Another article that adds to my assertion that voice controlled devices are potentially a disaster waiting to happen. I can’t remember the last time I fired up my Echo Dot.

As a bit of fun I've calculated how many miles I've driven in company vehicles since joining my current employer in Jan 2013 and it comes to 83256 miles, which is equivalent to 3.34348 times around the Earth.

So I had an 'interesting' moment at the weekend. I was down in London for a stag/hen do and staying at a Travelodge in Canary Wharf. I get up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night and, just as I'm sleepy-drunk realising that the door I've walked through was the door to the room and not that of the toilet, I hear the sickening clunk of it locking shut behind me. The trek down to reception to get a new room key was made much more interesting by the fact that I was totally naked. Fuck sake.

Yeah, the lesson learned here is to always pack sleepwear of some kind. I've done exactly this before years ago but was wearing pyjamas so it was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. This weekend's events were a whole other level.

Brilliant, Bamba. Exactly the same happened to a friend* of mine, but he realised that before he could go downstairs he really really had to go. Pot plant, thank you. I like to imagine the footage still exists, its owner watching the friend's career for signs of wealth.

I love the Prince Charles theatre. I can't see them doing anything about Bill and Ted on their website, but that looks to be a photo from last year (going by the posters).

What they are doing, however, is showing English dubs of Studio Ghibli films every Saturday. So, you know, in. Craster can come and go to sleep again.

I would be there in a heartbeat for that if I didn’t live over 100 miles away. Or they were showing Tales from Earthside.
