*        Hello, Mum!

†        I can imagine, Olga: services charges only go SO far, don’t they?   And I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the sink!
        Oh, re Eurovision … ?   Ukraine’s folk-rap number seems to be the favourite … 


‡        It does seem to make a certain amount of sense, Debbi: given the original announcement.   We’ll have to see.

    Q1) Ransomware

    Q2) Spencer Tracy

    Q3) Dione Warwick

    Q4) New Zealand

    Q5) Go (I loved the novel, but I don’t think I ever caught the movie, although I like the actors in it. I’ll have to investigate)
    Good luck with the course (and the sink). One of the singers who won Eurovision for Spain many moons back (1968, I think) caused a stir a few days ago, because she said she didn't like the Spanish song and the singer, and she said Ukraine should win, so they would have to reconstruct the city and it would bring them so money. I am not sure Putin would end the war just to facilitate Eurovision, but there's some twisted logic to it.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.

†   Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
