Yes: I’m officially as tired as a tired bloke, tiredly yawning on Twitter: and here’s hoping THAT gets retweeted about a bit … !

I wouldn’t mind knowing how many people yawn as a result … !
Which reminds me … apparently, we don’t do contagious yawning if we have a form of schizophrenia. Or autism.
But DO, if we are a human who doesn’t have those conditions …
Or we’re a chimp …
Amazing what getting distracted at this time of the morning can do for you …

* Hmmm … Wish someone had uploaded that to YouTube: the only version I could findperformed in Barcelona was by the chap in the video … sort of a Cajun Samba’d version. (Up it’s sleeve? Well, yeah, buying the football came out of nowhere …)
† You know, I don’t even know if that would get a mention, over here, Debbi. Despite the fact we’ve a lot less TV providers than the US, we’ve still got plenty. (There’s two other providers showing the Premier League games …). That’s before you look at illegal streaming! (A few pubs got done for that.). I can’t help but think this is a good thing … as long as Amazon keeps the prices down …
Q1) Batman
ReplyDeleteQ2) Radio
Q3) Athens
Q4) Jordan
Q5) 1948
I didn't notice if anybody was actually recording it (the performers weren't for sure, but they were quite busy). I'll keep it in mind in case I come across them again. I am sure they have plenty of things planned. Mind you, the only way to make sure these kinds of deals work must be to play with the cards very close to one's chest). I hope the day is not too tiring. Take care!
Sure low prices are nice. Just ask Wal-Mart! :)
ReplyDeleteMy concern is more about consolidation. There's this little thing called monopoly and anti-trust law that's supposed to keep too much market power from being held by one company. Or person! Ahem! :)
