Plenty of paracetamol and caffeine, load up on vitamin C & zinc.
A goon nights rest.

Genuine question:
Why would a mainstream artist release an album in digital format, but not in cd/vinyl for another 3 mos? Esp. in the run up to Christmas?

I'm under pressure from the family to come up with Xmas gift suggestions...

What version of Around the Sun is that? Don't think I've seen it before.

My morning question:
- Did Charlie ever get off the M.T.A.?

I was astonished by how much I identified with this book.

Thank you #HenryWinkler for telling your story.

Yeah, I think it's an opt-in rather than opt out, and where I am the age verification isn't required.
I've found the muted words feature to be very useful on BS though to dumb down some repeated news features and a lot of sports spoilers.

I sat in front of Neil on a flight from Italy-Dublin years ago and had this track from #Regeneration on repeat in my head as airlines lost my luggage a lot. Nothing to do with the subject matter, but felt right at the time.
Bad Ambassador is a gem on this underrated album

I missed this recent interview with Neil Hannon when it came out, really surprised to learn he was the creative behind the music from #Wonka.

New #DivineComedy album out now,& already on my Christmas list.

I’VE long been intrigued by Neil Hannon – not just because he once wrote a song called Something For The Weekend. The son of a Northern Irish bishop, he’s a dog-lovin…

It is Conker season, but I've never seen it done like that before.
Well played!

It's a fair question. There's an idea that you should always leave the countryside as you found it.

Although it's an apple (& it'll return to the earth so to speak) once you've eaten it it becomes rubbish, & it's never ok to throw that out of the car.

Having heard a lot on here about the last season, I'm a newcomer as well.

Really enjoying it, will be looking for previous seasons on iPlayer or something once this wraps.

Finished on quite the cliffhanger tonight, didn't it. Wondering if they'll just flip a coin..?

Earlier this evening Mrs PhonsIOM & I bid adieu to our favourite restaurant #L'Experience 🇫🇷🇮🇲
We wish the current owners the very best in their retirement next week, and look forward to an evening at the new restaurant La Table in the not too distant future.

#MerciBeaucoup

Yeah, he's still on the ballot & I haven't heard much about vote mgmt. Yet.

Would love if Humphreys in a desperate last min plea came out and said
"If you feel you have to protest by voting for #Gavin, at least consider giving me your 2nd preference" 😄

*This* presidential election has captured their attention? For the President of Ireland?

Have to say,finding the latter stages of this campaign underwhelming, neither candidate worthy of the highest office of State.
Will be interested to look at the turnout figures once all votes have been cast.
