Post Of The Week
I was awarded Post Of The Week here for this, which was very flattering. I wasn’t going to get time to write today, but if early forecasts are correct (”a light flurry of new readers with a dusting of comments perhaps later”), I thought I’d say hello.
If you’re an old reader, then hello too yourself, you old fucking horse thief, you - I’m just kidding.
New or old, there is a book out this week which captures the internet’s spirit of intimacy, honesty and hope, with proceeds going to War Child.
War Child works with children affected by war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. They work with children who have been hit hardest by the joint forces of poverty, conflict and social exclusion and their groundbreaking work with former child soldiers, street children and children in prison has supported and helped thousands who would otherwise not have been able to reintegrate with their community, gain access to education or enjoy sustainable livelihood support.

You know, when you said ‘Post of the WEek’, I didn’t think you meant it literally

I see what you did there, Ed - funny. I think we’ll just have to amuse ourselves here.
Did you hear about the scarecrow who won a nobel prize?
He was outstanding in his field.

If Cliff doesn’t post soon I will have no choice but to deploy the Napoleon joke.
