From the safe surroundings of my Devon estate I poke fun at stuff whilst adding absolutely nothing to this world other than a smug sense of self-amusement.

Warning
Just as a warning, I'm getting bored with the brown-ness of this blog and am going to start playing around with the general look of See You in 2... In the meantime, please do not adjust your computer monitor.
Excellent news. You finally figured out that shit-brown is unappealing...
I love the drawn Gary pic, btw. Who did that? And how can I upload a photo like that (which folklows my comments around) - did you have to download Blogbot, or whatever it is?
I did the picture myself. Although I'd like to lie and say that it was a freehand sketch, it is more of a trace. I got a black & white photo of myself and then using a paint program I blacked in all the dark areas.
As for uploading it, I created a post in my blog that I put the picture into. I then went to the HTML and copied the source of the picture (i.e. in the html for the post it will be something like http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5473/370/400/MyPic.jpg). The post is currently saved as a draft.
I then copied the whole of the picture source and pasted it into the part of the Edit Details page where it asks you for a Picture URL. If blogger doesn't like your picture it'll probably be because it is too large. Just shrink it and upload it again.
Hope this is helpful - just ask if you want anymore info.
What?!! It's always the same: bloody hidden fees. Where is the small print, huh? I'm a law student you know...this will never stand up in court. Just try it, Parsons!!!
Have changed from Stratos to Galvatron - it seems more appropriate.
Look, you know as well as I do that hired goons charge at least £14.65 per hour, per goon. It's simply not an economically viable threat. Even if they take me down (which is in itself unlikely), then you'll still be losing out. So we both know you ain't gonna do that. Take my advice and shut your face, before you get yourself in trouble...
How's the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album, by the way? Worth me investing in?
Well I'm really enjoying it - I've only had it a day mind. If you have what you've heard, I don't think you will be disappointed.
FYI. I've got my goons on a two-month, no-commitment free trial. Plus, for some reason, it isn't that hard to find people willing to, er, have a chat with lawyers.
First, I want to ask: is that with GoonsRUs, www.thugsforhire.com, Tesco (they do everything nowadays) or Exeter Quay after dark? Just cause if I survive the hit you're sending out on me, I myself need to have somebody at Oxford University Press, er, 'sorted'.
Second, I'm a legal academic, not a lawyer, damn you (I know, I know, the sort of distinction only a lawyer would make...).
Well I'm an illegal academic, writing articles and giving lectures on the run.
In fact my goons are students - it's one of the courses Exeter offers since we decided that we don't do science. I wouldn't worry, they haven't done GN201 yet, Painful and Needless Beatings, let alone GN302, Adminstering Long and Lingering Deaths. You'll most probably get away with a brick through the window and the severing of a couple of you hulk's toes, returned to you by second class mail.

ok, just seeing if my pic appears here...
It does. Thanks for that!
Congratulations. My consultancy cost is the ridiculously reasonable £11.56 /hour or tip. A cheque's good, but if you do paypal, that's even better.

My hired goons will show you the small print - it's written on one of their baseball bats.
I'm really starting to show my mean side this week...

There should be a "liked" somewhere in that second sentence.
