I’d wake up feeling very full and wondering where the duvet had gone.

Shorter stay help reduce risks from hospital acquired infections like c-dif and MRSA.

Take that! you facial recognition cameras!

So if I’m crossing on a green man at less than 2km/h, an autonomous driving car will still run me over?

The most memorable one-liner in GWTW: “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”

"A monkey has been able to control a computer with his brain, just FYI," Musk said

Extraordinary! I thought I was unique in being able to control a computer, albeit with the help of my hands and eyes.

Successive presidents, Bush, Obama, Trump, have altered NASA’s objectives so much that it’s no wonder progress has been much slower than in the 1960s.

Red, yellow, green, blue, and ... Purple must be the new black

Just as well it’s not a simulator for the 737-Max. Stuff of nightmares.

I hope their cutlery gets washed and reused. A long time ago, I remember Aeroflot had metal knives and forks. The cabin crew checked you didn’t keep any as a souvenir.

My first calculator cost the same as a month’s bedsit rent. I could then calculate my debt to 8 decimal places.

Are neck-ties now the fashion when mowing?

I sent a fax yesterday. When the call completed I was 100 percent sure it had been delivered and not intercepted. With an email, I would have had to wait for confirmation of its delivery, and electronic copies of it would persist indefinitely and insecurely in cyberspace.

How many of the 12 million illegals voted in the last election?

Not enough, apparently.

What really matters is what China, India and Africa do in the next 20 years.

It’s not just the 1.2 million people on the database that should be worried, it’s all their blood relatives also who can be implicated by a partial DNA match.

I’m really not looking forward to there being a Johnson in number 10.

I had been hoping the Duke of Edinburgh would be DT’s chauffeur around London.

If they are as noisy as helicopters, then I hope they don’t start flying in great numbers near me.

I wouldn’t have recognised Abe.

I think hand-drawing will eventually die out... I just hope we can then preserve them.

I think hand-drawn will always be valued more highly than anything largely the product of a computer.

The next UK PM needs to be someone very wise, but not in it for themselves. I vote for Bran Stark.

Embrace both methods by saying the family-name twice, as in, for example “The name’s Bond James Bond”.

Perhaps Donald Trump will suggest something when he visits the UK next month.

The lady in the photo looks well pleased. She must have enjoyed the services of the multi-lingual robot.

Was that a subtle advocation of Scottish independence, or was I reading too much into the story about the Northern Kingdom?

No matter, the bit I enjoyed most was the in-joke about the Song of Ice and Fire book.

If we have drones flying about the place that are autonomous, cars that are autonomous, bots online that are speaking on Twitter or in finance trading stocks, all of those have to be attributed to a person

But autonomous cars cannot be attributed to a person, otherwise they’re not autonomous, surely?

When I was made redundant, my boss didn’t tell me, but some HR low-life. So I quite sympathise with employees using this new service to resign.

Will it have ‘cheering format’ screenings? Can’t wait.

;-)

UK’s HS2 top speed 362 km/h (225 mph). 2 km/h faster than Alfa-X.

According to the plans, and if it ever gets built.
