Google reduced our headline “I used the ‘cheat on everything’ AI tool and it didn’t help me cheat on anything” to just five words: “‘Cheat on everything’ AI tool.” It almost sounds like we’re endorsing a product we do not recommend at all.

Earlier this week Smith and Sniff was sitting at number 129 in the chart of all podcasts. All podcasts. Every single one. And our shite. Considering Gary Lineker's company alone makes about 128 different podcasts, we're quite proud of that. Thank everyone.

I see this is back on iPlayer. My then boss (now retired) David Hay appears in it, and we all contributed lots of images, footage and information.

It’s a great programme and, I’m told, one of the most popular episodes of the Timeshift strand.
Timeshift - Series 17: 3. Dial 'B' for Britain: The Story of the Landline
From early call boxes to the Post Office Tower, Timeshift tells the story of how Britain's phone network was built over the course of 100 years, and its impact on the public.

Astonishing story of a DAB radio service having its IP transmission stream hijacked by its own streaming vendor to broadcast obscenities instead of the radio output for *30* mins!

Seemingly, because of a contract dispute between the vendor & another mux provider!

Microsoft Outlook just asked me if I was ‘enjoying it’. A bit bold for an email client, I feel.

I supported putting a break in the Circle Line at Edgware Road. But they should've changed its name. With the break it's not a circle. It's wrong and it's still not too late to rename it. If they called it the Marigold Line they wouldn't even need to change the colour on the map.

Very sad to hear of the passing of John Virgo. He never aged for me behind the microphone as the voice of Snooker. An absolute great.

Went to see Radiohead, 28 years on from my first time. It was great. If you can, I do recommend spending your money on experiences that make you feel properly alive. You’re unlikely to regret it.

Factoid: The 147 gave Alfa Romeo its 2nd European Car of the Year title in 3yrs & while it had arguably desirable looks, it joined an ever-lengthening list of cars bested by Ford’s all-conquering Focus in an Autocar group test 25yrs ago this week.

Yes, 25yrs ago - you are that old…
