I was at a local IT gathering all day yesterday and the final hour was devoted to five-minute slots from the floor. When nobody else wanted to come up, and with a spare slot begging, Piers Cawley - one of the previous speakers - came to the front with his mobile phone in hand, started a countdown from five minutes and performed Keith Marsden's "Doing The Manch" word and note perfect, finishing to the second. A bravura performance, a cappella with pleasing vocal clarity.

It's a shaggy dog tale of a pub crawl, it starts outI was eighteen when my dad first took me to a pub,

And I've never, ever seen him quite so mad.

"A pint of your usual, sir" the barman said,

But he was asking me, not Dad.

"Now if surfeiting the appetite will sicken and so die,

I'll not long have a boozer for a son.

They say there's twenty-seven pubs from here to Odsal Top

And tonight we'll have a pint in every one."

and this post is a thank-you to the performer.

Snooze, you oddity, that's a blank post.

Amazing, isn't it? I had no idea I could do that.

Only a cat-lover could want to in the first place.

But is the blank post a satirical comment on the opening post.............that is the question.



I am only asking.

I am only asking. It appears the blank post sums up the OP In It's entirety. In fact, I think It's a masterpiece and 'The Blank Post' should be entered for The Turner Prize.
