I seem to recall that the ruling was something along the lines of 
"Zzzzz....Huh?  What?"

Then Samantha tucked him back in.

I'm not sure what happened next, though.

I must've.  I have heard that memory's the second thing to go. :)

Samantha always enjoys a quick session on a laptop, so I've heard.

Fair enough I take the hint.

Beau Brummel variation:-

Where the next move must be made in a timely and fashionable manner 
employing cultivated transportation between stops of interest that will 
not bring a blush to the faces of our fine ladies or gentlemen. 
Naturally local knowledge of foreign parts will be respected and only 
incontrovertible evidence is supplied. (Clause xxiii)

It is fashionable to leave Bath for the cities, at this time of year.
So let’s start by taking the waters before we commence.
Bath. That’s Jim’s move now, John.

xxiii In this case the accuser will be deemed not to be a gentleman nor 
one of those of the fairer sex. Thus Huffing themselves until they run 
out side, turn round three times in a widdershins direction, spit on the 
ground and buy a round of drinks.

Somehow I hadn't noticed the subject on this post - 637 is a number 
that's near and dear here....it's an error code in a product I was/am a 
SME in that indicates a serious issue that can be easy to fix, and I was 
involved in some of the original work done on how to fix it. :)

Anyways.....

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/12/google-creates-ai-
program-that-uses-reasoning-to-navigate-the-london-tube

It seems that Google is learning how to play Mornington Crescent.  Now 
that's terrifying.
