It's the anniversary of my wife's and my first date, and in my half of the world it's the start of meteorological spring. A perfect day to enjoy Papa Joe's 🎺🎺 and 🥁🥁 for the last of his C major festive symphonies to appear in our survey.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it
We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

To be fair, perhaps she only attended Parliament on the days they mentioned oasis tickets
In the last 5 years, there have been 23 mentions of Oasis tickets, 5899 mentions of Debt, 1634 mentions of National Debt, 1026 to British Debt, and 434 to Household debt.
She says one of the reason is politics is not serious. She said there have been more discussion in parliament of Oasis tickets than of British debt.

Haha. Ah well. At least our little effort got noticed. I don’t think I really know just how many people are doing anything with #A-Haydn-A-Day , but it seems more than enough for the party to be a fun one and that’s good enough for me.
