A Short Play about the Things You Can Get away with When You're far from Home.

I'm not sure how common they are in the Antipodes (pronounced 'anti-podes'), but I am signed up to about a dozen different e-coupon/deal notification services. Groupon is the major one, but there are heaps of smaller ones and sometimes they send pretty amazing stuff.

I started and erased three different descriptions of one I received today, but have decided that I can give myself the night off and let the jokes write themselves. Enjoy - it's champagne comedy from the headline on down.

Smokey Robinson Presents Human Nature: Australian Vocal Sensations Perform Motown Hits Orpheum Theatre (Boston, MA) FULL PRICE: $61.50 OUR PRICE: $15.00 - $31.75* Smokey Robinson presents Australia's most popular vocal group, Human Nature. They are coming to the Orpheum Theatre as part of their first ever U.S. tour. Formed originally as a doo-wop band, Human Nature have become huge pop stars at home, soaring up the charts with multiple top ten hits, as well as three multi-platinum records. Their success attracted the attention of Smokey Robinson, who recorded the song "Get Ready" with the band. Robinson then brought them to Las Vegas, where they've played sold out shows for more than two years. Their show, billed as "The Ultimate Celebration of Motown," showcases the distinctive, dynamic harmonies of members Toby Allen, Phil Burton, Andrew Tierney and Michael Tierney as they perform Motown's greatest hits, including songs from The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes and more.

The Best Day of My Life.

I use Twitter pretty much only to keep up with Australian goings-on via the rantings of Wil Anderson, Hannah Gadsby and Tony Martin. I never send anything myself, but today Tony Martin was tweeting about adding your own background music to old silent films. This prompted me to tweet him the YouTube link to the original '70s theme music for 'Monday Night Football'.

A few minutes later, this popped up in my inbox:
