Ignore The Rumours
Rumours that I've been carted off to the pokie because of my comments on
the overseas billionaire case are untrue!
I'm afraid I've been laid-low by a rather shattering virus that forced the
abandonment of Friday's Aardvark Daily and has meant that I won't be
contributing my usual daily rave today.
Now that my food no longer behaves like a yo-yo, normal service should be
restored tomorrow -- when the results of the annual Aardvark Awards, along
with the winner of the Microsoft eunuch mouse will be announced.
