Just a short note to apologise for the current break in transmission.
Mr Sex has a hard drive crash, and is currently trying to get his drive hard enough again to get a good performance.
Wednesday's post went down like a lead balloon, but hey if you hit the target everytime, then you are standing too close.
So please bear with us, and we'll be back soon!

Best of luck with the drive shafting.
Oh, and I laughed at wednesdays post and was surprised to see it taken down on the strength of one comment. More self-deprecating than sexist, imo.
I was really surprised that this post was taken down. I thought it was the funniest thing that I've read for ages - tears of laughter were streaming down my cheeks as I read it out loud to my colleagues and they loved it too. The piece was obviously tongue in cheek and self-deprecating. I am gobsmacked that anyone chose to take what was obviously a humourous poem so seriously. If TT pulls down everyone post that is slightly 'dangerous' and just publishes 'safe' articles on pulling and the like I shall be very disappointed. C'mon people - lighten up!
Oi. Where's this gone? I sent the link to my mates so they could check out this poem and giggle along to it like i did and it's been taken down. Why? It was dead funny.
What was this poem....
I for one really want to know
It was a long and funny poem written in the Shakespearean sonnet style about one man's obsessive love for a certain Australian pop singer. It was very rude, very witty and very silly. The 'target' of the piece was clearly the tragic sadness of the author himself. However, some idiot has deemed it offensive or sexist or some such rubbish so it's been taken down. Such a shame - it was the best thing I've read for ages. Exactly the sort of gem one (well, me) hopes to stumble across when reading these sorts of sites.
Just logged on to TT for my daily dose of humour and insight and found that wednesday's poem has been removed. Why? I think that it's really sad if it's been taken down just cos of a few negative comments. I thought the point of TT was to encourage debate. Personally I thought that the poem was hilarious and that anyone who didn't get it is clearly an idiot. How can it be deemed sexist when it's so obviously an ironic comment on the failings of the author himself. In my job (Im a city worker - female) I come across genuine sexism every day and this ain't it. In addition, I thought the poem was really well written! Even if the subject matter wasn't serious. I shall be really disappointed if TT continues to remove excellent pieces like this due to the stupid voices of a hysterical few who desperately need to get a life
If anyone wants to read the poem, subscribe to the blog's feed via something like Google reader, which being evil Google, archives everything.
Personally, I thought the poem was funny, and it's sad that some people didn't feel the same way. =(
