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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
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. 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.
