“You might think about installing a script to close comments after a preset interval, perhaps even rename the comments script itself - should slow the buggers down.”

“Are we there yet, dad? Can I have an ice cream, dad? Will you reinstate your hit counter, dad?”

I do know this, but I haven’t imported all my old posts yet. After that I’ll install my old comment-closing code. Will you people just chill out for a few days while I move in?

Is that the Hormel Foods klaxon I hear Damian?

We eat ham and jam and spam a lot - suppose the jam goes nicely with the creampies surprise.

A piece of artwork I’d love to see.
Right here is the ‘interview with the artist’. [Drink Warning for the pro-war set] Via Tim Worstall, who just got added to the New Guys for some reason or other.

“And Dave, of course, is on the side of the guys with the knives and videocameras and Al Jazeera rolodexes.”

No I’m not.

“Sorry. Couldn’t help that”

Yes you could. If a couple of simple conditions were met, that is.

Sorry. Couldn’t help that. (Aircraft carriers are cool, btw).

Just discovered your blog and like it much. Aren’t Harrylanches (and WindsofChangelanches) great?

Why not get yourself a publisher, PG? IÂ´d pay for entertaining education that didnÂ´t belittle me (just other people).

Bravo. Satire is the most effective weapon against the small-minded tyranny of left wingers and idiots like Mr. Dave Heasman (above), who is obviously under the impression that you can call upon an American baby-killing aircraft carrier in your dispute with your neighbours. Intellectual twits abound.

” I think it would be terrible if my artistic voice—which some consider to be a dissenting one—were crushed by narrow-mindedness and suspicion.”

Since your position is shared by the US and British governments, who have access to a great deal of military hardware to enforce their positions, there wouldn’t seem to be much chance of that, would there? You’re not a victim. You’re on the side of the guys with the H bombs and the aircraft carriers.

I think this is a good moment for some calm, non-triumphalist, nuanced comment.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
I hope you’ll be gracing the Web with a photo of the finished works.

I can’t believe you sit in front of your computer writing these long, made-up and (sometimes) boring scripts. I love you and sometimes I get worried. Maybe you should get a TV after all……

…”you were heard in this very street singing a selection of songs by Jerome Kern, punctuated by cries of “Why didn’t you just vote for Ba’athists, you prissy, selfish Lib Dem bastards?!”…

Good lad PooterGeek. Or can I call you Damian?. It needed to be said. And you said it very well.
