This is the first music competition sponsored by our gracious new voucher host: Curry’s PC World.
To celebrate, the question this week is: What’s your favourite song featuring phones or phone calls?
Here’s mine.
The winner will be chosen by my repair man and sent a €20 Currys PC World gift voucher (yes, twenty big ones).
Please include video links if possible.
Lines close SATURDAY 11am.
Nick says: Good luck.

Tuam campaigner Breeda Murphy and adoptee and activist Eunan Duffy on the reaction from survivors to the publication of the weighty if insubstantial Mother and Baby Home Report (top).
This is the sixth in a series of shows with Eunan and Breeda dealing with Mother and Baby Homes across the island of Ireland and the issues facing birth mothers and adoptees. All are available here.

Behold: the “Spirit Of Passion’ – a heavily customised art-deco take on the BMW R18 by German designer Dirk Oehlerking.
Beneath the shiny black carapace – complete with hand-made full fairing and mudguard, handlebars, integrated indicators, bespoke headlight and modified roadster-style exhaust – all the functional R18 systems remain intact.
You may also like the Blechmann R18, and the R9T.
Now look at him.
This afternoon.

The pottery confections of artist Debra Broz – recycled, discarded figurines, broken apart then Cronenberged into bizarre conflations and adorable crimes against nature.
Splutter!
