This is yet another reslap, a look back at what was happening on our pages this time last year. It's fun to look back at Slap the Penguin 12 months ago and see how much better the writing was.
I hope you have fun trawling the archives. We are fast approaching our 3rd anniversary and have recently passed the 500 post mark so there is a lot of old stuff to wade through. I know you will find it worthwhile if you give it a chance.
(HINT: click the titles to read the full story). |
