2010 marks the 60th anniversary of the launch of the PMC. Yes, it's impossible to believe, but that's because it is impossible. To mark this auspicious occasion the PMC will be taking a retrospective of some of the outstanding posts of the past six decades. From Cold War to Coldplay and from Ban the Bomb to Ban the Burka, every decade will be represented, and includes highlights from some of the most talked about of contributors...Bertrand Russell, Hunter S. Thompson, Roman Polanski, Roald Dahl and Limahl from Kajagoogoo, to name but a few - none of them contributed to the PMC's pages (oh, hold on a second, Limahl had a regular section in the early 80s).
1977 saw the introduction of the short lived but much loved series of 'blooper' posts, entitled 'Ooh I've Done It Again..!'
Posted by the never-popular Arthur Goldsberry (who never, apparently, did anything else noteworthy), they were a collection of ill fated posts which started off well, only to fall flat on their metaphorical face because, tee hee hee, people sometimes make mistakes! There were times when somebody burst out laughing, forgot what they were supposed to type, or uttered some kind of double entendre. Here are some of the selected highlights.
Ian Botham has had an extraordinary game today. The young all rounder stepped out at Trent Bridge today to claim his....what, er, what did you say? Oh no - it wasn't Trent Bridge it was at Old Trafford, ha ha ha ha ha - ooh, I've done it again!
To make a Spanish omelette, take four eggs, crack them open into a large mizing bowl and - oh no, I've dropped the eggs on the floor and they've gone everywhere! - ooh, I've done it again!
Ok here's the start of my post...erm...tssss, ha ha ha! I can't remember what I was supposed to write - don't look at me..no, well you started it, tee hee hee. - ooh, I've done it again!
The Prime Minister today was in Reading for the opening of the dsaki rj103093 akrkeak 334919e r efehr a reareakk939293929 ,fea..üreüarä - .....///// .. will someone get that bloody cat off the keyboard?! - ooh, I've done it again!
A woman contacted the PMC today to ask about a big storm she'd heard that was on the way, due to hit the South of England some time tomorrow. We can assure you that no such thing is going to happen. The very next day a force 12 gale hit the country killing thousands, and the PMC was made to look very foolish indeed - ooh, I've done it again!
Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king..fucking you FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK, OH FUCK IT TO HELL AND BACK; WHAT'S MY MOTIVATION DARLINGS?!? - ooh, I've done it again!
Postscript: Goldsberry tragically died in on the toilet in 1983 after eating a phal curry accompanied by 11 pints of lager - out of respect for him, his regular blogspot was retired (and also because it had quite frankly been done to death).
