Yep, sorry, I realised it sounded a bit muddled in the morning!

Yep, you do have to mute words yourself if avoiding spoilers. That's fine. But it only blocks posts using the muted words so doesn't include those that don't use them. It's not a biggy in the scheme of things, but a few posts did get through though thankfully not containing why major spoilers.

Plea to people posting about #celebritytraitors. Please consider those of us avoiding spoilers by muting words temporarily and use tags. Thanks.

We rewatched it recently with Dover young 'uns. There are some clumsy bits but the situations in the film are hilarious! The scene at the wedding, Jules' Mum thinking she and Jess are seeing each other. Our favourite bit is the closing sequence which got played about 3 times!

I love the fact that Wolves have a player called Wolfe playing for them.

I've not had many problems either to be fair. I think Gran Canaria at half term was the worst but it wasn't much more than 20 minutes.

Someone estimated 2 minutes for first EES interaction which is ok given it was the first time and only slightly longer than the current stamping process. Will get quicker next interaction too.

Apparently Italy started rolling out in is regional airports last week but I cannot find any info about delays yet. One of the French websites did a useful round up of the roll out and delays. Sounded like manual methods still being used in many places.

After I read about it in the Guardian, I asked my year 4 child about it and she says that all the boys are doing it at school, especially in Maths. I guess it shows they are paying attention 😂 She even knows the origin story, if you can call it that, but thought it was a football game.

Well, clearly EES roll out is not causing the delays expected because if I search for EES, I get "buc-ees" or something. No idea what that is!

Panic hits reform in Alnwick, Panic hits Reform in Maidstone. I wonder to myself...

I literally came across this for the first time last week when someone on Reddit described a gig they went full of 13 year olds.

Thanks for the info. I will listen to the Josephine Baker podcast tonight. My daughter will know the song but I haven't heard that podcast yet.

My daughter and I love the Florence Nightingale one. I'm guessing you are parodying Dido?

Watching this belatedly and my take away is that I didn't know the Fresh Prince was a thing in 1986!

Yeah, I remember the Simon bit. Was that a temporary thing?

I find it interesting that North and South Tyneside have a much bigger reputation for producing musicians than Newcastle. Sunderland seems to be better at it too. I'm from Gateshead so no bias behind this observation.

I know right? Sounds like they have had to relax their definition of Newcastle to include where bands are based, though Riton is a good shout. Dubstar are from Gateshead / Halifax but I guess formed in Newcastle.

North Tyneside is arguably the musical powerhouse of Tyne & Wear followed by Sunderland and South Tyneside (I forgot the Animals - also South Tyneside). The two landlocked boroughs (Newcastle and Gateshead) are way behind, unless you count Wallsend as Newcastle. #mercuryprize

Basically, you're left with PJ and Duncan, Jimmy Nail and The Shadows.
