Good Lord, Is That The Time?

I know I've been absent for some time now. Four months or something. And unlike some of my blogging contemporaries who drop out from time to time, I can't claim a new love-interest as the reason I haven't got around to putting anything up here lately. So I'll put it down to a combination of work; cricket; family; my 50th birthday extravaganza (I'll post about this just as soon as I get the photos back from the chemist shop - hokey nostalgia alert!) and indolence.

I still have about twelve posts in draft form almost raring to go but haven't got around to doing anything with them. And would you believe they are some of the most gripping; side-splitting; witty; prescient; and incisive blog posts you're ever likely to read? I didn't think so.

So talk amongst yourselves. Relax. I'll be with you in a jiffy.

The Lad has not been Littering, but we await, patiently and certain it is worthwhile to do so. Bring on the filed flotsam.

Ms Smack said...

Real life is the best reason to not blog, you know that,right?

Have a great Christmas!

Happy Christmas.

Happy belated birthday!

We seem to be operating on the same blogging (or should that be non-blogging?) schedule. Hooray for slackers like us!

SCW:
Thanks. Photos will be on FB sometime in the next week. Happy New Year!

AOD:
Thanks for sticking with me. I'll try not to disappoint.

MS:
All the best to you. Has the cool change hit Adelaide yet?

MD:
Yes, blogger's block has hit pretty hard. My NY resolution is to blog. Shouldn't be too hard.

Well, of COURSE, I believe that your posts-under-construction are "the most gripping, side-splitting, witty, prescient, and incisive blog posts" I'll ever read. So get a move on, lad! Your jiffy's up!

over at Marshall Stacks I have republished the post from last year which was sub-judice at the time.

PLEASE everybody visit and comment, follow links and spread the word that the verdict is absolutely wrong.

The melody of
Kookaburra Sits On The Old Gum Tree
was taken from an old traditional Welsh folksong by the Marion Sinclair that Festival is claiming to own.
I am incensed by this rubbish from Festival records and the incompetent legal misrepresentatives of the composers charged.

I'm glad you're back! I must confess that I hadn't checked for a while because I thought you'd given up. :-)

Legal E above, could have done a better job for Hay v The laughing Jackasses I mentioned above. yesterdays verdict, I believe, has opened up a Precedent, for every composer whose work has featured in a (previously free-use of only 2-bars) commercial advertisement, to now come back at the agencies for broadcast royalties.
Perhaps Mr Litter could post on this when he gets those snaps back from that chemist?
I started my day at 7am chasing away a bold fox from circling the chickens, so I'm a bit snippy.
