2025/06/10

Send us a text I awake to the rumbling of a large vehicle pulling up outside my front drive. My bedside alarm says 5.30am. Had my cover been blown? I had been expecting something every day for months since my messages to one address remain unanswered. My pretence of ignoring visible security measures in a neighbourhood of otherwise securely-barricaded houses had always been no more than a hopeful option. I retreat into the bathroom and out of my bed clothes. I dress in the...

The romance between the most powerful political leader in the world and the richest man in the world crashed and burned in the space of a few days. Closest friends have always whispered that it was always a matter of time before, in the words of the song, they would have to call the whole thing off. Why? The gossip sheets of Washington DC are putting it down to a clash of two of the strongest egos the world has ever known. St...

Send us a text At one level, tennis has a squeaky clean reputation with images of strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, smartly dressed officials and players following the written and unwritten rules of the game. However, there is a dark side to tennis. Every so often a bad boy or a bad girl erupts on the court and into the media. Perhaps the most celebrated was John you can’t be serious McEnroe. But it’s also worth remembering Gregor Dimitrov, who was disqualified from the final of a m...

It seems that the robot had been programmed in turn-taking. Its human opponent moves a piece from one chess board square to another. The robot differentiates legal and illegal chess moves. If the move is legal, the robot activates its move-making sequences, plucking up an opponent’s piece if its move inv...
