Not crying.

The Chancer will rise again. Perhaps out of a splitting rock, bare-chested with a jewel-encrusted sword or something.

And wanted to answer it to you directly as well as via this site, only to have it bounce back? I don't mind being questioned, corrected or criticised here - I wouldn't have the blog otherwise. But those who are doing it don't need to hide behind false addresses. You mean the awkward question I went on to answer?

Everyone else: I’ve been asked, rightly, if I may have read too much into the Gone Fishing sign and message on the site. And, I must admit to wondering that myself today. When I saw it last night, it looked pretty clear to me. This is a site with an obvious business plan and it’s run off with a vague message saying it’ll see us when it it’ll see us. That would be a strange business plan. It looks final to me. My source? The message on the site. Anyway, I’ve been unable to confirm this today so I’m saying that if you know something contrary, let me know. If I am wrong The Chancer may return with a post headlined: Shane Hegarty RIP.

Gone fishin’ or sleeping with the fishes. We’ll see. It’s probably my fault anyway, I didn’t go to see In Bruges.

Thanks for the reminder about Time To Go. I'll have to fish them out. David - I am an easily amused cretin.
