Fine by me, Hicks. I love your stuff. I just don't think I've seen so much bluster and hurly burly over a scoop before. Look at poor Franco. He's so crestfallen in that vid, haha.

Hurly burly? Not heard that one before. I did warn folk that it wasn't going to be a massive thing but it did seem to get out of hand. lol

I first heard it in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, from the second witch: "When the hurly-burly's done, / When the battle's lost and won" (1.1.3-4).

According to the OED:

hurly-burly, n., adj., and adv.
Pronunciation:  /ˈhəːlɪˈbəːli/

A. n.


a. Commotion, tumult, strife, uproar, turmoil, confusion. (Formerly a more dignified word than now.)
