That’s excellent news, we must count our blessings. Becoming an archbishop is worth purchasing a shotgun for, though perhaps not if it requires giving up on being an astronaut.

At some point I should try putting an entire England team photo through the judgment of our artifically intelligent superiors.

Extraordinary stuff, Bailout. I too am an astronaut, apparently.


I put it into https://imagenet-roulette.paglen.com and the suggestion was legionnaire, legionary: a soldier who is a member of a legion (especially the French Foreign Legion)

The previous Steve Smith picture I put in was classified as “Queen mother”.

The first photo of Ben Stokes I tried got “designated hitter” which was quite impressive; other attempts at classifying Stokes varied from the high (“astronaut/cosmonaut”) to the low (“rape suspect”). Varied a lot depending on facial hair and extent of scowl.

We did think of that but then we didn’t do it. We can’t say why. (But only because we can’t remember.)

Relative to the world no 1 bowlers for the last say, 15 years, sure.

Cheers Chuck.

I think what you mean to say, Chuck, is, it was the best of times, it was the ridiculousest of times.
