Just an idle question really but is there a technical reason why the copyright notice at the bottom of every page says copyright Ship of Fools 2014 not 2015? ....

Mi dispiace. Che cosa è che in inglese? (...which essentially means, "Say what?")

No-one has written anything this year worthy of protection.

No-one has written anything this year worthy of protection.
I wrote an exquisite bit of prose, specifically for the Ship. It was epic. Themes uniting left and right, atheist and fundamentalist; it was all encompassing. It would have created peace in the Middle-east, solved world hunger and had your ironing done before you returned home from work. But it would only work if not copied without permission. So, like patdys, [delete]
Under the current situation, I am reduced to writing drivel such as this.

The copyright notice has now been updated to the current year.
I'm considering opening a book on how far we get through 2016 before it gets updated again.

So many retorts ... All of them likely to be a Commandment breach of some kind or other!
Put me down for never.

Make sure that no-one nowhere ever in the world uses the apostrophe wrongly again. Come back when you're done.
