This book, by popular childrens' author Spudchop Tagliatelle, is a must-have for parents of children suffering from post-shower-towelphobia. Witty and beautifully illustrated by popular childrens' illustrator Robert Crowsfeet, it adopts a patronising tone that the children will mistake for sincerity, yet the parents will recognise as sharp piss-taking out of this pathetic affliction.

Comments are fun

Is this Pete back to posting, then? Or is it just a space filler?

ed · November 16, 2003 21:33

Pete? THE Pete?

* rushes excitedly up towards Pete, arms outstretched *

First thought: That doesn't sound like Karen.
Second thought: Maybe she's got a guest blogger. Audi Man, maybe?
Third thought: IT'S PEEEEEETE !!!!!

Never leave us like that again, do you hear?

*Tearful family reunion*

Stuart · November 17, 2003 11:25

Pete's back. Hurrah. That was almost worth clambering out of my sick-bed for. Really.

Vaughan · November 17, 2003 13:30

My hornet squadron are flying a lap of honour for you, General Pete.

Mark · November 17, 2003 13:56

I'm not back, exactly.

Consider it a hiatus from not blogging.

Pete · November 17, 2003 20:10

pete? ubacka?

kate · November 17, 2003 23:18

*groans*

Stuart · November 18, 2003 09:36

And now we have the long dark teatime of the soul before he posts again or before Karen gets back to announce her sex change operation was a success.

D · November 18, 2003 16:19

Goddammit, you all love him more than me. Zed was wrong.

That's it, I'm sulking. I'm staying on hiatus. Unless anyone wants some tea.

Karen · November 18, 2003 16:49

I was thinking of designing and sticking a new page on the old URL...either a bar (Kate's suggestion) or a tea shop...

I wasn't entirely sure how it would work in any way differently to the Uber cocktails / tea sessions...

Karen?

I'd like some tea.
Thank you.

Stuart · November 18, 2003 17:24

See, Pete's discovered the essential rule of popular blogging. Remain silent and only post once in a blue moon. I knew there was a way in which I'd been going wrong all these years.

Vaughan · November 18, 2003 20:45

I can't give you tea, I'm not back yet.

Karen · November 19, 2003 10:08

Yes yes I know...I was just illustrating a tea-related desire to keep you from a permanent hiatus as threatened above.

Stuart · November 19, 2003 10:13

Hmm. Tea. Tea would be great. Milk and one sugar, please...

Stark · November 19, 2003 10:37

She's not really there, Stark. She's just a figment of our Uborka-starved imaginations.

Anyone else want to do tea in Karen's absence?

Stuart · November 19, 2003 11:02

I know, but she's a figment with tea, and therefore worth asking anyway.

Stark · November 19, 2003 12:47

..especially, I suppose, as the tea is, ahem, figmentary anyway.

Let us conjure up an imaginary Karen to present us with imaginary tea.

Stuart · November 19, 2003 16:11

Heh. Well, I've got a very nice cup of tea here, thank you. But you're all going to have to wait.

Karen · November 19, 2003 16:45

( Karen is being rather obfuscious regarding her email address, don't you think ?)

sue · November 19, 2003 17:41

(oh, just that I'm chez Pete and haven't bothered to alter the saved thingummy)

(I'm not here, you see)

Karen · November 19, 2003 18:29

('Thingummy' ? Of course. This could indeed be true, after all, someone poetically inclined is busy elsewhere, I have noticed.

Do I strike anyone else as being a modern day version of the...Gestapo ?)
