So what's hot and what's not this week?

HOT

Voice memos Just when we thought everyone hated using the phone, audio messages are coming into their own

'Star Wars' binge We non-believers give in, it's time to figure out what this is all about. See you in three days

Tiaras But think more hairband than Disney princess

Fish-finger sandwich Haven't had one since you were seven? Do it. Using thick white bread and a lick of tartare sauce or mayo

'Hamilton' Wildly successful Broadway hip-hop musical fest has become a cultural phenomenon. But best check it out on YouTube; three-month waiting list for $300 (€277.50) ticket

NOT HOT

Where will I go now? It says on the door that breakfast ends at 11am. But the waiter came over at 10.57am to say they're already into lunch service and you can have soup instead of porridge

Work fear Regretting legging it out of the office wrapped in tinsel on your last day before holidays and terrorised by thought of what awaits on your return

Warm weather No real chance of getting full use of our new winter woollies and faux furs

Festive season trickery Hey, you definitely had main courses for less than €25 the last time we were in here for dinner
