(I'm still at a loss as to how that's a scandal, given either booze-for-sex or sex-for-booze sounds like a good deal to me, so long as it's not beer)

Tonight, Radio 4, 6.30PM - Stewart Lee interviews Alan Moore. They've cut an hour's interview down to 30 minutes, which will doubtless include all the bumph explaining the basics of comics, but it should still be worth a listen.

Regular readers may remember my argument with some communists over the listing for a Cuba solidarity night. Turns out they've written it up online too, bless them! They correctly identify me as arrogant, malicious and part of "the forces of social democracy" but I do resent the charge of 'ignorance'. Still, the fool's reproach is a kingly title, and all that.

A devout Baptist couple who bought a Doris Day DVD from a supermarket were shocked to find a sex film instead..."My wife and I were very shocked but we watched it until the end because we couldn't believe what we were seeing."
Yeah, *right*. If I don't like a film, it normally lasts 20 minutes, maybe less. Yet they manage the whole thing and then complain? Hypocrites until proven otherwise, methinks.

As I'd expected, the KY ad was indeed shown during Shameless. Free samples here!

That communique from the communists is priceless. Well done there, sir!

K-Y advert caused me great distress. Something about the look on the woman's face combined with the supposed warming properties of the advertised substance. Made me think of Deep Heat on the bollocks. Bad combination, that.

I mean, I can certainly see a hem hem 'specialist' market for something like that, but one doesn't expect ads on national TV for such things!

The great thing during the actual exchange of emails was that they always came from 'Che Guevara'. So my counter-revolutionary activities were clearly so dangerous that Che rose from the dead to fight me.

For some reason I find the write-up from the RATB or whatever they're called hysterically funny. I can't quite put my finger on it, either.

It's the 21st century - surviving communists are inherently funny because they're so clearly an evolutionary dead end. A bit like pandas.

Communists who think there is any such thing as a functioning communist society in the world at present are comparable to platypuses, or would be if they were in any way cute.

Social Communists, on the other hand ... eh. I shall be over here in the corner with some cheapo plonk, staring whistfully into the distance.

Also, communists lay eggs.

I think you could describe something like Iain M Banks' Culture (pretty much my ideal society) as communist, but only because it's clearly not capitalist or feudal. I think really, the word is now just too tainted by association with twentieth century fvck-ups.

Pretty much - it does tend to conjour up a) the Soviet Union and b) wanky arts students like me. I will end this comment before I start spouting wank like "but the SSSR wasn't REAL Communism".

Send off for our T-shirt with an image of Barry Sarll on the front and a quote by him on the back, ‘a true dictator is motivated by great feelings of greed’ for £17,000 and a badge with a picture of Barry Sarll and the words ‘Let Peons Rage’ for 50p (both including p&p).

Ooh, what a namecheck you've got there.

No. Any client who wanted to cut that bit from the listings was entirely free to do so, so they're all complicit in it.
The only time a superior has ever told me to change a listing, style points aside, was when I described Baxendale as the best new band in Britain.
