Bet then you knew that already, didn’t you?
Nothing serious, though. See you next week!

Hot Air Rises
Stroke Bloke is on paternity leave and brushing up on modern parenting skills. There’s probably a stroke recovery story in there somewhere.
Anyway, apoplectic.me will be back next week. See you then.

‘Til Tuesday
Hi! I think I’m going to change apoplectic.me’s regular posting day to Tuesday.
Over the weekend, there are weekend things to do, and then by Monday all the other things to do have built up and there are regular weekday things to do and I want to do all the things because if I don’t do all the things the to-do list will just get longer and longer for ever and ever amen.
[More whimsy and more personal reflections are available in the Apoplexy Tiny Letter.]

Monarchy
At the end of last week’s post on Democracy, I asked
I was quite pleased with the turnout, although I wouldn’t call it overwhelming. Nevertheless, we have a decision and I intend to carry out the wishes of the apoplectic public. Although I suppose that after my triumph, I should resign from the blog and let another blogger pick up the pieces. Someone with high level experience, and a knowledge of dated British indie music and puns. And a mum, preferably. A mum of kids. A mum of kids who can maintain the high moral tone of the blog. But who fits the bill??? Continue reading Monarchy

On Vacation
apoplectic.me is on vacation this week.
I’ll look forward to writing to you next week. But in the meantime, please do take the opportunity to catch up with these recent scribblings by a bloke three years removed from a catastrophic haemorrhagic stroke:
- The Hofstadter-Moebius Loop – on writing Nerd Bait’s latest short form rock opera.
- Will This Do? – on Boris Johnson, in the style of a lazy, research shy, moron.
- Will This Do, Too? – more #EUreferendum: why are these lying bastards lying to me?
- Stroke Digest #8 – On The Revenant, Richard Dawkins, and a junior doctors’ strike update.
- Survival – On The James Plays, lies, damned lies, and statistics.
All from a uniquely stroke-y angle.
Till next week…

Gone Fishin’
A quick flick through my Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations reveals that no one has ever said anything funning about fishing.
So, I’ve not gone fishing, but apoplectic.me is taking the week off – things are busy around here. In the meantime, why not check out Nerd Bait’s site in preparation for the première of their new short-form concept album, The Tail of The Wee Mermannie, at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on 25th August?
Alternatively, please take a minute sign up for the weekly Apoplexy Tiny Letter.
apoplectic.me will be back on 17th August. Till then, have a great week!

International Masturbation Month
Hello, Dear Reader. And belatedly, Happy Stroke Month. To mark the occasion, the Apoplexy Store has re-opened.
Want to show non-profit solidarity with #stroke survivors and their carers? The all-new, not-shit Apoplexy Store: http://t.co/YhsTAtrDhF

A massively smaller selection of stuff, but much pithier, I think. The bad news is, given what’s been cut, you’ll have to hack my phone if you’re looking for a t-shirt of Stroke Bloke looking lithe in a dress.
Oh, and sign up for alerts, and more personal and more whimsical content at: https://tinyletter.com/apoplectic_me. Continue reading International Masturbation Month
