    What an excellent ‘toon (Senior Hubrist…snerk with anchovies), and the dogonaughts are now pouring through the breech in the server and slaying themin the aisles. Cry Havoc and let slip, etc…!

    Pedro the fisherman was always whistling. In the flatus? It goes deeper that that? In the dark? Was it his own? Did he crawl up others? What might he have been? It would have been something. Searching critique. And Firsty … drawing platypodes on podiums. You’re a gem of a dog.

    Heck he only comes fourth at being a Costello, behind Tim, Elvis and Lou.

    Zut et al, my explanation – if you can call it that – for WordPress weirdness is sitting in the mod queue because I have web links. There’s a lot of sh1t going down with WordPress over changes to comment rules.

    More info over at 3w dot pigsarms dot com dot au

    Damn you EMC.
    Here I am on St Paddy’s day, cruising through the comments and….Kersplash!
    Read yours and…..there’s Guinness all over the keyboard.

    Mike, I appreciate your response and info on strange happenings at WordPress – which reinforces my earlier observation that this never happened when K Rudd was foreign minister. I don’t have a WordPress account because I welched on customising my avatar.

    Dogonauts, are you, as usual, receiving notifications of posts on this thread via emails? Or, like me, is it necessary to click onto ‘comments’ at First Dog’s ‘toon and download the whole thread for updates? Someone?….anyone….?

    No Zut, we don’t seem to be getting notifications now.
    But then you won’t know I told you.
    Unless you’re back here.
    Hello there.

    Greetings, EMC, and thanks for the insight. It’s a relief to still be part of the main iceberg and not a solo chunk cast adrift in the unfathomable IT flow.

    Doggonauts, I’ve thought about this. When I played an imposter Frenchwoman in a drama festival (I’ve remembered) I was la laurĂ©ate d’un prix. Sometimes you can get lucky. Bad acting. It came back to me last night in the sleepless hours wondering (would I be shut out of the Lounge again) … pourquoi. Poor Monsieur Costello.

    Runner up for the position as headmaster at an exclusive private school?

    I miss the days when I used to walk past Pete’s office. It was there that I encountered a lone Labor supporter who expressed his anti-Costello feelings-usually prior to an election-with a small but colourful sandwich board at his side. Big Pete didn’t take kindly to this overworked underdog. The Gestapo pounced one day and my hero was no more. Sob!
