It is being suggested that I might like to apply for the post of Home Office Intelligence Officer!

Dr Noah does appear in Casino Royale.

Perhaps they are confused - or you have a past...

Facebook thinks I should eat at a café in Indiana.

I think I'll just stroll the kilometre to the pub in town here.

I recently mentioned finding a jacket on eBay and how the re-using of the name over four decades had made the search more difficult.

I did not mention the name of the manufacturer and the jacket style.

But, Facebook has just suggested that I might be interested in the very jacket that is currently marketed under that name.

Facebook thinks I might want to go to Swindon for an evening with Nigel Farage, and it's only thirty quid - or fifty, if I think I'm a VIP.

And people are worried about what 'they' know about us...


Although, the comments below the post do suggest that they have 'targeted' largely the wrong demographic.

Swindon and Nigel Farage, that's a double whammy.

Swindon residents like 'nothing' about town centre​

The only good thing about Swindon is the Magic Roundabout...

It depends which Swindon.

The pub that provides a community feeling and a place of peace for its busy owner​

Patrick and Donna Harley take pride of place in their pub
It's become a place of peace for the leader of Dudley Council, a place to get away from the stresses of day-to-day council life.
The Green Man in Swindon forms a place of normality for Councillor Patrick Harley away from the attendant stresses and responsibilities of leading the borough council.

I am being told to "Elevate your game with affordable women's golf fashion".

This seems very unlikely to be a solution to a problem that I didn't even know I had.

I am receiving a string of emails along the line of "We have a Top AI Tools for Business workshop that could be a useful support for your role at Erewhon, Llareggub, Llamedos & Co. Our Maximizing Business Efficiency with AI Tools workshop has been top rated by our course attendees"
The oddball email address they are coming to and the fact that I work for that fine old firm founded by Samuel Butler, Dylan Thomas & Terry Pratchett indicates that information has been scraped from my Linkedin account. Pity their AI can't pick out dubious information.
