I know, I know, the Tyrant of Syracuse, but buggered if I can remember his name. Damon? Pythias? It'll come to me.
ANYWAY. No mention of SO or leakage or other damaging info in the trades at the end of last week, so SO, who doesn't borrow trouble so much as has a permanent lend-lease arrangement on the stuff, now wonders if the next thing is to be a solicitor's letter on our doormat, and the reason it's not here yet is half term, and everyone is away.
Great. At least with the publication thing, we had a potential full stop to this sorry episode. Now we have to dread the postman. Every darn day.
A SWORD! Of Damocles! Yay! Honestly, call myself a fan of the Rocky Horror Show . . .

Nearly commented after the first paragraph, because I knew the answer (and seem to have been using the phrase a lot recently).
Fortunately I read to the end first, and so stopped myself looking too much (more) of an idiot.
my ceiling is a vertiable Damien Hirst style art display of Damocle's Swords. . .
thought he was a character from Greek Mythology anyhow, not a picture show? funnily enough I was going to write a post today based on characters from Greek Mythology. . . now you'll just think I'm copying you
*sulks*
what I want to know is this: who is the Tyrant of Syracuse? I've been there, it's a wonderful place; very nice lake; lots of sweetcorn. . .
bugger about The SO, The Leak, His Trade Paper and Her Lawyer (sorry having a bit of a Peter Greenaway moment) - must be excrutiating. . .
is there anything he can do? there must be something?
Oh bad luck. I say allow yourselves an extra 10% on the drinks ration until it all blows over.
Yikes. But if it wasn't in the trades last week, with luck they'll have dismissed it as old news by this week, and hopefully SO's client will have found something else to fret about by then. Best of luck!
Dave - don't remember anything particulary Damoclean over at your gaffe, unless you count Phil's comments of course. Maybe I should just pay more attention.
ILTV, no, he was real. And Tyrant was a bit like King, is all. Looking forward to the Greek post in the landslide of wonders that is your blog. Tell me when it happens though, as I believe I have mentioned before how hard you are to keep up with! (And what SO can do, SO does - grumps moodily, doing a crap job of pretending to be cheerful. Still, a lot to have on one's plate.)
BiB- *hic* - shorry. Shcuse me.
Patroclus - I'm concerned that the industry's memories are longer than their willies. Or that the whole is greater than the sum of its members. I'm trying to keep my pecker up though. Nothing cheers me up like a bunch of lame penis jokes.
landslide of wonders
hmmm. . .
maybe I could copy that and rename my blog!
(have actually been trying to avoid the depressing misery that would justify a Greek tradgedy of mythological proportion, but should I sink back into that well again, I'll send out for a goat and a slinky and let you know all about it)
(oops, you blogger profile question is a Terry Pratchett; someone else must have the one about the escape, the well, his goat and her slinky)
