Unfortunately I found out a few weeks ago that long time and valued member Mark Bicknell aka @Mark Bicknell had suffered a stroke and was in hospital recovering. The other day I got some news from his partner Karen, letting me know that he is now at home, he still has issues but Karen says that he's in good spirits, still got his sense of humour and driving her crackers! I thought it be a good idea to pass on this, the latest news to all members and also take the opportunity to start this topic up, for myself and anyone else to pass on to Mark, our best wishes on his recovery.

I think I leave this for a bit, it only raises it's head when we get someone posting on a old topic, which isn't really that much at the moment so will come back to this if needed thanks for the view thumbs up mike

Is this a yearly thing on here now? , think so , definitely needed on this Monday! A witty pun about a sailing trip has been named the funniest joke at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Comedian Mark Simmons was voted the winner with his gag: "I was going to sail around the globe in the world’s smallest ship but I bottled it.” The U&Dave's Funniest Joke of the Fringe is chosen by members of the public from a shortlist drawn up by judges. The nautical one-liner was ranked among the best by 40% of those surveyed. ----------------------------- 1. I was going to sail around the globe in the world’s smallest ship but I bottled it. - Mark Simmons 2. I've been taking salsa lessons for months, but I just don't feel like I'm progressing. It's just one step forward... two steps back. - Alec Snook 3. Ate horse at a restaurant once - wasn’t great. Starter was all right but the mane was dreadful. - Alex Kitson rest (top 15) can be read via https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8erpgy727jo

firstly this is the freebasing forum, which was set up to offer the discussion of non or loosely connected soul topics secondly the thinking behind the passing on of this information (sent in to site), was given the persons words and the current advances of artificial intelligence technology then it may be 'of interest' to some to see the current state of things AI wise as per the earlier AI topic

a suitable end note A mammoth 27 per cent of Britons think that they could qualify for a sport at the next Olympics if they started training today, according to new research by YouGov. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/olympic-sports-brits-yougov-poll-los-angeles-2028-b2595545.html wonder if there is a 'pulling teeth' cat for the next one?

had the below sent in to site, so passing it on..... Hi folks, I wanted to let you know about a new project - a set of brand new never-heard-before soul songs with a vintage Motown / Northern Soul feel, generated using AI tools. "AI Got Soul" is an experiment to explore whether Artificial Intelligence, a machine without feelings or a heartbeat, could create something as deeply emotional and joyfully vibrant as soul music. I'll leave it up to you to decide if it was successful, but the results are certainly interesting! There's more explanation on the website: https://aigotsoul.com/ We've also posted tracks on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AIGotSoul-Channel Hope you enjoy! Paul

all things back to normal now eh so what was the verdict on 2024 Paris? myself thought bit of a downer that the bbc didn't have the rights to broadcast as much as per past games so was harder to discover the more 'obscure' sports but overall though was an enjoyable games 2028 is the next one, man alive
