By The Sea

Sorry for the radio silence - internet silence, whatever - but I'm in Brighton. You'll never guess what I'm doing here. Go on, have a guess what I'm doing here. You'll never guess.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez would be proud of me.

Back later.

- TheTelf

‘I salute your great honesty, unless you made it up, in which case I salute your great dishonesty.’
- Larry Teabag

- Jessica Rae

‘I never even knew that cats liked marmite.’
- EmmaK

‘I knew it! Surely there had to be something worth reading out there in Blogland. And now I've found it. I did read the one track mind girl for a while, but then everyone told her she was a good writer, so she started writing like someone trying to be a writer, which was tiresome. I hope that doesn't happen to you… More power to your elbow(s).’
- Brian
