  1. Nxxx just referred to himself in the “third person,” and Ace Deuce is thinking it’s the newest hip thing to do, so you’d better get used to him doing it too.

  2. I get it. You are trying to make me trigger the leaps. Unless Del makes me a critter that makes the leaps safe, I aint playing.

  3. I believe I saw BroMu tossed off the Queen’s Barge the other day, and Nxxx may be seen in a morris dance at Westminster Hall later today, if there is sufficient interest.

  4. I got caught short, alas (no privies on the barge, gold-plated or otherwise), and didn’t think it wise to have a tinkle over the side with the world’s press watching. I therefore had a sneaky siphon into Philip’s half-finished bottle of whisky. I’m sure no harm will come of it, but security then caught me ‘tadger out’ and took exception, hence the man-overboard.

    Nxxx spent months on that costume, you know.

    PS: See how restrained I was in fielding your suggestion that I was ‘tossed off’? That’s because we’re pretending to be all classy over here currently out of respect for Lizzie.

  5. From my incomplete and somewhat lackadaisical understanding of British slang, it’s better being “tossed off” than to be a “tosser.”

  6. Westminster Hall?

    Costume ruined by Charlie the wunth’s bloodstains.

    Following the King’s example, we stopped work immediately.

  7. I think the one you’re writing is the best of the bunch so far. And I think we should play it on crumhorns, sackbuts and rackets.

  8. I go away for a week to watch Tropical Storm Debby be conceived (unintentional, I swear), and nothing happens here. I’m not surprised. Sad.

  9. Ever since Seinfeld, people have been saying that nothing is the new something, but I’m not buying it because it’s not palpable. Give me something I can palp or tange and we’re in business.

  10. Loads has happened here, Steve. It’s just in invisible ink. That you can only see if you’re very, very stupid.

    No, hang on…

  11. They’re going off a little prematurely around my house. Some kids need self-control. Maybe they need to see their doctor.

    Happy 4th to the other Americans. Happy Tour de France to our friends across the pond.

  12. Thanks for the good wishes, chaps. Hope you enjoyed that Diamond Jubilee — heard it was a good one.

  13. Would someone please clarify the difference between “wiggle” and “wriggle?” A key plot point revolves around the difference, and I don’t want to use the wrong word or it will ruin everything, like when I used “abaft” instead of “astern,” and “debark” instead of “disembark” or “get off the freaking boat.” Thank you.

  14. According to Douglas Adams, a favoured pastime in the higher dimensions is Brockian Ultra-Cricket, a team sport that involves people beating each other with sporting equipment, then apologising from a safe distance. Like real cricket, the rules of the game are massively convoluted, leading to a perpetual state of war between the players over their interpretation.

  15. The major arguments in cricket are, shall we wear whites or those funny coloured things and who and with what emphasis shall we sledge today.

  16. That’s why I always used to take two. Clearly differentiated in enormous felt pen.

    Obviously the pen had to be enormous, what with…

  17. It’s happened again. Everytime we venture into cricket-land, I become lost in the references and terms that I can’t parse. It’s like Jabberwocky, but with shorter words and no rhyme. Do I need to trot out 43-Man Squamish in retaliation?

  18. Ace,
    You are an expert on 43-Man Squamish? Great! I know a little bit about the lesser 22-Man and a dog version but 43-Man. Wow!

    Are you trying to get it into the next Olympics?

  19. Before the game has a chance at being an Olympic team sport, I think it would be necessary for more than one country to be able to field a team. In fact a minimum of four countries would have to contend: 1. Gold, 2. Silver, 3. Bronze, 4. Total Loser. So far, I think only Canada has what it takes to produce a great 43-Man Squamish team. So there is a lot of work to be done, by someone more industrious than I.

  20. Surely you are developing an OSX and IOS game and Del could create a critter for the 22-Man and a dog version.

    Our problem is, if we had a 43-Man team, they would be conscripted as replacement for one of the missing G4S security teams.

  21. Cousins, there is a guy over here called Mitt Romney, who claims he is one of your team.

    In which Olympic event is he competing, please?

  22. Foot-in-Mouth?

    Arse-for-Brain?

    I’m-a-massive-cock-monkey-with-the-common-touch-of-Marie-Antoinette?

    Just throwing out ideas here. I know they don’t even sound like real events, but it’s late…
