Well, when it’s that bad, it’ll be worth a read just for the sheer sadness of it all and how it came to be. More morbid curiosity really. Nothing like a bit of morbidity to make one truly appreciate the uplifting moments and articles.

The 2nd test seems to be going the same way at the moment.

What do you call a dinosaur with a bad back?

Ankylosaurus.

Nice variation on a running joke there, Rhys…or in the case of those with ankylosing spondylitis, a hobbling joke.

Respect.

I know it LOOKS suspicious, but, believe me, Ged’s smoked salmon is just a red herring.

The fifth column within the St John’s Wood deli underworld has been hidden in plain sight for decades. Did it not occur to ANYONE that Panzer’s might be more than it seems? https://panzers.co.uk/

All that fancy food over the years! Things that looked suspicious make perfect sense now – that mango chutney on cheese and bread was just a cover-up. Thanks for throwing some light on this matter Bert!

It’s more than that, DC. Ged is the power behind the throne. He pulls the strings. Literally, in fact. I met them once, and Ged literally had KC bound into some sort of human-sized marionette arrangement. You see, Ged runs an illegal backstreet delicatessen in North London, selling “special” food. This website only exists as a form of well-camouflaged advertising for Ged’s nibbles-to-the-underworld business.

Sam is in fact an undercover investigator for Interpol. He’s been investigating Ged as the suspected capo di tutti capi of the St John’s Wood gangs. Trouble is, he got in way too deep. Ged found out about his true identity years ago, but he got so much compromising material about him stashed away that he knows he’s safe. It was the gravadlax on sourdough open sandwiches that got him. He couldn’t go back after that, he just couldn’t go back.

All the rest, all this “contributor” stuff, is just there to put the London press off the scent, the scent in this case being mostly fennel and rosemary.
