I hereby cease all hostilities against my friend Dave Walker. Long may he enjoy wearing cardboard boxesas Fine Millinery.

Well done Maddie, I believe you’ve been vindicated:
a few yes votes for Maddie.

What follows may shock and upset readers. If you are of a sensitive disposition you may want to look away now.

Just yesterday in conversation with a certain “Dave Walker” one mentioned the act of rummaging through cereal boxes and the thought occured that perhaps the blame had been pinned on Maddie_C. When this reporter confronted Mr Walker of Cookham his surprisingly frank response was “Yes, that was mean wasn’t it-especially as I told her to do it for the photo…”. What followed was “Oh no, I said that out loud!”

Suspicious? I think so. Let us stand up for the civil liberties of our brothers and sisters of Wibblethorpe. Let us no longer take such nefarious actions (simply for the sake of a “good entry”) lying down.

If you support Maddie_C’s rights (and the rights of all Wibblers everywhere) then place this banner on your log today.

J.D., Scrubs

I was going to post one of those results of (yet another) internet test. Only this time it was “Horrible Afflictions” and I’m far too embarrassed to link what I turned out to be. Guesses welcome, though…

Ha! Fooled you…I haven’t really updated at all*.

Apparently it’s been around for a while but thissong is creating a bit of a stir and I thought it worthy of mention. It’s being re-released on here

Some opening paragraphs from articles in the Times today:

IT IS the ultimate hiding place for that unwanted gift you never want to see again: at a starting price of just £3.25 million, an American company is offering to dump it on the Moon.

A REVISIONIST film seeking to expose the myths of the Alamo has been attacked by conservatives in the United States as an affront to patriotism.

Some comments from said articles:

Gregory Nemitz, the company's president, said he was confident that an interested party keen to make his mark on the Moon would come aboard soon. “The MoonCrash Project would probably be attractive to some bored rich guy who is tired of playing with his radio-controlled model airplanes and wants to move up to the next level,” he said.

“No one really knows the truth about what happened at the Alamo because there are so few sources,” he said, “but we need it as a symbol, right or wrong. We need a symbol of blood sacrifice to inspire our soldiers. No single movie can destroy this in the long run.” T.H. Fehrenbach, the Texan historian and author of Lone Star

Dearie dearie me. What an interesting planet we live on. Sorry, make that: What a dull side of the Atlantic we live on.
