Photograh of football players from talksport.com The text reads: "Fans & stars slam World Cup halftime show. The first-ever musical break during the final faced backlash for lasting over 27 minutes. Critics like Wayne Rooney called the star-studded spectaclé flat, while others argued the long delay disrupted the match. Generated with Al, which can make mistakes." I have highlight the bit about AI making mistakes and have circled the word 'flat'.
A very tattered peach handout that says "This year we celebrate the birthday of Her Majesty with displays on the theme 80 glorious years" It then lists major events that inspired the nearly 40 floral displays, like the first landing on the moon, Charles and Diana's wedding, the first heart transplant, Torvill and Dean, the Millennium Dome, and so on.

The text on the first photo reads, 'You shook my husband's hand for your photo op'. The second photo is of my husband's coffin, and the text reads, 'This was my photo op after your "ring of protection" around care homes. '

A Radio Times article with a 0hoto of me and Kyle MacLachlan. The text reads: FRIDAY Choices Kyle MacLachlan and Lorelei King play letter-writing lovers who've been penning their passions since childhood Love Letters Apparently the advent of email has put paid to the art of writing love letters. Kyle MacLachlan, co-star of this afternoon's drama and making his radio-acting debut, confesses that in reality he is "more of a Post-It note love-letter guy" than the character he portrays. Andrew Makepeace Ladd lI is a dutiful lawyer who has been writing to unstable artist Melissa Gardner (played here by Lorelei King) since they were adolescents. She has come from a disturbing family background; he is oblivious to the damage that's been done to her - for a while, anyway. As much of their ill-fated romance comes through what they don't say in their letters as what they do. MacLachlan describes their unspoken relationship thus: "There's a real poignancy to that and some wonderful humour that we've fleshed out." It sounds as though he enjoyed himself - wouldn't it be great if Radio4 could lure him away from all those saucy bathroom romps in Sex and the City? Maybe not...
