Since this place seems to be hopping, a nudge to my etsy page where you can get signed copies of my book "Tuesdays are Just as Bad"! www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Oh yeah, they look very cool, I just don't imagine buying one!

Oh yeah, I miss slamming down phones!

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 29m

Oh yes! This is a good point.

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 30m

Ah! I'm thinking the ones that fold out rather than fold in but fair

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 36m

Foldable phones are one of thos things that I marvel at the engineering magic that go into their creation but also have no idea why someone would particularly want one.

Aha! Oh look interesting

Sorry! Wasn't! This was called Faith Healer

The movie's reputation is kind of odd, I'm never clear how well regarded it is.

Ah it was that one (though it was also three monologues one after each other so feel somewhat confident you wouldn't like it. About a mysterious Faith Healer too, nonless)

Oh class, it's a banger song to be fair to it. The Man Comes Around is my favourite of his.

Also uh some of those American album got a bit ropey towards the end.

Oh I love the verse too (and the Christmas specials and the Sesame Street appearances) but yeah, he was a thoughtful and active guy! Being hip clearly didn't concern him.

Hah, that's true!

I like Johnny Cash and he has a fascinating career but I uh wouldn't be describing a verse about space captains with The Highwaymen as "cool".

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 9h

I think you are doing your musical heroes no favours by pretending their interesting but kind of embarrassing eras didn't happen.

My word!

I remember in a biography of Reed, he talked about kids being reincarnations of their grandparents and... I can see why why he thought that.

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 10h

Nice! #Friellie4Life

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 10h

True! (I'm deffo guilty of doing that too but I'm making the effort to stop!)

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 10h

I enjoy the odd jaunt

Does Ireland have the spookiest theatre? I feel like 90% of our most regarded plays could reasonably be horror movies

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 10h

There will be no wheeling in the village!

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 10h

I'm onboard with this.
