Okay, the fine was only £50 in the end, so it could be worse...
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

The Trainline's new "Tap that App" advert, popping up on YouTube almost every single time, which is a mass of mutated CGI fingers dancing to an awful beat and wriggling about like some kind of body-horror nightmare...I have watched it several times and I can't figure out what it's got to do with trains at all.

I thought it was AI generated, but there's an article about the making of it here:

This doesn't make me like it any more. Adverts like this make me think we've reached the twilight years of human creativity.
