Hi.
Good design, who make it?
Thanks for your comment, philosopherpoet, I’m glad you like the site. I’m afraid, for reasons explained in this post I’ve been a bit lapse on the maintenance of the site recently. But I’m back on the case and I will continue to make sure that there is no offensive and irrelevant spam on the site.
Hi TTucker. Re your comment about being a bit lapse. Do you mean a bit lax? Though being a bit lapse would be an interesting new usage. Btw I got on to your site trying to track down the source of the Blake quote about becoming a slave to another man’s system. Do I have to get off my ass and look up ODQ?
I did mean lax – thanks for spotting that, Pablo. Hope you find the Blake source!
Thanks. It’s near the end of the first chapter of Jerusalem. P.
