| It's all videos for me now. Among other things I got sick of waiting for them to air the stuff that I wanted to see. And they charge for live television in the UK. Do you at least have ad free viewing for the paid live tv? I'd be pretty mad if I paid to watch tv and still had to deal with ads. I do... |

| I can see the attraction of a technique for keeping the mind from going off at tangents. In my experience, my mind usually focusses itself well enough when it's an urgent matter, so when there's no urgency I usually let it do what it wants. If I slow it down I just get bored and impatient. Trying to... |

| I disapprove of the way they've started using the term to describe things that are nothing to do with concealment. It was a confusing thing to do and the eggheads should have known better. I don't mind what they call the things that aren't literally masking, as long as it's a name that fits what it ... |

| I've always wanted to see what used to happen in the Corn Exchange. I suppose they were all swapping sheep for barley and that kind of thing. The one in Leicester is a theme pub now. |

| I never sat through a whole JCNR even when I had live television. But I saw enough of it to know it sucked. I like The Day Today though because that takes the mickey out of news programmes. |

| I see. I suppose the other good thing about a stock market crash is that we might get to see a few bankers chucking themselves out of skyscraper windows. |

| 'Eclectic' musical tastes, or rather people who claim to have these. That word doesn't go down well in anti-intellectual Arkansas so I just tell them I like a wide range of styles. Is John Craven's Newsround still going? He must be about 90 years old by now. The hippie band I was in was talking abo... |

| I don't trust people any better when it comes to answering questions and telling me things. I think somebody should test a human and DeepAI against each other and see which gives the best answers. It'd be like Mastermind. |

| You've researched it very well. They should use you as an online AI chatbot. No offense, I like AI chatbots. Well, the good ones anyway. |
