Jeff Wayne's WAR of the WORLDS

It's back on! 

And it's for the third time already that it's made available after being made unavailable. 

It was made unavailable once and then was blocked in most countries of the world (230+) twice! 

But I guess rights holders can't let go of ad revenues. 

As of now, video remains blocked in only 20 countries, namely, the US, Germany, NZ and some US colonies dependencies and territories.

This time everything was as cold as per usual at the place I go to but still not exactly hot... but I did discover there are microwave ovens on the premises so you can warm up.

Per two: Swedish meatballs small portion with baked vegetables and peas, broccoli with cheese, sirloin steak with fries and barbecue sauce, two fizzy drinks and a cup of Americano coffee.

...nothing to become too excited about though.

I like Fahrenheit and Davidoff Cool Water but am not overly enthusiastic about wearing them as they have become too familiar over the years, if not to say decades.

The rest... I don't even like them that much... but can still wear so won't be wasted.
