Right. Ok, well, what follows is a simple rule of thumb for those of you who live here. If ever you feel the need to draft an email to someone…an email where you don’t really know what to say, or how to say it, or even if you should say it, I strongly advise that you never populate the To field with the maybe-maybe-not-someday-recipient’s email address.

A = You know to whom you are writing.
B = You know their email is in your Address Book.
C = You’ve memorised their email address because you’re just that type of person, type Crazy.

Ergo A + (B and/or C) = You really don’t need to populate that field. Trust me, for I am an archaeologist discovering the depths of The Cave of Spastic.

And today, I discovered that there were – much to my surprise – many deeper levels to said Cave.

Anyone wish to take a guess as to what these new depths may be?

They are the “I’ve hit the Send button instead of the Delete button” as well as the “I’ve hit the Send button instead of the Save button” because we all know that the first Spast-acular act is meaningless without the second equally, if not more so, Spastic move. Why stop at one when two provide double the insanity, double the fun and double the pleasure? Because when you short-circuit twice, you are guaranteed (and isn’t this our aim?) troth to the title of “Crazy Person”.

This is a title I embrace today and to which none of you can have access until you find greater depths in The Cave of Spastic.

I have a tiara and plan on purchasing a wand on my way home SO BACK OFF.

“I meant to send that to George Clooney / Angelina Jolie / Jesus / my belly button.
