The algorithm came good at last, and gave me the brilliant '80s Estonian soul-folk groove of 'Stopp, Seisku Aeg!' by Velly Joonas: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEb6...

Call My Bluff was on an hour earlier than usual tonight so I missed it, fml. I bet it had great words on it and all.
Is there a Call My Bluff Bluesky out there? #BluffSky

This tells me that, like all Cork people, his head was so turned by the Queen of England visiting their English Market that he is now fundamentally Not Sound On The National Question:

29-0, the most dangerous lead in rugby #Analysis #6Nations #FRAvIRL

Anyway. This is nice. #FRAvIRE #SixNations

For away games in Paris we should replace 'Ireland's Call' with 'Les Lacs De Connemara'. Win over the French crowd straight from the start, have them singing for us all through the match #SixNations #FRAvIRE

I'd also like to see in real life someday the Azadi Tower in Tehran, though that might have to wait a while because, well.
