An Illusion

Grandad December 5th, 2007

I’m taking a break today.

I’m not going to post anything on my blog at all at all.

It’s partly because I have nothing to say at this moment, and partly because I don’t have the time.

So, for those of you who have tuned in and found a blank page, this is the reason.

For those of you who have tuned in and found a post - you are hallucinating.  You are reading too many blogs.  Go see a psychiatrist.

I might be back tomorrow.

Or I might not.

Life is busy at the moment, and I just don’t have the time to be messing around with all this rubbish.

    And I’m not going to comment on anything today either, not a thing, nothing.

  2. Grandad IRELANDon 05 Dec 2007 at 11:07 am

    Just as well, because I’m not going to reply to any comments.

    ‘Go see a psychiatrist’ he says. And he’s the one who had me thinking I’d found a place of sanity after all…

    [sigh]

    I hope it’s a GOOD sort of busy, like a day off in Barcelona or Christmas shopping for/with Herself or risking your neck on the roof hanging Christmas lights for the kiddies, or hey, another award. Whatever it is, I hope you’re enjoying it!

    :-)

    No post - that’ s a relief, because I’ m not reading blogs today - I’m working hard and not procrastinating.

    Sometimes silence is golden.

  13. Grandad IRELANDon 05 Dec 2007 at 2:07 pm

    This is the quietest post I’ve had in a long time!

    I’d say it’s the quietest post that you’ve never had!

    Decisions to not post cannot be taken without an application being made to the policy committee, which will refer it to the ethics committee. Subject to approval it will then be passed to the legal advisory committee who will examine it and submit it to the executive committee. Should there be dissent within the executive committee, there is right of reference to the appeals committee, otherwise it will be processed forward to the implementation committee. Applications require 21 days notice.

    No application had been made, therefore it was not possible to not post and your non-post is therefore invalidated and null and void.

    So there.

    Ian - If I didn’t know better, I’d say you worked for RTE..

    I got my permission from the Highest Authority, which overrides all others.

    I guess I am going to have to post today’s blog for you. Maybe,in a while,perhaps…….ahhhh feck it.

  19. Stepford Mom UNITED STATESon 05 Dec 2007 at 5:42 pm

    And here I was getting around to reading later than normal, glad I didn’t miss a post :)

  20. Grandad IRELANDon 05 Dec 2007 at 5:49 pm

    And the Great Day did come, when Grandad did decide not to blog, and a wave of apathy spread across the world. The people cried as one voice……

    “Ah feck it”

    and did nothing for the rest of the day.

  21. SID UNITED KINGDOMon 05 Dec 2007 at 6:08 pm

    Make the bad man come back again.

  22. Laurie CANADAon 05 Dec 2007 at 6:37 pm

    And I swear…I am NOT reading anything that you are NOT writing.

  23. Grandad IRELANDon 05 Dec 2007 at 6:56 pm

    Laurie - That’s OK. I’m not going to reply to any comment you don’t make.

  24. steph IRELANDon 05 Dec 2007 at 7:29 pm

    Here I am at last, Grannymar

    If Grandad won’t mess around with us today then I think we should make our own fun.

    Any ideas?

    btw He hasn’t replied to any comments so far - that’s only an illusion :D

    Well hell! Here I decided that all I was going to do today was to comment on my favorite blogs and what happens? Grandad decides not to post today.

    Damn! [sticks hands in pockets and walks away grumbling how life can be so unfair at times].

    [...] Grandad has decided that he’s not going to post today and has thusly informed everyone at large that he is not doing exactly this. He’s also not answering any comments but since his readers don’t seem to get this, he’s forced keep reminding them that he’s not actually in fact, answering any comments to his post about not posting. [...]

    No zany remarks from me then! :)

    O For Goodness Sakes!

    Old grumpy drawers, receives a couple of awards, seals a book deal, then puts up a “Claytons” post (the post you have when you’re not having a post) on the very site that made him famous in the first place. Now that’s gratitude for you!! We call it ‘bludging’ down here! So don’t come the raw prawn . . pull yer finger out!

    How post-modern

  31. robert bourne UNITED STATESon 05 Dec 2007 at 11:23 pm

    I see Nuuuuthing…

  32. janet UNITED STATESon 06 Dec 2007 at 12:12 am

    I didn’t see a thing, nor did I post a comment….. So if you see a comment you need to call my psychiatrist. He saw nothing either.
