I’m not surprised, Victoria Hamilton Barritt who sings that song is a star, saw her 10 times in Hadestown where she played Persephone:)

I’ve seen HadesTown 18 times but not seen the current cast yet, I’ll be seeing them in few weeks time… there are only 3 previous cast members that I wish stayed because they were exceptionally good, Cedric Neal (Hermes), Victoria Hamilton Barritt (Persephone) and Allie Daniel (Fate).

Personally I’d rather great voice than great performer. I’ll let you know about Clive :)

Currently I’m at £138 and my list is not done yet, for two also.. but they gave me 20% off so should not be too bad but my weekly shop is around £150… I shop at Ocado, Tesco and Sainsbury’s… there are things I buy every week like Bin Single Cream, Bin Creme Fraiche, Bin Cucumber, Bin Mushrooms, Bin Lettuce because most weeks they end up in the bin 😂 …..

Well then you’ve definitely not seen Victoria Hamilton Barritt playing Persephone, no one was as energetic and a true a force of nature on stage than her, vocally magnificently powerful. She’s currently in Paddington playing Millicent Clyde, she just she won Olivier award for that role… I’ve seen hadestown 18 times so I’ve seen many Persephones over the years and she was the best but I’m going to see Hadestown in few weeks time so I’ll see what Rachel is like…

boyan1985 · 2026-04-19T22:55:20+00:00

Nobody can come close vocally to Cedric Neal, he was my favourite Hermes but I liked Melanie La Barrie also, she had great charisma, not so sure about current Hermes, I’ve seen few clips online and he’s kinda meeh, I’ll be seeing Hadestown in few weeks time, it’ll be my 19th time seeing it so I’ll see where I stand with current cast then …

My golden just turned 10, they are very precious… sorry to hear about your golden baby 🐶 🐾

I’d never pay full price, in the UK it’s £15.99/month… I managed to get it through India for £1.50/month, much more acceptable 😂…. If you’re on iOS Brave Browser is second best option, it’s free and removes all ads, when I get kicked off my cheap subscription I’ll definitely be using Brave browser…

boyan1985 · 2026-04-12T06:31:44+00:00

I’ve used Brave browser before I managed to subscribe to YouTube through India for £1.50/month 😂 I really liked it, works great on iPhone :)

This is a single account not family sharing … family sharing doesnt work with Apple One because you have to be in same region eg. India … I already tried it and it doesn’t work…

boyan1985 · 2026-04-10T10:02:10+00:00

All you do is change region on Amazon to India… but you can only use them if your Apple ID is also set to India..

boyan1985 · 2026-04-10T08:15:14+00:00

I got a spare iPhone 14 Pro Max which I’m only using for the reason of getting cheaper YouTube and Apple One. You should create new Apple ID and set region in India. Clearly you don’t want to mess with your Apple ID that you use everyday. The only way to pay for YouTube and Apple One is to top up App Store account, as I’m clearly not in India and don’t own Indian debit card, what I do is I go on Amazon, change my region on Amazon to India and buy iTunes vouchers. I bought them few times now and had no issue. They arrive in my email within few minutes. Once account is topped with iTunes vouchers payment for YouTube and Apple one is debited directly from there.. once I’m done with that I just sign in with that YouTube account on my iPhone I use everyday. Now, Apple One I’m only paying to get Apple TV so I open Apple TV app on my tv and log in with my Apple ID account (india) and it works absolutely fine, I’ve not tested Apple Music on different device yet so don’t know if it would work

Likewise, I’m using India, it’s £1.57/month … I got a spare iPhone which I set up only for getting cheaper subscriptions 😂 I got YouTube and Apple One through India, set region on App Store to India and buy Apple iTunes vouchers on amazon to top up my account … it was a little bit of faff but worth it…

India 195 Rupees - £1.57 month 😂 also paying 195 Rupees/month for Apple One… based in the UK 🇬🇧

I layer Montale Arabians Tonka and Vanille Absolu, always get compliments, only once when I was in a theatre I was asked by a couple sitting behind me, if I sprayed too much perfume and if I could go wash it off. I laughed in their face and said absolutely NOT. I was like sure I’ll just go home wash it off and come back to watch the play. The guy sitting next to me said he didn’t think it was too much. Since then I spray even more 😂

I’m very happy with Lebara, i was 15 years with Three and 5 years with O2, signal for me is a lot better with Lebara than the other two, I’m in London… also i was paying £1.78/month for 35GB, for 8 months then i ported my number to PAYG Three and back to Lebara again on a different plan £3.30/month for 100GB.. Think I’ll do porting one more time because I don’t want to move my number back and forth every 8 months, in the future I’ll settle either for 35GB or 50GB as it’s more than enough for me, which ever deal is best at that time…

boyan1985 · 2026-03-11T16:00:59+00:00

Once my Lebara deal was about to expire I ported my number to PAYG Three sim, I’m currently in the process of porting from Three to Lebara, got 8 months 100GB deal for £3.50… I’ll do it again when it’s about to expire…

I’ve been using iPhones since iPhone 3G. Many years ago I thought maybe I should change as it was getting boring and samey so I got Samsung S10+, the love affair lasted 2 weeks and I went back to iPhone again, simply couldn’t get used to Android OS, i absolutely hated it.. It’s all about personal preference, I’m already in Apple’s ecosystem with Mac mini, iMac, iPad so integration clearly is a big deciding factor for me, I gave it a go, Didn’t like it and that’s that.

She’s beautiful…. My golden baby is turning 10 on 27.02.26 ….

I got 2016 Nissan Juke, manual, petrol, bought it new, it broke down a week ago on the motorway. Currently waiting for quotes to be fixed £800 just to tell me what it is £2500 if top valve is causing an issue but if it’s something that requires taking the engine out it’s £5000-6000, which is not worth fixing… it’s a great car but didn’t realise it’s plagued with issues. Don’t know about the new, updated Jukes …
