Am already missing your input in my FB world! Like Si commented, I love thinking of the songs on theme, and enjoy seeing what others have suggested. It’s the little things….

Totally understand the break, and I think I’m one step there - I hardly ever post on my page, no-one cares what films I’m watching (stopped posting about my NZIFF attendance a few years ago) - but I am honestly interested in what you’re watching and more generally up to.

Keep up the great work Simon, loved this morning’s post on The LION. Gold.

That’s what I’ll be listening to later today

I am loving the change but I do miss some of the good banter and conversation starters…

Very brave and admirable feat! If you can avoid Facebook yesterday of all days (unless it was just me glued to the live feeds as the unlawful occupation at Parliament got busted up?) then you can totally do this. Well done on giving up such a soulless time-suck.

I'd be lying if I said I'm not gutted that Off the Tracks is no longer operating - trying to think of all those songs has been a favourite game of mine for years now! But I totally get it, and have been thinking about doing something similar myself. Will look forward to continuing to read your work here and on your website, thanks Simon.

Good on you. I’ve always been in awe of your ability to go cold turkey on things - smoking/drinking. I’m terrible at stopping things. I’m always swapping vices for vices and I’ve never been able to quit FB!! Always wanted to for all of the reasons you say. So proud of you and keen to see where it goes x arohanui mate
