091 :: London lottery dream
Outside London the dream of being a John is at its most potent. Especially in the service towns. Everyone surrounding London wants to be a John. Or a Diana. A Venus. Women are like that . Always trying to be fancy. If a man is called a John then a woman should be called a Jane. Or a Janet. That is the prize of the London Lottery. Something more valuable than money. Every week one person wins the chance of being a John for a year. Or a Diana. Set up in a house in London. A nice house. Band C. Probably. Maybe band D. Sometimes Band Di is better. Set up with an au pair. All the agency fees paid. There are always stories of London Lottery winners making it big. Truth is most winners do not last a year. Most winners are overwhelmed by the sudden hedonism. Unable to adjust they leave London. Go back home with stories they will tell at parties for the rest of their lives. They are called the holiday winners. They do not make the headlines.
Funny how the word headline came back. They tried viral. They tried trending. They went back to headline. A word that implies someone has chosen one line as the most important.
It is true. There are people watching. Orchestrating. Making the headlines. It is the AI that chooses the London Lottery winner by outcome. Evaluates the trends. Counts the references. Picks the next winner by the outcome that is needed. If sales are down a headline winner is chosen. Someone who will make it big in London. Someone who is driven. Committed. Able to provide a service in London in a sector that has weakness and needs invigorating. It is the watchers that keep tabs on the AI.
