This blog applies a “no d*ckhead” commenting policy. Vigorous debate is encouraged. People attacking each other personally isn’t. If you’re just making the place unpleasant, expect to find such comments summarily deleted. Or not – I reserve the right to apply the policy inconsistently. If you have an issue with a moderation decision – EMAIL ME. Do NOT bring it up on the comment thread in question. Also By Me Were By Me : Political/Personal Blogs (Wah) (Mikey) and (Darryl Mason) (Keri James) (Jobe) Non-Political Blogs Recommended Podcasts Bizarrely enough, there are a few sad morons out there on the intertubes pretending to be me – commenting on other blogs as “MrLefty” or “Jeremy Sear” (using the same image of Blackadder), copying my posts into new blogs ( ) but slightly changing the text to invert its meaning, and generally being obnoxious in an attempt to sully my good name (or pseudonym). So if you see something purporting to be from me that seems to be completely opposite to what I argue here (for example, if I suddenly start suggesting we need tax cuts and more religion in government and I’m not being sarcastic) – then it’s not me . It’s one of the trolls. Please delete the spiteful hack’s drivel. The contents of this blog are entirely fictional (and often ridiculous), intended only to amuse, or to provoke lively, non-libellous discussion. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental, even if they have the same names and are exactly alike in every respect except for a potentially defamatory one. Posts are written in character, not as Jeremy Sear (even the ones suspiciously marked “Jeremy”). Opinions expressed on the blog do not in any binding sense represent the views of any organisation of which the author is a member, or the views of the author himself, even when he says that they do (it’ll be in character , you see?). Links to external sites should not be taken as endorsement of their content or views. The fact that this site is written in English is not intended to be construed as an insult to other world languages, all of which the author respects greatly, even the stupid ones that are bound to die out within a generation. Or this one by Tin Pan Orange: Should this have been in the ? I say yes. Stupid young Australians with their different musical tastes to mine. Well, number one had better be Bloom or I am officially an old out-of-touch person who deserves to start having aching joints. No, don’t stuff around with Crowded House. The Funns are still alive!
