i do not understand why people do not like brussel sprouts?
Ah they just need some good bacon to go along with...
Anyway, in Ireland (and I think in the UK too?) the entire nation eats them religiously every Christmas Day.
Maybe it's people who don't like Christmas that don't like Brussels sprouts?
this is exactly what i did...added bacon, onions and some curry powder and cooked them like that. even did mash potatoes and put it all together. the kids ate everything but the husband took all the brussel sprouts out...

Doesn't bacon defeat the whole vegetable thing? You may be onto something with the Christmas thing haha.
shame for Ireland and the UK if that is Xmas day choice of vegetable is brussel sprouts, i prefer vegetables like pumpkin and broccoli or gem squash (although we don't get gems here) as Xmas vegetables. don't really like Xmas but love brussel sprouts so makes one think

There's a lady's shoe next to the dough balls in our freezer! The obvious question is 'why can't you put the dough balls in the same compartment as the pizzas"?

If the lady of the house's feet hurt, this could be a solution?
Me too, but my excitement is likely to evaporate as soon as I'll see no new songs in the setlist... dedos cruzados...
Well then, don't let your excitement evaporate if that happens! Although I do hope they mix it up with some special surprises for the folks there. They aren't spoiled like Europe and NA... Pull out all the stops.
The setlists over the last year have not been as varied as in recent tours & all well under 3 hours. Are there more curfews than there used to be?

I think there may be several factors at play. Curfews would seem to be a factor, but not sure they’ve changed? There’s the matter of having tons of tracks to rehearse and coordinate tech for, made more complicated by the fact band members don’t necessarily live in proximity to one another. They have relationships and full-time lives that are very different from touring every few years. Then there’s the fact touring is exhausting, not a vacation. We’ve all heard how zipped -up the production crew is and how Rob has his hand in everything (greedy bastard). Can you imagine how exhausting that all is? I can, and it makes me want to jump off a cliff!

This post lead me to ask myself: are they really still a band?

That, sir, is a deeply philosophical question. I say “yes” (hi Saffron!) because they’re tie-yeet!

A tribute band (to their past selves), or a nostalgia act, I would be tempted to say.
But I hope they get to prove they're still capable of actually churning out new music, recording it, producing it, releasing it.
Don't get ne wrong: playing new songs live is already something. And some of those from 2022 are really great (Endsong in particular). But something important is missing if they don't make it into a studio version, IMO.
I sent out my retirement announcement to my mailing list last night. It took approximately 10 minutes for someone to send me an email asking me to put them in touch with my office landlords or give them details on my lease. That's what the real estate market is like here.

They smell blood in the water...
Retirement is good although if given a choice between retired with bad health issues or working with decent health I'd still be working. I really hated my last job but I was stuck there after I got sick. I ended up working 5 years longer than the doctors wanted me to. I wanted to be out of debt when I pulled the plug. It was a good plan. Would've been better if COVID hadn't hit a few months after I stopped working. Oh well, I'm still breathing for now. Enjoy all your extra time!

Thanks, chuck. I don't intend to retire altogether, just to stop working manual labor.
