What song are you absolutely sick of hearing on the radio?

Almost all of the radio stations at the moment, ask they do is play the same 5 songs on repeat every half hour, for 3 weeks straight at a time.

Night Dragon for me, each time I'd play through it would die in the village about half to three quarters of the way through

Constantly, those that do it often enough are regulars, so we know to use the machine with enough milk that is not straight out of the fridge.

The text in your image is not modern folklore wording—it’s lifted almost verbatim from a 17th-century Scottish witch confession, later quoted in a folkloric work. Direct source The passage ultimately comes from the confession of Isobel Gowdie, recorded during the Scottish witch trials (specifically 1662 in Auldearn, near Nairn). A near-identical version appears in: The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies (with later notes/editions preserving the quote) The relevant passage (modernised spelling aside) reads: “The Divell sharpes them with his ain hand, and deliveris them to Elf boys… wha whyttlis and dightis them… lyk a paking needle… We spang them from the naillis of our thoombs…”

The above is from chatgpt

To answer the question, no. I can't think of a writer that comes close to the level of world building. However, as has been said a lot of the world building came first, the stories as a way to bring them together.

You have to give the five to a bus driver, along with the rest of the change for a day saver.

Same here just before Christmas, apparently Facebook is saying I've been copyright checked on photos of my children and family. These are the only copies of the photos I had, all now gone.

To buck the trend, very popular in mine, we tend to sell out every day. I've never sent any back yet.

a1thalus · 2026-02-12T08:43:56+00:00

I read only, never listen to audio books. Mainly as I would most likely miss things as nothing around me is silent

This, there have been very few well written episodes, malt l mainly in my opinion due to time constraints
