Unaccustomed As I Am


I copy a link on the Jonathon Ross post and, as he has no website, forward it to his reps in the shape of a company that manages public speakers; and whilst there I casually wonder about applying myself to become one such.

Life is short when you're my age and whilst I would like to read your favourite posts at intimate venues in Cockermouth or Cockfosters, I've not the time nor inclination.

Accordingly to those of you who'd love to listen to me live, go fuck yourselves.

Ed. Well that was a good start, wasn't it? We did feature the Kraken in a recent post on Ulysses and as octopi the monsters are technically molluscs, which reproduce on their own. If you meet a Kraken, which is unlikely in Skelmersdale, in their world 'Go fuck yourself' is a compliment and wholly acceptable at cocktail parties. And our thanks to David Attenborough for that factoid.
