How can I prevent myself from being distracted?

Dear chuckoffski,

Are you a sockpuppet of itokakekikokukro? you certainly have a very similar problem. Suspiciously similar, even. Remain exactly where you are while I check your IPs. Check complete. Do not concern yourself. No agents will visit. Honest. The sound of rotors overhead is nothing to be alarmed about.

Yours ominously,

Marvin

Dear Marvin
I am a church minister but I know one day they will rumble me and I will find myself having to work for a living.

Could you suggest another career for a power-mad, control-freak, who only works on a Sunday?

Dear Ansermenow,

You seem ideally suited for a job as stadium manager for an American Football team.

Yours lackadaisically,

Marvin

Dear Marvin,

I want to get release my inner hellion, but it seems to have gone missing. What do I do?

Yours worriedly,

Dear kongsfled,

Yes, this is a common ailment in those who see their need to become more Hellish than they already are. Fear not! You may yet avoid the "seasonal veg and nice merlot" ending normally reserved for those who fail.

The first thing to realise is this: if your "inner Hellion" has gone missing, then it does not need to be released! Quite the opposite, you must track it down and recapture it! I recommend the Central Line at about 5:15pm on a Wednesday as a good place to start looking, followed by the middle lane of the M25 near Heathrow.

If you can get through both of those without reacquiring your Hellish tempers, then try going to Runcorn. It's frigging horrible, is Runcorn. Ain't nobody gets out of there still being all sunshine and lollipops. It's the sort of place that would make St Francis kick the dog.

Yours educationally,

Marvin

Dear Marvin,

I was recently told that I was not quite as unpleasant as Zombie Hitler. This was obviously hurtful in the extreme since my quest for perfection requires me to be at least as, if not more, unpleasant than that. Is there some way I can achieve this state of unpleasantness without a megalomaniacal quest for world domination and the involvement of voodoo priests?

Moderately unpleasantly yours,
BessHiggs

Dear BossHogg,

There are some who are just so perfectly evil that no-one can ever improve on them. Zombie Hitler is one such legend. You're obviously not going to be anywhere near as unpleasant, especially if you don't want to go for the megalomaniacal quest for world domination, voodoo priests or no.

My advice would be to accept your station in life and focus on small, localised unpleasantness. You'll soon be less popular in your (erstwhile) friend's mind than any undead dictator you'd care to name [Smile] .

Yours locally,

Marvin

Dear Marvin:

Did you know people expect you to pay for stuff like telephone and internet and electricity? even groceries and car repairs! Not only that, you have to keep paying over and over. what the hell's with that?

Dear Currys,

Yeah, you've got to pay for stuff. People don't work for free, you know. Pay your way or get off the planet!

Yours capitalistically,

Marvin
