@mthr_jo And so do I, now.

@stepquietly I feel you, Sami. It was 'only' my ankles, not my eyes, and only a bit of them, and even so ... ugh, there are no words.

@vinguard @sharonodea If you're changing Victoria/Picadilly, don't follow the platform signage. Go up to the ticket hall and then down again to the line you want, much quicker.

London no-go zones: a definitive guide Finchley. You've seen it there on the map, just north of Hampstead. But have you ever been there? Do you know anyone who lives there? No you do not.

@mthr_jo One of the most terrifying drivers I have ever known is now an Archdeacon. I don't know whether his driving has improved in the meantime...

@mthr_jo "steelshod, exulting" is rather gorgeous.

@mthr_jo Or are none of these things but learnt to play the recorder at primary school.

@mthr_jo I had to explain to someone why using AI to write an application letter for a job was a really bad idea (he said he was going to ask applicants if they had used it and if not why not). Don't think I got through :(

@mthr_jo I would always have assumed version 1 as well. I'd have used 'functionally' for version 2.

@ClareLissaman @E_N_O Me, for one!

@mthr_jo Get a wig?

@aellairene we're sideyeing it and hiding in a corner

@garius Trumpton vs Predator. "Hugh, Pugh, Barley McGrew, Cuthbert Dibble and... Grubb? Grubb? Has anyone seen Grubb?"

To find your perfect Predator movie, take the name of the first kids show you remember and add "vs Predator": Rainbow vs Predator

@ttbudd There's somebody somewhere that's collating these... I'll try and find the link

Whaddaya know? It's a party political paper for the Conservatives that manages not to mention Conservatives. And attempts to look like a bone fide newspaper. No blue.. Only green on the front page.

@rosamundi Yes please!

@mme_hardy (scone dough, in fact, but it seems pretty close)

@mme_hardy Always have, don't know anybody who says it any differently (a UK thing, maybe?)

@UrsulaV How does it feel about the bit with the ... things in Swordheart? Cannot read that without shuddering, but there's stars and firelight so ....

(I’m sure you’ll all be pleased to know that the emotional low of Paladin’s Strength is when they kiss after the bandit attack, too.)

Been warned a couple times about this prosecraft.io site that seems to be trying to analyze books with AI, and it has some of mine. So I took a look and… Good Lord, what a *profoundly* useless application of technology.

@mthr_jo Same here - and sometimes the ones that do pop up are from ages ago and we have responded whereas unanswered ones don't ping.

@RobGMacfarlane "little-bit-of-bread-and-NO-cheese" where I grew up (Isle of Wight).

@aellairene If you're on a writing kick, stick with it - not worth breaking the flow.
