Dammit and Bastards!

Today I'm a slightly angry blogger. If a blog was actually important I'd be a full blown angry blogger but it's not, so I'm not. There're three reasons I'm slightly angry, in order of provocation:

1. A few moments ago (as of writing this) I heard a funny noise over my right shoulder. I had a look and low and behold it was the sound of poor old Gerhardt Gecko getting part of his tail and rear left leg bitten off by a hungry big gecko. Poor Gerhardt. Not that it seems to have made much difference to his mobility (and therefore, hopefully, his chances of evading consumption in the future.) It took me a fair few attempts to grab the little git to have a look. Don't worry, he's going to pull through.
   
2. The camera's still broken so I can't get a picture of Gerhardt in his new mutilated, freakish state.
3. When I logged in to post this entry I got this message:

I don't know why my blog has been mistaken for spam. I'm not advertising penis enlargement, viagra, cheap drugs or fake degrees. (It'll probably be blocked again within minutes of posting this entry now though.) I'm offering a valuable insight into the mind of a(n exceptionally modest) genius while he travels in Thailand, which is of benefit to all mankind. Hmm, thinking about it, those mentions of lady boys, prostitution and sex in my last post might have done it...

Anyhoo, I rescued Gerhardt from the evil clutches of a gecko which I like to call President Bush and set him free to hobble rapidly around like the cripple he is. Bless 'im. I've also sent a request to Google to unblock my blog for the good of humanity. I wrote this at 1:32am, Sat 3rd March 2007 local time. So we can see how long it takes blogger to deal with false positive spam alerts.

Update: It's 10:41 local time and here's the post. I got the confirmation email that the blog was unlocked at 6.30am, so Google was fairly swift about it.

Off into town to get some breakfast imminently. Then going to Ayuttatta for the day tomorrow. I'll try and get some pictures with Stan's phone camera for you.
