Blogging is light at the moment owing to a number of factors. Apologies to both my readers but I seem to be stuck with it. Apologies also to commenters whose stuff may be delayed in appearing. More of this anon.

Excuses, excuses

Blogging will be light today as I have had brought somewhat disagreeably to my attention another reason why sitting in front of the computer is bad for me.
In the hope of avoiding surgical satire (“Do you have a frequent flyer’s card, Sir?” “You bend ‘em, we mend ‘em.”) I am going to minimise this sort [...]
Cock-up

Overwhelmed by mere vanity, I forgot the link. Obliged to Counting Cats in Zanzibar. Also I cocked up the source: it was ill and ancient (now added to things).
I am late. More, perhaps, even later.

Blogging will be off for a while owing to the usual things. Were it to be owing to something unusual, I should doubtless say so.
Back later, maybe

Owing to family commitments there will be a marked lack of blogging for a while. More, if all goes well, later in the week. Unless, of course, by then, blogging has been banned. Apparently the MSM are running some kind of campaign.
Mark weapon effects…
Bunking off again

Having spent the morning at the dentist’s, having a tooth out, I have been forbidden all forms of sustenance, particularly smoking, until further notice.
Accordingly, rather than sit around the house contemplating such things as my lunch and my baccy-tin, I am just going outside, and may be some time.
Blogging will, if any happens at all, [...]
Size matters

Having got all four blood-pressure lights to flash on the instrument panel I am taking the rest of the day off, in the hope that it might involve something more satisfactory to the soul than the continued contemplation of our country’s descent into national socialism, such as a preserved steam-engine.
Having been a member of the [...]
The NHS still sucks

Having spent some time satisfying myself experimentally that I am not in a fit state to operate a pocket calculator I would expect that blogging today will be light; if, indeed, etc., etc.
Once again I express my determination that this blog will not turn into one of those wretched, self-indulgent and essentially boring blogs in [...]
A credible deterrent posture
Posted in Admin, tagged day off on 30 March, 2009 | 7 Comments »
It is a very nice day and there is nothing harrumphable in the Telegraph again; also I am, despite the earliness of the hour, starting to get the usual eyeball-collimating problem. Usually this gets better with the weather but since the condition is progressive its mark-space ratio steadily changes for the worse.
Accordingly, before this develops [...]

Apologies for my absence, which was due to family commitments and some medical stuff. Incidentally, the NHS still sucks and I am now looking at another month of pain and pills because, as far as I can establish from the evidence, of the blissful incompetence, or possibly congenital illiteracy, of a dental receptionist. I also [...]
