Thanks for the hits!
Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.

Enjoy the break, but don't stay away too long. I need my stimulus!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the fish (and conversation and music)!
ReplyDeleteD in California
Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHoping the writing goes well with a break from Th' Isle O'Foam©.
ReplyDeleteDai Sanuk!!!
ReplyDeletebone voyagee,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your well deserved break
ReplyDeleteCheers! Catch you on the flipside
ReplyDeleteRock on FT3! Who knows what lies ahead. What I do know is —I have always enjoyed my time here - you never know what you will get - laughter, learning something new, experiencing some excellent music, and interacting with interesting people scattered all across the globe. You are the tie that binds. That’s pretty fucking cool if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteThank 'ee from the heart of my bottom, Thames! I'm hiatusing indeterminably because: I have a feeling very nearly, perhaps all, the albums I wanted to feature here are here, and I don't want th' IoF© to become a re-feature resource for those who didn't catch them first time around. That, and - a general internet malaise, which affects me from time to time but seems to run deeper now. There's so little I need to read/watch/listen to, and so much that grates and infuriates (pretty much anything from this century) that I'm weaning myself off it. That, and - the diminishing returns of the hunt for new music that checks my boxes. I'm listening right now to Bret McKenzie's 'Freak Out City', which is swell and all, but if I'll remember it in a month's time is ... well, I forget. So I'm listening less, to less. I love the quiet (not silence) of my home, and the sounds that float in, birdsong, dogs ... that's enough to make music an intrusion. That, and - the increasing demands on an old operating system (my computer's, too) are becoming tiring. That, and - the feeling that th' IoF© peaked a while back, when comments were open to any bum who wanted to make one. Recently, there's been an influx of Internet Nuisances who've necessitated a change to moderated comments, which is something I never wanted to do. Bummer, man!
DeleteThere's always been the core Four Or Five Guys© who've made this worthwhile, and you're still out there, and th' IoF© is still here to be explored (a lot of screed).
That, and - I'm reactivating a dormant novel (which I didn't give away here already), my last grab for the brass ring. Takes up Four Or Five Hours© a day keyboard time, makes my brain simmer like a day-old chili!
Thanks as ever to youse bums what is responsible for raking the sand on th' IoF©.
Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteYou do you!
kong rats on yer' big number, huzzah!

ReplyDeleteWell all I can say is I hope Kreemé is keeping an eye on the posts because I'd hate to miss the big event because suddenly a dozen posts all get posted at once. 20 to go the "2 & 6 zeros". Keep Chillin' Farq old bean!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Farq, old boy!! Ya' made it to the magical desired number!!! Happy to be a part of the good ole' Isle of Foam .. and all who sail in her!!!!
ReplyDeleteA great punctuation mark to reach, Farq. I do hope we haven't seen the last of you. Am currently enjoying 'Godbox', but also reading the thematically-overlapping Graham Masterton's 'Mirror' just to help addle my easily confused mind. Don't stay away too long, babe (air-kiss).
ReplyDeleteThanks for everthing
ReplyDeleteKeep on keeping on!
ReplyDeleteI don't care what you say, I'm checking back every day. You never know.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteBuggeruntus Farq . . . is the globe not in a bad enough state with all these bastard politicians sodding the world up? Now you are deserting us and we will be bereft, inconsolable wondering what there is left to live for! A glimmer of hope must remain, a guttering flame perhaps, as you have put us through this torment before only to rise again from the ashes. Eternal gratitude for all and everything hereupon. I will leave you with the old Chinese proverb: "May your shadow never grow shorter and your cattle have many young".
ReplyDeleteonward to 3000000
ReplyDeleteDo what you feel is best, but this IS the most fun online! I'll STILL pop in daily!
