Had a dream where I was watching an episode of "Columbo" set in the future (he had a car just like his old car, but antigrav). The most interesting character moment was when he started arguing with an AI, because he knew it wasn't a real person but…

I go away for a couple of weeks; when I come back, Doctor Who's been cancelled, Strictly's dead, nobody likes football, and everything's on fire. I mean, I'm not saying it wouldn't have happened if I'd been here, BUT.
