I’m sorry I missed the cutoff. An even 700 about the intensifying crackdown on bestiality would have been of some interest - if there were only some way to tie it to the “I’d Do Anything” search for the next Noncy. (I got ‘Consulting Mo’ in the reCaptcha thing…. now they consult as well? That’s progress.)

Can you write something about this wonderful flying, dead “balloon priest” please?

How about a 700-word op-ed on why Francis Gilbert should be Gordon Brown’s new Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families?

can you write 700 words on the subject of “things that are sluiced” without hesitating deviating or repeating?

Can’t you just print out the “Nice Guys Finish First” chapter of The Selfish Gene in a nice handwriting font? That must be exactly 12,000 words, I reckon. And he probably quotes sources, the big academic bastard.

You’re fine with your work being plagiarised, eh? Then how about we up the ante a teensy bit. 12000 words on the use of the prisoner’s dilemma as a tool to simulate evolution, please. And by next Wednesday.

Or you could do the US elections. Whatever…

I’d be interested to know how you feel about the ongoing power struggle in Ukraine over the past few years - with the theme that precisely the same people who were deposed in the Orange Revolution are now the ones in power, in cahoots with the ones who replaced them.

I think I only want to read about this because ‘cahoots’ is such a great word, and if when writing the headline you could draw on the fact tha Yulia Timoshenko looks like Princess Leia then I might even read it.

How about an article on fat people? They’re such a drain on society, it makes me sick (brown sick from my bum, the least palatable kind).

Hi Log:

Please investigate how a well-paid consultant can say in his report that something will cost Â£1000 to install to facilitate his cost-saving bollocks, when I have costed it at around Â£100,000.

There may be a discount involved. Who will get the saving?

Certainly not me.

YES BUT…We want your opinion on the American political process. Any cunt can talk shit on talking dirty. We want your opinions on HARD CURRENT AFFAIRS. I submit that your deadline should be Sunday as well for this analysis as the democrats are going to the polls again at the end of the month and we need OPINION.

Log, do you think the Large Hadron Collider MUST BE STOPPED in case a tiny black hole swallows the Earth? (Remember the set of things on the Earth includes Robert Mugabe and cancer, so it is not as simple a question as it first looks.)
