    Isn't it great that we now have a tool that can collect together all the bollocks ever posted on the internet and distil it down into one bite-size chunk?

    What did we ever do without it?

    That is what I was thinking, but the ability to drag up information posted across the Internet is impressive.

    Good news is that it is a 50/50 split, which seems reasonable.

    Don't know, but I've just had a quick chat with Gemini, and he seems like a thoroughly decent chap.

    I asked him whether at 68 years old, is it worth me chucking £2k on new speakers, or would my money be better spent on a funeral plan? His reply was that based on average life expectancy I should get around 7,000 days of "enhanced atmosphere, music and clarity". Whereas £2k wouldn't even get me a bog basic funeral. Pretty much my thoughts too

    Sounds like a "win" from Gemini.
    What did the wife say?

    Did you ask Gemini the best way to tell the Mrs?

    Like that bird on the telly's dad, he probably hates how expensive funerals have become.

    I am only using Gemini for a bit of fun.
    Ask it about the firebottle kin, and it is clear that the info is dragged up from HiFi forums.

    What was more fun was asking Gemini about Macca, Jimbo, Pygmy Poney and myself.

    I know it got information about me slightly wrong, but it was amusing/interesting nonetheless.

    I'm surprised that didn't break it.
