Microsoft has apologised for creating an artificially intelligent chatbot that quickly turned into a holocaust-denying racist..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-35902104 :lolol:

Obviously, with so many travelling and frustrations on the rail network, there is a risk of outbreaks of besmirching which may grow throughout the day. Feel free to confess your sins my BHA brothers and sisters, before the blessed sponge of toxic amnesia wipes them from your memory come the...

Scotland's victory over France means that England cannot be caught. I don't know about others, but it feels like a bit of a hollow crown. I feel that the England teams that narrowly missed out recently were stronger. The standard seems rather poor at present. Still, onwards and upwards...

I'm guessing it's a parody, isn't it ? Perfect for Eurovision ?

Good signing for Sussex, especially for one-dayers. He could have stayed in the First Division. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/34480975

At an away match in 1995, pre-match, the Bristol City presenter decided to play Smokie's 'Alice'. Well, at least he thought so... He had actually put on the Roy Chubby Brown version... At least a couple of 'Who the F is Alice's' had rang out around the ground before the tanoy went quiet. It...

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/sep/27/frank-tyson-england-fast-bowler-typhoon-cricket Wonderful nostalgia above. Jim Parks Jnr once told me of the first time Sussex faced him at Northampton. Believed to be the fastest bowler they had ever seen, the dressing room was in fear when Keith...

Obviously an academic question as we are nicely settled now, but had the Falmer proposals had issues preventing an application being viable, yet Waterhall had all its obstacles removed, I wonder whether the site would ever have been a similar success or not. Would the transport have been any...

http://brightonlines.com/2015/08/15/a-win-on-the-wireless/ Listening to today's game on the radio brought flooding memories of yesteryear when this was our main avenue of contact with the game. I remembered the old commentators of the game, some of whom have now passed on. I wonder if any NSC...

http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2015/content/story/909201.html I don't go to county matches these days, simply because the competitions feel so temporary. The ECB keep pissing around with formats. Perhaps if there was a stable model (which I believe the present format can become)...

This year brings a new adjustment in my Albion experience as It's unlikely I'll be at many matches, as things stand. So my first entry of my usual sideways view of the Albion season is suitably titled. http://brightonlines.com/2015/08/10/armchair-albion/ I'd love to hear about the rituals of...

This has got me thinking really. Although it took so long.. Was Its arrival a way for TB to shut the fans up about bringing in Championship football and silently admitting it wasn't going to happen ? Sounds to me a bit suss. :moo:

Here are the pots: http://www.footballseeding.com/international-tournaments/world-cup-2018/ So: :thumbsup: England Austria Albania Faroe Islands Lithuania Liechtensten or :ohmy: England Italy Sweden Turkey Finland Georgia

Whilst we await Thursday's fest of bat'n'ball, I was pondering on my favourite Ricky Ponting moments over the years. Here they are.. Ponting Run Out's 2005-Trent Bridge Simon Jones off injured. Gary Pratt is the substitute fielder. Martyn calls a quick single and Ponting is ran out from...

I need a new mobile phone. But, it's a bit overwhelming when looking at the options. So I thought I'd best list here what I'm looking for. I know a lot of people in NSC are pretty savvy about these things. I don't want a contract, I'm happy with my SIM only rolling deal. So I'm looking to buy...

A friend and I were discussing how interesting it would be if certain commentators switched sports to ply their wares, and how it would change the viewers image of the game. We came up with a few that would well and truly change the scene. John Arlott introduces the 'Rumble in the Jungle'...

The General Election- my usual abstract and slightly sideways view of things... http://brightonlines.com/2015/05/06/taking-the-colours-off-the-mast/
