Hi fellow Tinpotters. This morning i decided to withdraw my latest article on grounds of quality. There had been a strange smell hanging around my computer since late Friday night and removal of said post has made it disappear. (the smell, that is, not the computer before the Sultan picks me up on it) Things didn't seem quite right, it was indeed a poor piece of copy. I asked a close friend what the problem might be and received the reply: " It's you, Roscoe, You're old. You're boring. Enough's enough. Why don't you just p*ss off somewhere and die?" Luckily he told me in time, else that sub-standard article may have remained there forever and worse still been joined by something even worse. In the immortal words of Neil Sedaka, the "Tra La Days" are really over. The house match reports at Moathouse Primary School, Stillmanjunior and the protest in the Metro centre, the Totally Ficticious Football League stories, Undiecover Police Girl Cordelia Shagpype-Whyskas strip-teaseing her team to victory before being lured to another club and exploited for Icelandic fish porn, the Tinpot Terrace Poser's League and finally the Tinpot Tiff. Those days are gone forever. The world has moved on. Time for me to move along with it. As Sir John Major said "When the curtain comes down it's time to leave the stage." So the parephenalia of the TFFN reporter are quietly being retired.

There will be a need. A cat-has-trophy play on worms situation of comedic stature which will, as with Bill Shatner, prompt a Lazarus.
Of this I am convinced.

I think that the old guy is just burnt out. Overworked. Underpaid. Awful working conditions. Depressed, angry wife with a PhD in "I told you so" who frequently points out his many mistakes and legion shortcomings.
And the news these days is just so hard to try and hang something funny on. The "neverendum", IS and beheadings, boku haram, Ukraine, disappearing aircraft, drowning refugees, etc, etc.
Dog days, indeed.
