Me: blog about the hhgg film!! sigh.

Chris: crikey, lass. mind if I wait until after I've seen it?

p.s. possibly going to a party tomorrow...I think renowned hhgg-movie-curmudgeon mj simpson will be there (he was at the last one, though I didn't know who he was) so send questions that I can bottle out of actually asking him.

p.p.s. I might print out and bind a copy of his hyper-critical review
and ask him to sign it. it's arguably the most famous thing he's written
to date and I'm pretty sure it would be the only one in the world.
actually maybe I should get him to sign two of them.

p.p.p.s. he might not be there and I might not even go, so as in life,
disappointment may be assumed.

Alistair: Was ****** your editor at *** *****?? There's an incomprehensible quote from her in the Guardian. She's dissing Rolf Harris. I think...

Me: Yeah, that's her. She's a giant bitter jealous illiterate hefferlump.


Peter: I keep getting emails asking for money to build a large triangular object. I was going to send money but I realised it's a pyramid scheme.
