Left to my own devices I probably wouldn't.

Someone has cut the lawns of mine and my neighbours' houses to read "Truly" in one, "Madly" in the next, and "Deeply" in the one after that. I think it might be the work of a savage gardener.

Such a shame... I've found a few chicks on the floor beneath the housemartin nest recently. Probably runts of the brood thrown out by the others. Nature can be so cruel. On the positive side, however, I never realised how delicious they are.

Top Tip: Tell any women you happen upon to "stand very still while the AI works its magic", to make everyone think you have a pair of those expensive smart glasses on. Top Tip Supplement: Remember to put some glasses on before you go out.

I've just installed Poogle Shoelace on my phone. The AI engine monitors the 3D accelerometers embedded in the device to detect when you trip up. Poogle Shoelace will then tell you your shoelaces were undone. Notifications must be enabled, and it will need your National Insurance number.

Someone's been putting it around that I've been cutting the bottoms out of all the cardboard boxes in the supermarket. I want to make it clear that these are baseless allegations.

Today's piece of irony... I had an issue with a jigsaw - one that cuts wood - so I decided to dismantle it and sort it out. Now I don't know how all the pieces go back together. ...I'm going to start with the corners.
