Mr and Mrs Prick are hitting the road for a bit, so posting may be sporadic over the next few days. But what posts there are will be delicious.

Also, a word about comments: The Prick is something of a free-speech absolutist, and will only knock something back if it’s really beyond the pale or out-and-out defamatory. To date no one has been banned or blocked, though a report has come in that a loyal reader has lately had trouble getting through. If any other regulars are having the same difficulty, apologies in advance, but let me know and I shall investigate.
