I have actually no idea. I can say without hyperbole that this will play on my mind for weeks. I really mean it. There are exactly zero ways of communicating that idea. Which is precisely the sort of thing that is worth protecting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's literally the point of the word, you insert the word literally to clarify that you're not using a metaphor. So, headliners sorted then?

The way I see it is, the longer we go without a small announcement the closer we are to the first poster, maybe they’re just gonna drop that instead of drip feeding a few more acts before it ?
