This is a great thread regardless of whether you're a #LOTR fan or not. All the office speak will resonate with a lot of peeps...
"This could have been an email." Aragorn whispers. "He ALWAYS pulls this shit in 'Any Other Business" Boromir replies, quietly. "It's why Faramir marked himself as busy when the invite went out."
Everybody else: I hate the clock change, I hate the shorter days, I hate the darker early evenings, I hate the cold etc etc Me: Huzzah for all of that, plus my birthday and Christmas. ๐ ๐๐
Immediate #earworm... ๐ถ From its rollin' coastal waters I can see Croagh Patrick's peak. Where one Sunday every summer the pilgrims climb the reek. ๐ถ
Good morning. Croagh Patrick from our digs. Westport County Mayo, #Ireland

Made me think of this... Which is, of course, vastly superior! ๐
Oct 1987: The Right Stuff (Single) ad from Bryan Ferry ยซBRYAN FERRY THE RIGHT STUFFยป
I reckon there'll be quite a few rogue recycling containers riding down my street tomorrow morning...
- don't eat butter - not yet - yes - or grey - always - what...who does that?! - yes - lounge only - no - good
How to tell if it is Autumn: - butter is hard & tears the bread - duvet tog transition - sleeves are back - everything is golden - books accumulate - snacks are stored under the sofa & bed - nose tip is always cold - blanket in each room - squirrels have changed your WiFi password - dark
Grim weather here today, so I might have this as my soundtrack to some dull domestic drudgery. I particularly enjoy screeching along to "Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Pt3 Praying For The End Of Time" ๐ถ I'll never break my promise or forget my vow. But God only knows what I can do right now. ๐ถ
#NotAOneHitWonder #OTD in 1977, Meat Loaf released โBat Out of Hell,โ with songs written by Jim Steinman & production by Todd Rundgrenโฆ Steinmanโs vision brought theatrical storytelling and big emotions to rock radio.

Had this #earworm for days now... ๐ถ So, in this almost empty Gin Palace. Through a two-way looking glass you see your Alice. ๐ถ Not sure that I remember the song from when it was released, but it featured in the soundtrack of something I'm watching and now my brain is obsessed with that one part!
As far as I'm concerned Tommy K is a DJ... And yes, I've done the moves on many an occasion! ๐
'Picky bits' is not like the others on the list though. If you hate it you need to come up with a better name for the stuff you buy from that very specific section of M&S.
Reminds me of this guy George Lewis, who has done a few GD parodies... Including the one explaining why there are so many pregnancies amongst the couples featured! ๐
