Comments on Samizdata HQ is still seeing action

Well, I'm glad someone is seeing some action.

Beats watching television I guess.

Glad to see you guys are back in party mode! I was getting concerned that NuLab and NuLabLite (Tories) had issued you all with ASBOs to prevent any of your famous gatherings of the blognacenti :-D

So is Elena single? Oh drat, just remembered I'm not.

Cripes, Jackie, are you really tall, or is Elena really short? It looks like there's nearly a foot between you in that picture.

So is Elena single? Oh drat, just remembered I'm not.

I am. I'm also unemployed, skint, and in Glasgow. Double drat.

Now watch it you lot, I got first dibs here.

I declared my desire to nurture and protect Elena some years ago, shortly after I first encountered this.

These days sadly unmaintained.

Sam, I am 6' tall. Elena is perfectly sized, and was wearing heels in that photo (I was not)!

Sam Duncan- don't let the bastards grind you down.

Do not worry Sam - as Glascow has the lowest life expectancy in Western Europe, you may not have much longer to suffer.

My position is similar (I would hardly call being a councillor or £4000 a year a job), but at least I manage to con people from time to time. For example, yesterday I managed to convince someone that they wanted to go to Uppingham (a town near here that I had not had a good look at).

Out of the kindess of my heart I offered to come with them (which was the point of convincing them that they wanted to go, of course). It was an interesting little town.

I am sure you could do similar things. Unless you have a moral problem with them (I am a bit old for morality).

As for the party - I hope a good time was had by all, and I wish Adriana Happy Birthday.

Paul.
