They're the live prices. I went one better on my next run and made £2 and added a remaining minutes countdown to each match. :)

20 partygate fines could be issued as early as tomorrow. But it all means nothing unless the man himself gets a fine!

Who would you prefer in his place in the current environment.
I think Truss would provoke a nuclear war, she scares the crap out of me. Or Patel, sheesh!!
In Raab we trust? Or perhaps the phoenix rising Gove.
Not a great chioce is there?

Couldn't care any less. I just want that pathological liar and hypocrite out of office. Politically, one Tory's as bad as another. :)

No poiltics, religion or law and order. Otherwise it all goes Pete Tong. :-)

With two toasters in my bin, I've bought a new toaster with a coordinating kettle, or a new kettle with a coordinating toaster. Either way, breakfast will never be the same again. :D

I think you should patent this concept "toaster with a coordinating kettle". So switch kettle on without bread in toaster and it says "Oi, knobhead, put the bread in". Or you put the toaster on and it says "But you haven't brewed your tea, you halfwit". It's coming sooner or later. Our home appliances are already talking to us (well not me, but others with alexa etc. You get my drift).

It's just as well I don't have that gadget because I didn't like calling my last girlfriend a boy's name like Alex, Alexandra was too long so I called her Alexa. :)

:lol: I'm sure you could change the name and voice to those of your choice. Now there's a conundrum, who would you choose. I feel a poll coming on :-).
I'd go for Ade Edmondsen and Rik Mayall. Although not sure who is the toaster or kettle.

Surely if you got a girlfriend called Alexa you don't need the Echo Dot. You just tell Alexa to change the channel or get you a beer. :)

Joking aside. The concept of interacting with software written by someone like me (albeit a lot, lot more clever) is pretty appalling.
Think I'll stick with my chipless, wifil-less basic toaster and kettle. I like to swear at my toaster because it's totally erratic as to when it pops up. Sneaky little git has to be watched like a hawk. It's not even that old. Just crap!

Last night I found a tortoise in my garden, today I found a £10 note, more or less where the tortoise was! :D
flipping hell! I was just tending to my daffodils and I found another £10 note in the garden. Admittedly it's a windy day but I found it in the same place - the hedgehog must have come back!
