I am being spammed up the wazoo, which is not as much fun as it sounds. What is amazing is that they are bothering, truly bothering, to keep filling in the little word verification thing over and over again. I hope they are getting paid well for their troubles.
Anyway. Do not let this put you off. Feel free to comment, telling me (for e.g.) how great I am, how much you love my blog, etc etc.
In other news, I have had a letter from the Canadian government that says I have met their requirements for residency. We have given them $490, and any day now I will be called to a dusty room in a government office, asked what my favourite colour is, and called to sign a form whilst listening to a Celine Dion lookylikey singing the French-Canadian version of the Canadian national anthem.
Coming next: I apply for citizenship, and, three years later, find myself in possession of duelling citizenships.

It was, actually, written in French originally. The English words are a very poor translation.
It was, originally, written in French. The English translation used to-day is a very poor version of the original.
You are great and I love your blog this much. Can we have a comp to find the best words in a national anthem.
Thank you Jane. I love you this much too. No. More.
Redtorystill: Yes, interesting isn't it? As far as I'm aware the English version isn't a translation at all (poor or not)- they're just entirely different words The only thing the two have in common is the music itself.
WOO!
Seems an appropriate response since it is also the last word of the anthem in both languages.
When it was my turn to go infront of the Canadian citizenship judge, I was waiting my turn with a room full of mostly asian people, practicing with their immigration lawyers. What is your name? What is your address? Bingo! I thought. I've got this aced. Got to be my turn and the sodding judge asked me 'What's the population of Saskatchewan?' Blank stare from me. He had another go. 'How many people are sit in the Senate?" Wot? Ask me my name and address you wanker! Still, they let me in anyway....
You are [enhance your penis] great, and truly [God bless and please to give personal financial information?] I love your blog [and would like to meet a man who is looking for a family-minded Russian girl with very large breasts] and honestly cannot imagine [cut rate Viagra that totally is safe, no really!] where all the spam is coming from.
[want lists of dentists?]
I wouldn't mock these spammers you know. Why only the other day I was offered the opportunity to work from home and earn $$$s. I am now a multimillionaire and have a massive, proud, erection.
I love ms. monkey and her monkey business! Where would we be without O Canada? We wouldn't know that a hockey game was bout to start, that's where we'd be. The most interesting version I have heard was in Inuit.
Good luck in that dusty room!
I was going to be witty but Jane was witty quicker. So ditto. Anyway, does duelling citizenships involve kayaking in the boondocks with hillbillies?
15 days have gone by, and N-WM seems to have disappeared!
Shall we phone the authorities?? Maybe she's on vacation somewhere?
But she didn't tell us she was going, did she?
Don't be a yutz...she doesn't have to tell anybody anything.
Is that so!?
She's fine...somewhere.
Maybe she's experimenting with luscious new recipes?
We'll see....
