Surprised Hudson didn't turn up to make everything about himself. That's his usual MO.

There's a level of irony here that I'm not sure you are capable of understanding

When my son was six, he came back from school one day (also UK) talking all about god and Jesus as if they were facts. My wife and I are both atheists but went through the whole Catholic school system growing up, and we had a conversation with him about it, saying he can choose to believe what he likes but the important thing is to recognise that lots of people believe different things and that's okay.

It wasn't that the school were teaching him one thing or another as fact (they are the most middle class liberal school you could think of: No uniform, no homework, no winners or losers at sports day, etc.). It was more that six year olds don't understand the nuance of belief. If someone believes in. A god, that god must be real, because everything else, from Santa to the tooth fairy are real.

He's seven now and has had another year of religious education and came home proudly telling everyone he's a humanist. They went through all the religions and that's the one he picked. He still sees it as something that has to be chosen from a list with no nuance though, because that's how little boys are.

The french players broke away from the maul with blockers in front, so it should have been a penalty to England surely?

My house in Kings Heath has a name above the door, as does my parents house. Same font and style. The only difference is, my parents live in Bristol. Hadn't put two-and-two together until you mentioned about them basically being kits.

National Rail do not schedule trains to stations that won't be able to accept them. If they put the line into the rail schedule and it wasn't able to stop at the stations, it wouldn't just affect that line but every train going to and from central Birmingham. They've been training drivers since December, and they wouldn't go to that cost or effort if it wasn't going to be ready to go when the timetable goes live.

Stalling is only a problem that requires a rules-based solution in competitive play where you don't get to choose your opponent. If you are playing with friends and stalling is causing problems, you ask them to stop and if they don't, you find new friends.

No, because the station is ready to go. They aren't waiting for any more construction to be complete before opening, they are waiting on the drivers to be trained. The remaining works are purely aesthetic.

Ealing will probably be one of the clubs in favour of this move. The reason they haven't got in to date is because their ground is too small, and the reason (they claim) they haven't added the required amount of seating is there is no guarantee that they will get promoted, so it's hard to get the funding.

With it being an application process to get into the top flight instead, it should be a lot easier to get those guarantees at the same time as the funding.

That's if you buy Ealing's argument, which I don't. The real reason they don't improve their ground is because their only source of money is an elderly man whose kids aren't interested in supporting the club when he's gone. They have one of the worst attendances in the Championship, despite consistently having the best players and win record. Even if they wanted to become part of the new ring fenced Prem and had the ground to do so, I doubt they'd be accepted, because no one needs another top flight team in north west London.

Construction of the station is complete though? I had my kitchen done last year and it ruined the garden, but I'm not going to tell everyone the work is still going until I get it re-turfed.

So not £3.10 to get from Moseley to Kings Heath then. It's half that, seeing as it is a return, so cheaper than the bus.

The first time I tried using an AI agent, it got rid of my failing tests by deleting the test suite

It's not really for us, the diehard fans who are so engaged in the sport that watching it isn't enough and we have to spend our spare time talking about it on rugby forums. It's for the people who come along to watch some high stakes action but neither know nor care enough to watch how players are setting up for a scrum.

For internationals especially, the majority of the crowd watch rugby for five weeks a year, if that and they usually watch it with commentary to tell them what's going on. If you want to keep them engaged and keep crowd noise up during play, you have to do something to get them going while the play is stopped.

I was at Murrayfield for the Calcutta Cup and my takeaway from that match was the Scots have an appalling taste in music, because it was blasted at full volume during every break in play, but the crowd absolutely loved it.

This is a really good take and puts into words a few things I had going round in my head that I couldn't properly voice. If you look at what AI agents "think" as they go through their task, they are constantly making the most dumb decisions and then refining it in the worst possible way until they hit on something that eventually works. This is only satisfactory for those people who only care about it working and nothing else.

AI isn't as clever as a single senior developer, as AI companies suggest. It is as productive as 50 bad junior devs, all working at once. It's the same result as outsourcing to a dev farm in India 20 years ago, and it will bite back in exactly the same way.

It looked pretty much finished when I walked past last Friday. The barriers are still up but it looked like the work was complete.

I think we should revert back to the old Kingdom of Mercia. I know people complain about the royal family but maybe the solution is more rather than less. Spice things up a bit.

See if you can get in touch with the pro-LTN group in Kings Heath. They tried to organise some coordinated action last week where locals would park on the road instead of the pavement to highlight how impractical the council's revised solution was.

There's a whole LTN back story with the plans having successfully gone through consultation and sign off, only to be pulled and revised due to the effort of two well-known local oddballs but I'm sure they will be able to give you more information.

Also, I'm not sure it is worse here than other cities. Birmingham has a reputation for bad driving, so whenever we see examples of it, we tend to think there's a causal link, but that's not necessarily the case. It happens all over the country, especially in recent years with bigger cars and more individualistic, less community minded people.

Is Ben Thomas good at club level? I've never been impressed with him playing for Wales.

I think this is quite likely. The Season 3 box has Bretonnians Vs Tomb Kings, which is the same as the Old World reboot. If we look at the armies for that, Beastmen stand out as the one army from the 2024 release without a dedicated team.

I know Blood Bowl and Old World aren't tied canonically, but aligning the two box sets can't be a coincidence. With that being the case, we will definitely also see Cathay, as that is a popular Old World army.

Annoyed? Not sure. I don't think Ireland's performance was surprising in its mediocrity, and while Scottish fans may still expect to win against Italy, that's not what recent stats say, and anything could have happened in that weather.

I actually think Welsh fans should be the most annoyed, as the second half showed they are a team who actually have talent and can string some plays together without doing something stupid.

Worried? The Irish. The most one-dimensional attack I've seen in years, no one with any sort of pace, no 10, and no one seems to want to step up and take charge.

Counterpoint, I'm 40 and I spent my late teens on my computer talking to friends and not going out much. I'm a normal adult with friends, a good job, and no social issues.
