I think you need to adjust your speech-to-text, it's misrecognising a lot of words there.

I hope this says it in a better way ;-) ?

That a 94 year old lady who lives in my sister's neighbourhood has taken a 400/200Mb/s fibre contract in order, according to her personal belief, not to stand in the way of fibre rollout in the rural area and to increase the value of her house.

Marinated roast cicada doesn't really do it for me, but if it brings a smile to your face...

Seeing this at Seatoun beach today.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

Watching BBC News live just now and saw a story on the Tonga volcano.

They said “The NZ Government has just confirmed that two Royal Navy ships will depart Auckland shortly to go to Tonga”.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

This is very scary but also made me smile a bit, it's the first time I've seen "code brown" used in serious media:

Code brown called for Victorian hospitals under pressure from COVID-19.

Note how the "What is a code brown?" section carefully avoids explaining why it's called that.
