Ten reasons to put rum in your cocoa

Posted by Reed on October 31st, 2007

All Hallows Eve. The surrounding streets were full of tiny vampires as I walked home, being shepherded to each-other’s houses.

First, apologies to all the people who posted comments and who then wondered why their comments never appeared. Akismet ate them. I have beaten Akismet with a stick and it has regurgitated at least one. Sorry, Ed.
Second, apologies to anyone who was wondering where I’d got to. I was off being educated, of course. And […]
