Tell those friends with cameras for eyes

I have been spending a little too much time over at I can has cheezburger lately. You’ll understand later why I brought that up.

You may have noticed the increasingly sporadic nature of posting around here, and possibly a general deterioration in quality (just for those who were wondering if such a development were possible).

There are a few reasons. One is that I have been spending a lot of time reading sentences like this:

“For the purposes of the preceding provisions of this section but without limiting the generality of those provisions, a provision of a contract, arrangement or understanding, or of a proposed contract, arrangement or understanding, shall be deemed to have the purpose, or to have or to be likely to have the effect, of fixing, controlling or maintaining, or providing for the fixing, controlling or maintaining of, the price for, or a discount, allowance, rebate or credit in relation to, goods or services supplied as mentioned in subsection (1) if the provision has the purpose, or has or is likely to have the effect, of fixing, controlling or maintaining, or providing for the fixing, controlling or maintaining of, such a price, discount, allowance, rebate or credit in relation to a re‑supply of the goods or services by persons to whom the goods or services are or would be supplied by the parties to the contract, arrangement or understanding or the proposed parties to the proposed contract, arrangement or understanding, or by any of them, or by any bodies corporate that are related to any of them.”

This leaves me too tired, and indeed to irritated that my tax dollars paid for someone to write that, to form a coherent sentence, let alone a halfway interesting post.

I have also stupidly decided to add a few exams to my already reasonably busy schedule, meaning there’s no realistic prospect that I will write anything worth reading for several weeks. Anyone who wants to comment that that just sounds like business as usual, should feel free to do so.

So, my friends, it is hiatus time. Assuming I still have anything to say, I’ll be back some time in September.

This is as good a time as any to note that I don’t spend nearly enough time appreciating the wonderful people who read and comment on this blog. The comments are almost invariably more intelligent and funnier than the actual posts, and it’s some comfort to know that whilst this blog will never make me famous or convince the world that I’m a great writer, it will make me just a little bit cooler by association with the highly talented folks who comment on it.

So, to everyone who has ever taken the time to comment here, let me just say you are all wonderful, and, furthermore:
