I found buried treasure!
I found something amazing.
I was rooting around on this here dad’s laptop, looking for passwords and breadcrumbs, and there it was. Like James Joyce’s Ulysses, the beauty of what I’d found only became apparent once I began to read it out loud.
It’s a piece of fiction that I can only presume dad wrote at some point in his life. Something vulgar and clever and awesome in the true sense of the word. It was so funny and well written and not entirely in the style of Grandad prose I had to run it through Grammarly to make sure it wasn’t already on the internet somewhere.
But it wasn’t. It’s pure unadulterated whiskey soaked gas craicery that was penned in notepad and simply titled:
“The King’s Castration”
I can see why he didn’t publish it here previously, but I think it would be a crying shame if it wasn’t published now. I’m 71% sure it’s the right thing to do.
So, in the next day or two I’ll publish it, perhaps in two or three parts as it’s so epic it deserves its own miniseries.
100% go for it (finders keepers)
Looking forward to it.
Your father wanted it to be found.Sometime. He knew all about the immortality (barring a total failure of civilization) of anything put onto a computer.
You have whet my appetite. Another Puckoon perchance?
Publish, and be damned !
Looking forward to reading!
“Twas the Night of the King’s Castration…”
Something like that?

A coronation!
I said that I wanted a coronation.
This is exciting.. Grandad’s final words here have been set up to slowly trickle into your eyeballs over the weekend.
Look though, it should be said that small children should be sent out of the room before viewing what’s to come. It is surprisingly Not Safe For Work in the most colourful way.
The first installation shall be at midday GMT tomorrow, the 25th June.
Good luck.
