What can it be?
That thing that's rapidly approaching us, like a thing with a mission?
Why, it can only be our old friend the last day of the month.
And that means there's just time to squeeze in another visit from the feature that just doesn't know when to stop visiting and wouldn't stop visiting even if it did know how to stop visiting.
It can only be the one in which you The Reader get decide just what the topic of debate shall be.
It may be something that's only just occurred to you or something you've been tortured by for many decades but, whatever it is, you can register it for discussion in the comments section below.

October 1st marks the 90th birthday of Julie Andrews so that's a good reason to ask your opinion of musicals...
Do you love them or avoid them? What are your favourite musicals or songs from musicals?
Nice question Colin.
Charlie loves musicals.
More specifically, Charlie and his fam love Julie Andrews in Sound of Music.
FWIW in the youth hostel in Salzburg SOM is on 24x7! And the bier is cheap!
That said, never really grooved to Mary Poppins. Time to revisit as an adult?
Great topic, Colin! Our house also enjoys musicals. First movie I remember seeing as a boy was "Mary Poppins". My parents were big fans of musicals, so we saw many, pretty much anything by Rogers and Hammerstein.
My favorites would include "The Sound of Music", "West Side Story", "On the Town" and "Grease".
A brief addendum, in the remote chance that anyone would care- the only two plays I ever appeared in, in my momentary acting career, were both musicals: "Pippin" and "Camelot".
The Sound of Music is good. Also, it provided a springboard for the acting careers of Peter Parker/Spider-man (1977), & Jessica, from Logan's Run
( the series.)
Musicals aren't a big thing, for me. The only one I've seen live is Mutiny, in the 80s.
Carousel's okay (on tv). Grease has great songs. Lots of songs from Chess are good, too.
Supposedly, mid-80s, Absolute beginners was the coolest thing in the world. But I've never watched it.
