Nice - I used to have a free vpn for bbc iPlayer but it seems like you can’t do that anymore, unless I’m mistaken

Could do - but it’s pretty quiet, nothing that can’t wait until I’m home - just thought it was funny to be met with “please scan your face” as soon as I opened it!

Ooh yes - and there’s an excellent bakery I can recommend for breakfast - they also do omelets, bagels, and all sorts. Martin Auer on Schmeidgasse - you will love it - great atmosphere

Best line of all time from Partridge:
“Now, I noticed there’s a school for the deaf nearby, does that mean there will be noise or won’t be noise ? Could go either way…”

Please can I request the Open University tune from the 80s? If not that, how about Thames?
Great concept by the way! So talented

It’s so cosy - feels very familiar / quite trippy actually.

Yep! 😆 just having a laugh - even if I’m the only one who finds it funny! 😆
