The pond is down and out

Like Malware's copper-clad NBN, the pond has had a catastrophic failure, has been forced to step out of the tent, and may be gone some considerable time.

Fortunately, thanks to New Zealanders and the Donald, chaos and loonery will continue elsewhere.

Enjoy.

And the pond will return in due course...

  3. We'll sorely miss you. Whatever it is, I hope it works out well for you. All sarcasm aside, your blog is one of the best things on the internet. I read it every day and rejoice.

  4. Hope all turns out well & you will be back soon. It's nice to be guided through the idiocy in the commentariat with a bit of humour.

  5. Polonius, Bromancer, Oreo, "Ned", Malware, Dame Slap, Onion Muncher have all become part of my life and I'd hate to lose them. "chaos and loonery will continue" indeed, but without your lucid commentary, it isn't the same. I wish you well

  7. Such dire news Dot. Here's hoping you return refreshed and rejuvenated.

    I must confess it's a wonder you've been able to keep up the pace given the fetid nature of the habitat you've been frequenting.

    All the very best.

  8. So sorry to hear you may be unwell, DP, and wish you a good recovery.

    The only upside is that it gives me a chance to catch up with your posts. My own issues have put me behind in your must-read posts. So I have a chance to catch up.

    Look forward both to the catch-up and your return. You are right. Peak lunacy is set to continue.

  9. All the best for a FTTP-quality recovery, Dorothy, and a refreshing break from the reptilia. But how will Dante navigate the Inferno without Virgil? We're still only on the 5th Circle, listening to various arm-breakers and wall-punchers:

    'Fixed in the slime they say "Sullen were we
    In the sweet air that in the Sun rejoices,
    Filled as we were with bitter fumes
    And sullen we are, in the black mire."
    This litany they gargle in their throats
    For they cannot get a word out whole.'

    So much loonacy still to go...
