Like Encouragement And Gratitude, But Spendable
Yes, it’s time to remind patrons that where you are right now is made possible by the kindness of strangers. If you’d like to ensure this place exists a while longer, and remains ad-free, there are three buttons below the fold with which to monetise any love. Debit and credit cards are accepted. If what happens here is of value, this is a chance to show it.
If one-click haste is called for, there’s a QR code in the sidebar, at which you point your phone camera, and my PayPal.Me page can be found here. As requested, there are SubscribeStar and Ko-Fi accounts, via which love may also be monetised, whether as one-off donations or monthly subscriptions. Should you be gripped by an urge to express encouragement via currency, by all means succumb.
Additionally, any Amazon UK shopping done via this link, or via the button in the sidebar, results in a small fee for your host at no extra cost to you.
It’s what keeps this place here.
For newcomers wishing to know more about what’s been going on here for the last eighteen years, in over 3,000 posts and 200,000 comments, the Reheated series is a pretty good place to start – in particular, the end-of-year summaries, which convey the fullest flavour of what it is we do. A sort of blog concentrate. If you like what you find there… well, there’s lots more of that.
Do take a moment to poke through the discussion threads too. The posts are intended as starting points, not full stops, and the comments are where much of the good stuff is waiting to be found. And do please join in.
As always, thanks for the support, the comments, and the company.
Oh, and consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
Have some encouragement.
Bless you, sir. Should you be chopping chillies and feel an urge to pee, may you remember to wash your hands very thoroughly before doing so.
Pinged.👍
Thanks, o gracious host. Ping!
Bless you, sirs. May your butter dish not need cleaning.

Pinged. Gets some new noserings for the henchlesbians.
Noserings For Henchlesbians. Album name.
Bless you, sirs. Should you attend a Beloved Brother-In-Law’s birthday barbecue, teeming with strangers and people who haven’t seen each other in many years, may you experience the surrealism of some unfamiliar bloke coming over and saying, quite confidently, “Hiya Chris, haven’t seen you in ages,” because they’ve mistaken you for an entirely different person. Specifically, your Other Half.

Here you go barman, in honour of Simcoe Day here.
I’m assuming you sacrifice an ox or something. And bless you, sir. May your behind-the-sofa cables never confound your robot vacuum cleaner, resulting in beeping and whirring and repeated phone notifications.
Our victim classes, displaying their true nature.
Our betters, displaying their virtue.
