The struggles I have regularly spelling out "O-apostrophe-D-O-N-O-H-O-E" pale in comparison to this surname. #SurnameChallenge

If it's retail/hospitality related, for DOB, I select the following month in the hope of a bonus gift as a reward. More generally it's Alan Turing's birthday in the 1970s. 🀭

Let's hope she doesn't repeat the mistake from the world premiere in Vienna 1867 when the percussionist misread the score, drowning out the choir and orchestra - but it may help liven things up. 🀣

I hope you've got a comfortable seat - it's one of Brahms' longest works! Does F play the timpani by any chance?

Maybe mention that Jesus was a Jew, in fact he might be willing to provide a divine reference for you.

Oh really? That's how the message I received from the Vatican started. What a shame, sounded too good to be true.

@eastmad.bsky.social Is it just me, or have you also received a recruitment message from the Vatican via LinkedIn? πŸ€”

The book cover of Bill Gates autobiography "Source Code".

The book cover of Bill Gates autobiography "Source Code".

It's rare I'll finish an unabridged audiobook and really wasn't expecting to enjoy this, but found it informative and insightful and stuck with it to the end. #Neurodiversity #STEM #ComputingHistory #BillGates

Watched all 4 back to back last night. Episode 3 was so profound I couldn't just go to bed then! Really impressed with the real-time flow of single take.

Ok, tried Gemini twice, one refused to cooperate and the other wasn't bad. Chat GPT gave a fantastic report with links to video and resources.
