🐘 the elephants song. You know. Hyrdogen and Helium... all really fast.

rathergood.com was one of the first funniest and a personal favouritest thing ever on the internet. Now, sadly, we have to trudge to YouTube.

That would be a terrible thing to do. To Rebecca.

And I can say the same about you. And your presence here too.

Deeply touched. Means a lot coming from you, Nick.

Not at all.

Realised early that following many was tricky, so it is one of several services I like to provide. All for free.

Copies signed by me devalue it. But I'm still happy to do that for my nearest and dearest, which includes you both.

Also, that was a very nice thing to say about the funny stuff - thank you. Even though 99% of it doesn't require me.

Fanx.

Yep. My editor hat got shredded. I was fried last night.
But a lorra laughs doing it too. But but, there's aaaa lot more of that still ahead, so I'll be disappearing from here off and on for the next few months.

Our online lives are but archive files of folded forever brands.

Pump up the volume and sing along.
Yes, even Central African Republic. Just about.

Also, the Elements song needs updating.
Elephants?

Have been invited to edit the 20 year celebratory book for the satirical news publisher I work with.

Utterly honoured and chuffed to do it. Immense job though - spent the last couple of days getting ahead of it so we're in a good spot. Lots of laughs and great memories already.

The fruit fly appears to have survived. I don't know what's going on today.

A fruit fly has just flown straight down my line of vision somehow past my specs into my eye. This is my reaction...

My plans for today? Same as always; drink coffee and be sexy.

And probably the funniest out of context post of the day

Not even my 10ft one.

Have suggested a couple of responses other than just accept their preset terms:

1. Only agree if they fully and adequately responded to all your press enquiries beforehand.

2. Change the rotten gang-up Spectator arena they've set you up for.

3. Do what Karen Hao would do.

A couple of possible plays?

1. Only agree if they fully and adequately responded to all your press enquiries beforehand.

2. Change the rotten gang-up Spectator arena they've set you up for.

3. Do what Karen Hao would do.

Smells like a stinky trap, Carole. And for what meaningful gain? Those seduced by the $trillions sloshing around the AI industry would sooner flog off their firstborn than be converted.

I say dodge swifter than a dodgy jammie dodger in a dodgeball dodge-off.
