We wish you a merry Christmas, and a fuck-you to spammers
Hi everyone. I hope you had fun yesterday (my dad asked if any of my radical friends opposed Christmas as a bourgeois deviation. I don’t think any do, but if you know different, let me know). I enjoyed Christmas day, but so, unfortunately, did the dada-ist spammers, attacking my comments with a couple of hundred posts each consisting of two words of random characters, one linked to a random address of a non-existant website. I’m at a bit of a loss as to what they hope to gain from that. Apologies to anyone who subscribes to the comments feed, and, in particular, apologies to those of you who post articles, as you’ve probably received a number of these spam comments in the form of e-mail notifications.
To try and stop this, I’ve added a little bit of spam protection. Most posts will still go up straight away, but if you include a link in the body of your comment, it will be held up for moderation. If you give a valid e-mail address, you will be sent an e-mail with a link you can click on to approve the comment yourself. Hopefully that should stop most of the spam without causing too much hassle for anyone.

I love your Dad. More from him please - if possible, a photo would be nice.

Ian Fisken? Neil Fisken? Brian Fisken? Alan Fisken?
We must be told.

I think my dad may have anonymously commented on here before, but I wouldn’t swear to it. His name is Roger, and a photo may be forthcoming. Possibly the photo of him with Jane Asher which sits on top of a bookcase in the living room.

You’d better not be teasing us with that…
