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.

641 is a very different error code. In fact, off the top of my head, I
don't recall what it is....<checks reference book I wrote that contains
the definitive list from the time> Ah, yes, INVALID_REQUEST. That
figures. ;)
