Your Lord has stayed away from the Land of Blog and the news stories because he has had other fish to fry. Similarly to Godfather Michael Corleone, just as I had tried to find other pursuits away from Shoppershire, one of my detractors has pulled me back into the fray. This particular detractor goes by the name of TINMAN and he/she/it has set up a poll in the Forum entitled ‘Bored with Erastus Piggout’.

This idiot has overlooked the fact that it has been quite some time since Your Lord has written a blog or passed comment on a news story. The cretinous TINMAN obviously feels lost without His Lord’s witty, entertaining and amusing blogs and comments, otherwise why else would it take the time to post such a ludicrous poll?

Perhaps it expects me to sit by my computer all day and night posting comments for its amusement. Your Lord can only assume that TINMAN is a troll, so fair play to it if, by my writing this blog, I have made its day with my retort.

It is quite flattering to think that TINMAN’s life is so empty without His Lord to enliven its quite obviously dull troll existence.

Wouldn’t it have been nicer if it had taken the time to use its evidently limited imagination to pose a subject that everyone could have contributed to, though I hasten to add that since the new site has been in place very few readers have been bothered to register themselves in order to leave comments?

Your Lord has even gone so far as to remind readers of a previous poll which was set up in an attempt to rid the site of my good self. Naturally, Your Lord won the vote and that is the reason why he is still in your midst.

I have said before and I will say again: if you do not like my blogs and comments, do not read them. It is that simple – just like TINMAN.

My advice to you all is to take a minute to register yourselves and get some good discussions going again.

Surely, it is not that hard for some of your tiny minds to comprehend, is it?

Your Lord, Erastus Theobald Piggott
