On Summer Noelle this morning, Myers claimed responsibility for Gnarls Barkley. Perhaps this is his service to the community.
All together now: "I am the man, the very fat man, who waters the workers' beer."

Suicide Bummer was a headline waiting for a story; at last it can be told.
Methinks the problem with the social media is that something which was the preserve of a few smarts is now open to everybody, leaving People Like Us with nothing to feel more clever than the rabble.

Russell, thank you.

Overall I was very pleased, although it encourages me to be more forceful in promoting my legislation against people who think they can do a Scottish accent.
Well, yes; on the other hand, a real Glaswegian accent would have impenetrable to all but a few.

Incidentally, does anyone know how to actually pronounce "tousled?" It's one of those ones I only ever see written down but never hear.
It's sort of like "trouser."
I would tell the hilarious story about my mis-pronunciation of "Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite," but you would all think me a pretentious git, if you do not think so already.

I read The Good Soldier a few weeks back. It takes place in the nine years before the Great War, and has very little to do with soldiering. Mostly, it is about adultery.
It is a great novel, and all in the author's own words.
