In fairness to Chaz, he's fucking older than me and wouldn't know AI if it bit him.Mussels wrote: Fri Jun 12, 2026 2:17 pmDid the author come clean about how much he relied on AI to do his work!gremlin wrote: Fri Jun 12, 2026 11:37 am Reading the daily markets briefing this morning it mentioned the 'Group of Severn' economies.

I do hope that, the next time you see him, you'll hold up a Len-style score?gremlin wrote: Fri Jun 12, 2026 11:37 am Reading the daily markets briefing this morning it mentioned the 'Group of Severn' economies. Assuming a typo unless we're talking Cardiff, Newport, Weston-super-Mare, et al....

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
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!
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.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
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

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Had to make a couple of appointments by phone. Normally I put these off for far too long because no one ever understands me 
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!!
