A splendid new issue of ThursdayAgain (#148) has slipped unnoticed into your life, ready to help you cope with what you had laughingly assumed to be your private little problems.
The general feedback on the new ThursdayAgain motif has been pleasingly positive, it was created by the superb artist Thomas Luth & used with kind permission (he's at www.thomasluth.com). The previous logo, Hugo, is now retired & keeping bees in Sussex. Thanks for sharing your opinions.
This week all the videos should play on iPads, iPods & iPhones, but please let me know if you have any problems; a word of warning - the new format videos do not load quite as quickly as before...... I'm still working on it.
This issue's delights include a further (& final) look at some examples of t-shirt messaging that might replace Twitter as the medium of choice for those with little to say; although better translations might help. The "Just Folks" page this week is given over to pictures from this year's tattoo event in Budapest, it's amazing what people with too much time on their hands can get up to & what they'll do to their bodies in the name of art (or whatever).
There is no "Sign of the Times" page this week as, to be honest, I'm utterly bored with it after more than two years of trying to find something new each week; what I have added this week is a series of pictures of some of the most impossibly thin homes you could imagine, culled from the streets of various Japanese cities, they're on "Squeezed". This week also includes a look at some of the oddest toilets from around the world - never let it be said that ThursdayAgain is anything other than thorough in its quest to amuse, educate & inform!
In issue 148 I am fairly certain that, as always, something will offend some readers (& some of you do try so hard....) so please use the contacts & complaints page to express your enormous, yet surely righteously justified, displeasure & outrage at the continued abuse of good taste, the disdain for personal delicacy & the blasphemous ridicule of the "Immanent Will" of whichever god you pray to.
Obviously you will become (if possible) an even more gorgeous, sophisticated & intelligent person who is infinitely more attractive to the opposite sex (or the same sex, juveniles, judges, Jesus, angels or animals if they're your thing) simply by reading issue 148 but if you want to complain (*sigh*), congratulate, contribute or just remind the universe that you are here - please use the contact & complaints page. You will get an answer to your message!
Thanks for the feedback & have a good week.
