It hadn’t because some bug meant it didn’t work on my phone, but I’ve just checked for the first time in a couple of days and it’s been fixed! I’m just about to go brush my teeth so I might test it out :grin:

She seems to like heavier stuff, but Neil Young has been on a lot and she’s used to that now. Fool’s Gold (the band, not the song) gets a shuffle from her too.

Lionel Richie’s character has since developed in a full-grown baddie who features in their stories / games quite regularly. Along with Philippa Oberio (whose name seems to derive from me singing the Filippo Berio advert song a while back)

It turns out that one of the people at my socially distanced drinks last night was the main bloke from the Go! Team. He lives just round the corner from me and is a friend of a friend. It didn’t click until after he’d gone. My other half went to school with their guitarist too.

This is brilliant. Do they know who he is? Or do they just like the name?

11yo: trains (specifically ICE trains, U-bahns and S-bahns), the Phoenix magazine, playing drums, reading prolifically, the Space Shuttle programme, adventure stories with her sister, and a made-up band called The Deutsche Rockers (sample song: We’re Zooming Round The Country)

7yo: bunny rabbits, gardening, cooking, playing the piano, talking to her best friend on WhatsApp, making craft bits and pieces, adventure stories with her sister, and a made-up band called the Deutsche Zoomers (sample song: Violets Blue)

As part of Mrs CCB’s birthday present, we recorded a split A-side single featuring the Deutsche Zoomers and the Deutsche Rockers. Two songs, four minutes, punk af.
