25th September, 2019.

It sounds like the Switch isn’t an option.

But that the Playstation 4 is!

Oy … yeh!

“I think that if I were required to spend the rest of my life on a desert island, and to listen to or play the music of any one composer during all that time, that composer would almost certainly be Bach.”

Glenn Gould, 25 September 1932 – 4 October 1982.

And music …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Good luck with that, Anne: hopefully, it’ll go smoothly!   (If you can message me the link on Twitter, as and when?   That’s the best way of doing it.)

†        You’re not the first person to suggest that, Olga: a gift voucher’s a good idea.   I keep thinking a subscription to the various online services would be, too: although — obviously — there’s elements of child safety to consider, there!   It’s a whole other area, that.   (I do know Bowling for Columbine’s the second Michael Moore film.   I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled.   And getting the toast done …)

‡        It could be worse, Debbi, the Speaker of the House could be taking part in impeaching the President: after he tried coercing a foreign leader.   Oh, wait …
