’s an interesting fact

The James Webb telescope has discovered a planet that appears to be covered in odd socks, billions of them

To be honest, Omega, I am not entirely convinced that "Here's an interesting fact" is a good way to start a contribution to this thread, given its title, without opening yourself up to accusations of thread drift.  Just saying...

Correct!

for what it’s worth here’s my theory on the sock planet

we put PAIRS of socks into a washing machine, the spin cycle actually opens up a small vortex just big enough to suck in a single small item which exits the vortex at the other end which is somewhere on the surface of the sock planet.

This explains where our sock goes and why we all have an odd sock in the washing pile.

The upside of this is that should we ever fathom this out we could sort out all the transport issues of the world, save money on HS2 and go a long way to solving the climate crisis.

Very interesting theory. I personally have odd socks in the wash because I always forget to get the stiff ones out from underneath the bed where I've deposited them the previous night after use.

Barring the odd sabbatical, I think I'm closing in on 20 years on TotalRL.com

I've found the limits of AI. I watched a tourist video of two people from Scotland going to a koala park in Qld. I switched on the closed captions and it just couldn't do it. Most of the dialogue was blank and I think most of the stuff it picked up was wrong.

I have lived in the same house here in Adelaide for 16 years and never used the bath!

The house we live in is twice as big as the one we had back in Cas - cue for witty comments from posters- but the bath is only two thirds the size than back in blighty.  So the bath has only been used by the dogs we have had.  Every house I have visited over here either just has a shower or a bath of similar proportion to ours.

P.S. We do have showers in the house in case you thought I was a typical Cas lad

I’m a morning countdown fan as well. Rachel and Susie at 6.05

I got aroused the other day.

Seven letters, quite good I thought.

I've given you a laughing emoji, Shadow, but I really think you should go on the naughty step for that one.

I'm not proud of it.
