      Richard is currently making himself look ridiculous growing facial fungus for a good cause, in aid of depressed people with prostate cancer.

      Given that I already look ridiculous have a beard and ’tache that would not disgrace an unfrocked rabbi Captain Birdseye a Middle-Eastern terrorist, I was wondering how I could help Richard, apart from just giving a donation. So, over lunch today at the Cliftonville Hotel, the most likely venue for Cromer Is So Bracing ’09, I came up with this sleazy opportunist entrepreneurial idea.

      From now on, until Richard decides he’s finished, I shall donate one Aussie dollar to Richard’s barbaceous enterprise for each one of my books I sell on lulu.

      Well, it is for charity. And I’m desperate.

          No, Ian, blackmail would be if I threatened to send copies of my books to people who didn’t donate to Richard’s follicular farrago.

          Well, if you look at his comment thread, he did express a view that might be seen as legitimizing the sodomizing of marsupials.

          Even I’m not as sad as all that. Anyway, some sad kind person bought a copy of By The Sea yesterday, so I owe you another cowrie shell Australian dollar. Given that donations of more than 2 flainian pobble beads Australian dollars are tax-deductible, which I guess will help the campaign, I’ll wait until I get two or three more orders before donating to your good cause .

          Henry, it’s probably better to use the tiny URL for the donation—the blasted NN blogging software screws up the &.
