Hard News: Do you like what we've done…, in reply to Steve Parks,
Anyway, speaking of looking back at old posts, was this the first ever PAS comment, then?:
hmmm… hate to be a stickler (again), but this might have spotted another bug.
i was pretty sure the first first ever comment was mine </not bragging>, but it isn’t showing up in the comment history?

ps. had it pointed out to me that in the 'About' page Yellow Peril is still listed as a current blog.

his mum is away and i'm standing at the sink in the kitchen. i know the boy is there somewhere in the room with me, playing, rustling, searching. in the space between his speaking and my reply i feel it, the loneliness. it's just us, and i can tell that it could have always been this way. he a child and i an adult. we together alone.
i reach out to the feeling. i sense the gentle wash of hopelessness. i sense the depth of despair waiting just beyond the hulabaloo and crash of making it from day to day. i touch the edge of uncertainty. i feel the wave upon my back, responsibility, pushing me down, forcing out my air.
i look up to the lighted window and wonder, is this is what she lived with. the uncertainty. the vacuum of knowing you are all this small person has to depend upon, when you can depend on no-one in turn. sole parent. the sun. and i look back to see the light from those eyes and wonder if i could ever have done this, the endless march of parenting, alone. to be the rock in his small universe until he needs me no longer.
thanks jackie, thinking of this took me and my understanding of my own back-story to a higher place.

Sherlock is the best thing i've not watched on TV in many a year.

I've reduced fears about at least one thing here that could give us all the shits.
i should stipulate that my reading didn't suggest any "cling to the wall to prevent lift-off" shits. just... more active.
ben, let us know how you fair after eating three meals off crockery and cutlery still soaked in surfactants.
but light on details, please.
in real news, can't they just ditch the big names and make this with unknowns? the names in LOTR were actually pretty shitty. hugo weaving for example? great. big. w. t. f.

i'm freaking researching surfactants when i should be enjoying a book.
damn you, compulsive rinsing!!

I think you would be far, far more likely to get something inducing diarrhoea from the food on the plate rather than any detergent residue.
i can see i'd better find that journal article again then.
and what are you saying about my cooking? hmmm?
