Ooh, Such A Bitch!
Well, I seem to have lost my previous post. It was called, ‘Small Talk’, and fortunately was short and not all that interesting. A couple of comments got lost, too. This is the message I deployed to Blogger Support:
‘Hi. I was just wondering if I (at www.idyller.blogspot.com) could please have my latest post back now? You know, the one called, 'Small Talk'. I don't know why you would want to take it and keep it just for yourself anyway. It really isn't all that interesting - I have written better ones. You could have taken 'Wild Colonial Boys', for example - that was a pretty good one, I thought. Anyhow, if I see that you are auctioning it off on eBay I will be most displeased. Especially if I get outbid. Sincerely, S. Gregory.’
They wrote back, informing some generic ‘Hi there’ character that they ‘had a number of unplanned outages over the weekend, resulting in various problems accessing Blogger and BlogSpot, as well as publishing blogs,’ etc. Coincidentally, however, that information was mildly relevant to me, as well as, I assume, to this mysterious ‘Hi there’ fellow.
Of course, yes, I do understand that accidental fuck-ups occur, and I appreciate Blogger providing free blogs for us to utilise, but don’t you just love the interpersonal warmth of our modern times? Human interaction should never be electronic communication but, rather, HUMAN communication that is electronically transmitted.
I wrote back, asking, ‘Am I able, though, to get my post and comments back?’ and I await the robotic reply of Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. or Miss or Dr. or Sir or Lord or Darth or ??? 'Blogger Support'.

The answer, S. Gregory, to the burning question is of course
NOT BLOODY LIKELY
Because that's the answer to a lot of blogger issues. Save it before you post it. Best advice.
Too late, I know, but still.
Did you decide if you want to return the Coleridge and get something else? OR just keep the Coleridge and pick something else?
Errol waited for Charlie, but he little tramp did not arrive at Sabine's birthday bash - old Errol had to sign a few autographs himself, and settled on the balcony, sipping punch, feeling that the end of the evening would not arrive ...
Darkneuro: Um, neither! I am keeping the Coleridge YOU ordered and got for me because, despite its being not in quite as good condition as advertised (but, really, it is still very nice), it is the thing YOU ordered and got for me! And a first friendship-sealing present is an irreplaceable thing to cherish! Thank-you so much! :-D
Rupert: The Little Tramp was temporarily lost along the blizzardy Chilkoot Pass, following his ludicrous hand-sketched compass, while S. Gregory & Shantoo shared a much-needed evening together.
N1F: What the hail are you on about, dare I ask? *LOL*
N1F: Oh.
