Well…I don’t really hate this blog. As I’ve said several times, it is in fact my pride and joy – or, at least, what has gone before has made up what I call my pride and joy. I don’t feel very proud or very joyful at the minute, though it’s not the blog’s fault, obviously; [...]
And so it came to pass that yet another Clinton Cards-induced festival of rampant commercialism took place in the Year of our Lord 2010. What a pile of utter wank. On the other hand, what an opportune time to note that… Or, rather, he was a fucking wanker, as he met his (rather regrettably late) [...]
I should turn this into a series of posts. It’s becoming something of a recurring theme, my own little comedy of errors if you will. It frustrates me endlessly, of course, but if you dig a little deeper there is something pathetically amusing about the whole sorry business, in a sort of wry, dark kind [...]

Let’s deal with these chronolgically and, coincidentally, in order of bad to good.
