Did the author come clean about how much he relied on AI to do his work!

In fairness to Chaz, he's fucking older than me and wouldn't know AI if it bit him. :lol:

I do hope that, the next time you see him, you'll hold up a Len-style score?

My wife and daughter went wedding dress shopping yesterday. Last night, my wife showed me a short video of our daughter in her chosen dress. I'm not a particularly emotional person, but by fook I lost the battle of the tears when she showed me! :oops: :D I think for the first time I saw my baby girl as a grown-up and even if I say so myself, very beautiful young lady. :wub:

Went for a run last night and decided to pop in a pub for a glass of water and pint of zero alcohol beer on my way home.

Bumped into a couple I know, who I probably haven’t seen for around 10 years. We used to go for a beer or two quite regularly when our kids were at school together but drifted apart after that.

I said hello to blank expressions, reminded them who I was and their response was ‘Fuck me, you look fantastic! How much weight have you lost? Have you been going to the gym etc?’

Followed up by ‘You look better than you did the last time we saw you’ which was lovely to hear and made me realised that all the hard work, i.e. weight loss, gym work, running etc was paying off. My head barely fitted through the door after that :D

Had to make a couple of appointments by phone. Normally I put these off for far too long because no one ever understands me :lol:

Today I spoke to two departments in the same hospital (xray and ortho for the shoulder) and managed, with very little hassle/repetition, to make two appointments on the same day for shoulder xray and chat with shoulder surgeon

Currently very proud of myself!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :obscene-drinkingcheers: :obscene-drinkingcheers: :obscene-drinkingcheers:
