*        Hello, Mum!

        I’ve just read it, Olga … it’s remarkably pithy, isn’t it?   :D
        At any rate … ?   I think it’s not a waiting game!

        Oh, cheers, Debbi!   I just clocked the comments on Jude’s latest video!   (I’ll try and poke him to say thank you, but you know what kids are like!)

    I hope it goes well with your nephew this morning. I don't know if you've heard all the hullabaloo about Roberto Sancho's son. You'll remember him from El Ministerio del Tiempo (the first series, and he made an appearance in the second). Roberto's father was also a well known actor, especially TV series, but the son got himself into a lot of trouble in Thailand. It sounds like the plot of a movie or a crime novel. What a mess!

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.
