* Hello, Mum!
† Hello, Debbi! Oh, I’ve got two ten questions sets on the 11th and 12th of June.
Q10) lighthouses Thanks, Paul. I wonder if you'll ever have time to revisit all those films you are recording, but I hope you do. My mother keeps having "moments" (the other day she was convinced she's seen a person who features on the news here quite often, not in very positive circumstances, downstairs sitting outside of our building, and that is pretty unlikely (as I'm sure the press would follow her, and I don't think the courts would be happy with her wandering around), and she fell in the early hours of Saturday, and hurt her head. Blood everywhere... Thankully it wasn't anything serious, and I even manage to go and participate on a live radio programme, but these collaborations are getting rarer. I hope everything goes well for you and I will keep visiting when I have a chance. Take care!
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.
