Somehow I found time to write up the PPDS a couple of weeks ago. And while staring at a blank screen earlier waiting for inspiration, I re-read Andy Shelley’s awesome response to my throwaway metaphor about bike marketing. If you’re prepared to read the shit I write, then this is definitely worth a look – a) because it’s clever and b) because it’s short 😉

I was going to link the original lyrics, but really Billy isn’t going to scan well against Andy’s efforts.
Right that’s set the bar, next thing I write I’ll be expecting something comment-y of at least the same quality 🙂
