BONG! Pop concert in Scotland

Apparently she was on stage for three and a half hours, and had over a dozen costume changes. Is there some kind of toilet tent she gets into to change in?
It is simpler than it looks.

I think she's playing in Liverpool ,  but I don't believe I've ever listened to any of her music.   I must be turning into Wowbagger !

Swimming costume?
That's all I've ever seen her wearing.

You’re not the only one, Andrew.  I can’t say I've knowingly heard one of her songs either.

Yes, but, Reg, you do belong to one of her demographics.

I was in Edinburgh last weekend, and the place seemed abuzz with Swifties.
The tram from Newhaven heading to the stadium was ram-packed with young uns all glittered up.
The ones jammed up near me had come up from That London to get a place.
One of my companions from Canada was given a sparkly bracelet from a random stranger she just met on the tram!

I quite liked the buzz about the place.

It’s as if these people haven’t heard of diversification.

Or as my grandmother was want to say, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. And she hadn’t even had the benefit of any business management education!

Having people pay to watch a livestream of your guinea pigs seems a bit like selling crochet on Etsy. A good idea to earn some cash from a hobby, but probably not an actual business.

Why would there be?  Speed limits do not apply to cyclists.

And in any case, when the vast majority of cyclists are not like the denizens of this place and will mostly NOT have Garmins or other devices telling them how fast they are going, how would you enforce one?

Indeed - thus the Not News BONG.  It's a rag trying to whip up anti-cycling fever for clicks.

They did say that they were very sorry though, so there’s nothing to see here.
