That rather bizarre bulk e-mail you sent out seems to have done the trick judging by the sudden rash of comments from guilt stricken 'fans'. Like me they had forgotten you and felt obliged to respond to it's rather desperate 'Notice me' smell, by posting insipid comments, aimed at reassuring your fragile ego. Let me add my reassurance - you're great, we all love you and the only reason we don't look at the web page is that we feel unworthy of laying our philistine, uncultured eyes on your genius. So enough with the spamming eh?
Am I the only loser to read this guff? I'm obviously the only one who can be bothered to comment. My lack of a life, (befitting any normal description of the term), is highlighted by the fact I seem to do nothing but monitor this site and offer constructive comment whenever I feel it warranted. Whatever.
For reasons I can't quite grasp, my incontinence has all but disappeared since this blog started (bar the one unfortunate episode in PC World) and for that if nothing else, I thank you.
Normal service will be resumed after this posting.
In the meantime - goodbye and good luck my friend. Keep in regular touch. As you know, despite my acerbic carpings, I always wish you well. Whatever happens, we'll always have Aberdeen. Don't forget the garibaldis.
I do beg your pardon Mango. I don?t even remember ?jerking you around?. To be honest I am unsure as to what the term means, but I sense it not to be a good thing (is it an Americanism?) and I apologise for any insult caused.
As to who I am? Well only Derek knows my true identity. He?s like Alfred is to Batman, only he (Derek) is a rubbish Butler (Blakey hates him). Wild horses wouldn?t drag my identity from him. Try a pint of lager
I got side tracked Derek........filled out my profile sort of.........well actually I got shy so didn't fill out much..............I like the one by the bay painting.......oh crap now I am here and can't see the titles..........Hey who was that jerking me around last time that Leonard Cohen's Granddad guy? And why?
Anyway you are doing better and better work all the time..........
