If you are not sure who Paul the psychic Octopus is, you must be living under a rock, and this rock must not be located in a small aquarium in Germany. In which case I will treat you with compassion for your unbelievable levels of ignorance and post a link to a video of Paul in action below.

Unfortunately its true. In the need to get a deposit together to buy a house (thanks to the GFC) I have made the decision to sell Scribblescratch. Hopefully the new owner will keep me on as a writer.

A simple guide to remove the tag “META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” from your wordpress blog and a lesson in logical troubleshooting that will save you plenty of time in the future.
