Here’s a thought …
“I got locked out of our new house a few days ago without any shoes on and ended up bloodying and scraping the bottom of my feet. I kind of scaled a wall thinking I was still a 22-year-old superhero.”
The quizmaster’s decisions about scores are final.
Thank you for coming: have a good day.
* Hello, Mum!
† He’s at that sort of age, Debbi! He’s taller than I am! Oh, Trevor left you a footnote, yesterday: he’s suggesting that The Canterbury Tales are a good read.
‡ What on Earth saw 1984 and The Invisible Man banned, Trevor? Oh, hang on, 1984’s pro-communist … ! I know Flowers for Algernon gets challenged, a lot. Which is a shame: it’s gorgeous.
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable: as are Bluesky or Mastodon links. I also like seeing folks webpages.

Wait! 1984 is pro-Communist? Are you having a laugh? :)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was anti-dictatorial. Or anti-something-bad! :)
I vaguely recall The Canterbury Tales. Should probably re-read them at some point.
