As I’m feeling sorry for my avid readers, I’ve decided to give you the day off. Consequently my post is over at Sky News.
If however you want to read the next in the series of ‘A Man of Letters’ you’ll have to go over there and, if you want to comment, sign-in and everythink. Diane, particularly, should be delighted – tee hee.

I just left a comment on the on-line Murdoch mag, that is SKY Community, and it tells me that I must be logged in to leave a comment – I am, does this mean i’m barred for slagging them off last time ?
I have no idea GW – every time I pop in over there I have to log-in as well ……. never mind
After I escaped from your under-stairs cupboard (I take it the stairs give you access to the roof-top jacuzzi ?), I ran into your neighbour who was on his way to post a letter of complaint to the council about the bonfire. Apparently he is a retired biochemist, he was muttering something about “the main biodegradative pathway of PCP is reductive dehalogenation”, completely lost me.
BTW, I see what you mean about the fanzines, I think you ought to double the editor’s salary.
70’s has rummaged a lot for the Fanzine. Now, what’s nothing doubled? …… mmmmmmmm, tricky …….
I’ve spoken to the neighbour and as soon as I explained about the hedgehog problem he withdrew his complaint ….
I thought he would, those PCP-enhanced mutant hedgehogs are a pain.
…someone’s got PCP over here?
There are dusty angels everywhere.
[OK,I had to google PCP - I'm old!]
(I think it’s really a ‘West Coast’ thing on this side of the pond. Least I think so, lol)
I was referring to the nasty timber preservative Pentachlorophenol rather than the nasty hallucinogenic drug.
Nasty
you may be having a day of rest what about us poor commentators…. we click in here, we click in there … we have to click everywhere .. I have got a bad back you know.
anyway .. I always laugh out loud when I see in the instructions, once you have got started…. ‘you will need 2 people for this bit’ and I am stood there on my tod… if is so hysterical …….
That’s very sad young 70’s – surely the ‘teen’ could help …. that is if she isn’t jetting off somewhere …..
Well said 70s, I can see the the smoke coming out of Diane’s ears as well.
Did you post at Murdoch Central, or are you barred too (I think the moderator may have dropped off) ?
It’s lucky there are so many of us commentators out here keeping this site going, even if we DO speak more nonsense than DP. I blame Murdoch (corruption, etc)
I’ve had a little look and there don’t seem to be any comments waiting for moderation …… there must be a virtual black hole, an abyss, a rent in the time-line …… we’re doomed I tell you, DOOMED!!!!!!
I think avid readers will find the answer in Douglas Adams’ ‘So long and Thanks for All the Fish’.
Or do I mean Richard Adams’ ‘Watership Down’ ? Whatever, go and rediscover both now.
More literary recommendations could be found at my blog, if I had one. Think i’m calling it NoSpacesNoSpecials.
Douglas Adams has all the answers to everything ….. Richard Adams tends to rabbit on a bit ……
GW ~ I went into read but then I couldn’t be a*rsed like Diane to log in tee hee
I am having a bit of a busy day today .. I will pop over later
Everybody should be having a snooze – not talking about bottoms here, there and everywhere ……. tsk
‘Doe’ say .that
Don’t know if any readers spotted this headline from a best-selling newspaper ?
THE BOSSES BLOG BLOWS OUT!
Can’t be a*sed to go over there today, I’ll read it tomorrow but that will mean I can’t come here as I do not have the time to visit everyone’s blogs as it is, so visiting TWO of yours would not be fair on everyone else. All this gadding about. Don’t you have jobs to do? Does TG know you are skiving?
And giving me the day off when I’m already here doesn’t count. Tell me I can have tomorrow off and that would be much more useful. So there.
Rant over.
Thanks for the linky love anyway *mwah*
Did anyone ever tell you how attractive you were when ‘en rant’? …….. and actually, I’ve just put a door on the shower room. The neighbours popped round with a box of chocolates to say ‘thank you’ – tee hee.
BTW, it would be very inconvenient if you took tomorrow off ……. can we pencil in the 25th of December?
Oh, all right then….where’s my diary…
I don’t know ….. I’ve looked everywhere ….
Hi Diane, I have a blog !
Called NoSpacesNoSpecials, not worth looking at now, give it a couple of months.
Put your URL in the comment form then GW and we can all have a gander …… sheeeeeesh
That confused me. I clicked on the link and headed…straight back here. For one awful moment, I thought that gitwizard was an alias for DP (the name’s right) and you do have a tendency towards developing multiple personalities.
I’m definitely not GW …… but there are a few hidden personalities around …… sorry
Sorry DP, i’m dripping tears all over your comment section. Doesn’t usually affect me this way. Have got my ‘Songs I bawl my eyes out to’ playlist blasting through the headphones. If anyone is interested the top 5 are:
1 Billy Bragg – Levi Stubbs Tears
2 Mercury Rev – The Dark is Rising
3 Elbow – One Day Like This
4 Within Temptation – Memories
5 Michael Andrews – Mad World
I’m listening to number 2. Songs affect me at different times for different reasons, I guess i’m just wimping out.
Google ‘Blogger’ and create your own blog within minutes ….. it’s easier than falling off the sofa *crash*
[Mad World is a favourite BTW]
Thankyou DP, I did fall off several times (must go and get this wound sorted out, it’s ruined my favourite t-shirt), but i’m just cracking open some serious splosh. Am now a blogger, NoSpacesNoSpecials.
Nothing to shout about yet though, I can’t even drive the thing !
yoh you bit the bullet GW … come on let us know where you are??
Happy now young 70’s ……?
will be once I can visit him (or her)
I’m a him, 70’s. My blog was called NoSpacesNoSpecials, but google seems to have done a SKY on me, I can’t find it either. It wasn’t very good, I was just Mwah-ing DP for pointing me to Blogger.
going back to my ‘bawling’ playlist, track 3.
Found it again, on blogger, don’t know why GOOGLE won’t let me in ?
I am here bloggers, but give it a miss ’till I tidy it up a bit.
Probably, take a month or two.
REgards, Gitwizard.
70’s, I also love you to bits,
Apologies ‘Fuzzy’
Ah ….another pleasant valley Sunday here then…… how nice!
Every thing is very laid back here – comatose almost …..
I need to be comatose – its sounds great…..
Practice makes perfect ……
I’m quite perplexed as to why you’re writing there instead of here. I don’t think they allow Canadians there (a great tit told me that), so I’ll not be able to sign up.
How unfortunate for you; I know the very thought of reading what I have to say is at times, the only thing to keep you going.
Perhaps you should find out why Canadians are being so discriminated against these days. Why… there’s the Sky thing, the fact that none of the products being reviewed at FMB seem to want a review from a Canadian… and then there’s that whole Obama thing where he didn’t give a gift to Harper but at least gave Brown some lousy movies (that won’t play).
I tell you, it’s rather upsetting me. Discrimination hurts you know.
You should thank your lucky stars that you’re Canadian. Wide open spaces, a real contrast between summer and winter, a long way away from me, Mounties, beavers in abundance, lakes, mountains, an economy that seems to be weathering the storm, Mike Myers, PAMELA ANDERSON! ….. the list is endless …..
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL!!!!!!!!!
What’s a beaver smell like, Fracas? :giggle snort:
Naughty boy ……. *smirk*
Why does that question make him a naughty boy?
Being from Florida, I’m sure the only smell he knows about is that of some old reptiles. I’d really love to be of assistance to him, but I’m afraid I’m a city gal. Perhaps you, as a man-of-the-world with your vast, James Bond-like knowledge of
flim-flamlife, might have some (pre-TG) experiences from your younger years to draw on and could help him out?I think he really wants to know.
I would answer that for you John, except that it’s not in my nature to go around smelling beavers.
I’m a city girl you know… geez, don’t you pay attention to anything I say?
I’s hardly think Myers is a fair comparison to Anderson… but then there was that freaky nipple thing, so maybe..
Exactly ……. cleavages can reveal a lot about a person …….
Perhaps young gitwizard needs to look at a wordpress blog – for beginners and wonderfully adept bloggers alike. An intuitive and accessible platform with wonderful volunteers in the forum who can help with just about anything. Wordpress is the way to go.

Many thanks for the advice Archie, try NoSpacesNoSpecials my new website, i’ve got a lot to learn.
Listen to Archie – he’s much cleverer than me. I’ve only ever done what I’ve been told by Penfold ……
That’s because I’m older – - -
….. and as young, if not younger, at the same time ……. which is very encouraging ……
None of us can understand it, Fracas. Rumours are it’s a Murdoch buy-off, when you get so globally popular….you must have had offers ?
I don’t understand it either …… mind you, the objections are making it well worth while – tee hee
