Yes, it is spelled correctly! Remember them? Ex Bananarama Member Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit were the lead and backing vocalist respectively.

Their first single to chart in the UK was called You’re History. And that’s exactly what I say to Defensio on this blog today.

After 5 months using it, the first couple of months were great, after teaching it the commenting regime on this blog it caught all my spam comments with no problem.

Unfortunately, beginning of May is where it started to go wrong. It marked a number of genuine comments as spam and couldn’t process some other comments. Same thing happened in June. Last night I had to “unspam” 6 more comments (including one from Donncha and two from my Dad) and then today I had to self-process another 20 messages because Defensio seemed incapable. I then did the same thing on Mini! Mini! Mini!.

So, Defensio, You’re History.

Continuing the musical theme, Thin Lizzy’s The Boys Are Back In Town. Where “The Boys” = Akismet. Can someone remind me why I left please?

On another note, this theme is starting to piss me off. I don’t know why, it’s been great. But I feel a change coming on. Possibly single column with the “sidebar” at the bottom. Expect Change.

Well, with a very big apology to all those that received a spam email from my email address, cloned of course - I hate spam as much as you do - I have had to change my email address.

In the last 48 hours I have received undeliverable messages (1035 and counting), people letting me know I have been cloned (4 - thanks!), ridicule (27 so far), and at least two threats to report me to my ISP for being the person in the title.

IT’S NOT ME! Come on people! If you’d read the fucking blog before threatening to kill me1 you would have realised that I’m not hyping the latest makeyourp3n1sthreefeetlonglaquo super drug or offering to sort your money problems with two swift clicks of the mouse. Perhaps you could sort your money problems using Seppuku2?

So, if you have my old domain email address, I’m sorry, it ain’t gonna work. If you want my new email address you have a few options: 1. Facebook. 2. The contact form. 3. Text message (if, of course you have my mobile number.

Stop the internet, I want to get off.


  1. one - in Wisconsin - probably inbred and never even left the state, let alone the US. Do you own a passport? I’m in the UK - Engerland - know where that is? No, it isn’t part of Canada. Moron.
  2. Google it.
