I was offline until after lunch. My computer misbehaved, sequentially. This means my annual reminder that this is my personal bad joke day is late. It would be my father&#39;s hundred-and-first birthday if he were still alive. I miss him so much. Bring out your worst #jokes in his honour!

I have tussled quietly with #Spellcheck recently, but today I regret to inform you that Spellcheck wanted to change &#39;notable to &#39;negotiable.&#39; All the notable people who read these words, know that you are not who you thought you were.

My favourite typo this morning is &quot;Jewish asp.&quot; &quot;Jewish past&quot; is so much less interesting.
