It's genuinely astonishing how dreadful Amazon.co.uk's recommendations have become lately. Until recently it was basically my basket plus my wish list. Now its random crap I've never even browsed near. It's so bad I wonder if it's revenge because I cancelled a couple of orders.

I note the usual tory process has begun: told they can't do a thing because it's against the law or rules, their first thought is not how to work within the rules but how to change them so they can do what they want after all.

My son is introducing friends in Japan to Doctor Who starting with Ecclestone. His first comment to me: "My god the audio mixing is bad. [...] Like without subtitles we can't hear any audio bad. Was it always that atrocious?" Gonna have to get the DVDs out.

Today's @amazonuk recommendations for me include 4 different sets of batteries, 3 different sets of toilet paper, 2 punnets of soft drink cans, 5 cleaning products and 2 air fryers from 36 items. I've been through my last five years(!) purchases. Just fucking dreadful.

Just a passing thought that happened by me, apologies if the answer is well-known already... The Nightingale hospitals -- where did all the equipment in them come from and where did it go? I'm assuming some donors got much richer at both ends?

I was at the Caledonian Hotel today. Its a former railway hotel and I just saw that the entrance frieze features a man presenting a woman with a steam train.

Amazon sending me recommendations for things I not only own but have actually reviewed (complete with vine voice and verified purchase labels) seems a little, er, pointless...

Any comedy search experts able to find an old Play Away (?) sketch in Caesar's tent, many many puns on Hail Caesar: - Is that rain? - No, it's hail, caesar [all] Hail Caesar! - There is a messenger without - Big strong chap? - No, bit of a frail geezer [all] Frail Geezer! etc..
