Also, yes, thanks, there's plenty more coming up...

Sorry, could have been clearer! That was yesterday and today.
Quite tired and not thinking straight now.

Somehow edged by JS Bach for me! And I participated in both the symphonies and the quartets 🤷
Mind you, I'm in Bach's top 0.08%, so there's that...

Never been so happy to have failed the scholarship exam!

Nope. 4 of my top 5 albums were Bach, and I got an age of 38! There's no sense to it at all, must be AI.

4 of my 5 top albums are Bach. The other one is Haydn. I've only ever listened to classical music on Spotify.
But my favourite genre is apparently Impressionist, and my listening age is 38.
So I'd suggest that Spotify doesn't know anything.

Still quite a feat of engineering! I really admire the work you are doing.

Am I right in thinking that there are lifts planned for either end?

Alt text is such a useful tool as well as a reading aide for many of us. I don’t get why it’s even optional in setting.

I have a copy and really enjoyed reading it...
I never thought of doing that with it!

I think there's a difference between a band and a vocal group as well. I wouldn't call Little Mix a band.

My children are all older than YouTube.

That hurts.

First rehearsal this afternoon. I'll let you know how it goes...

Reminds me that my chemistry teacher told us that the Bunsen burner was named after its inventor, Peter Desaga.
Got me confused and intrigued enough to look up the story, so I suppose it worked!
