do aliens use AI or are they so advanced, that bollox is like a fax machine to them???

There’s probably way more alien species than there are grains of sand on earth so it’s probably a bit of a broad question. 
 

There probably are alien species so advanced that AI is standard fare to them

Football has been as interesting as ever this season but people seem to be moaning all the time.

 

PL competitive for all finishes, Spurs in a relegation scrap, Brentford chasing Europe. 

 

Us and West Brom in a battle to stay up as two of the leagues biggest clubs. Wrexham with a possible 3rd promotion in a row, Cov haven't been up for a quarter of a century.

 

The SPL title fight has been brilliant. St Mirren won the cup.

 

The quality hasn't always been there, but it's been the best for actual entertainment for a while. It's just tough being a Leicester fan.

It's good that there'll be stuff to play for at the end of the season (hopefully), unless you're emotionally attached to these a lot of the games are an absolute chore to watch. In fact, watching Leicester play that way is a chore, even under Enzo haha.

 

Obviously the final deciding fixtures are exciting as everything rides on those games.

 

Good lord though, watching defenders pass it between themselves before launching a ball to the other teams defence when they run out of ideas. Then watching the other team do the exact same thing. Watching the first half of a lot of games this season has been a painful experience. They usually pick up 2nd half when the managers drop the handbrake a couple of mm.

Are there none of these in Leicester anywhere already?

 

Liverpool has had a few for years now, they seem relatively popular but are quite pricey.

Today I learnt the Anglo-Portuguese treaty of 1386 between England and Portugal is technically still binding and the oldest still active treaty in the world. Portugal helped us in WW1 because of it.

Love the way in which Elton John keeps reinventing himself for the audience of the day. What a legend! What tunes! Truly one of our very greatest Brits

I wonder if Neil Diamond gets as annoyed with the addition of “So good! So good!” as I do.

Can't agree with that. Having said that he has written and performed far better songs though this is the most famous.

Of course it wasn't part of the original song. Rather added by crowd participation. Hard to be critical of people paying to see you might as well just embrace it

I guess whatever gets people singing and remembering your songs is always a positive. Unless it's swapping for rude lyrics. 

 

I much prefer Forever In Blue Jeans any way. Much better chorus IMO.

Don't know how to attach but I recommend Holly Holy as recorded in a BBC concert from 1971

Fish lips. Why do women think they look more attractive with mega lips. I have never, and I mean never seen an attractive women who has had her lips cosmetically made bigger. I just don't understand it, makes people look awful and unattractive. Natural look and natural beautiful smile is what does it for me, not mega enhanced lips that look like they're are ready to explode. 

 

Someone help me out. Why do some women do this?!

 

Add to that fake tan as well, not on the same scale but some look awful with that as well. Men and women

Portugal kept trading with England during the Napoleonic wars, defying Napoleon. So I suppose It was due to that treaty.

The things we talk about, and the things we learn, here! 😃
