    A mysterious virus in Wuhan, China. Never heard of it before but apparently it’s the sixth largest city in Asia!

    I think lots of people were similar. Doubt they’ll be visiting tough.

    I haven’t watched the news in a while but I remember something about a virus in China but last I heard it hadn’t made it to Ireland so I’m sure it’ll blow over soon enough.

    Being a long-time fan of the band Rush, I’m a bit biased, but I was surprised how much coverage the death of Neil Peart got worldwide. Several people involved in the James Bond films left us too: Honor Blackman, Diana Rigg, and Sean Connery.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    That big explosion in the port over in Lebonon. How could you forget that? It was even bigger than the American MOAb Bomb and caused lots of devastation to a country that had it hard enough already.
    Darth Vader dieing ok not actually Darth Vader but the actor that played him.
    Stat Trek Lower Decks coming out people saying it would be crap and it's actually the best Star Trek in years and as respect for the Franchise as well as ships that actually look like Star Trek ships.
    Brexit sorted at last thank fu,ck.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.
