I just looked back at this Blog and realised I’ve been paying to own the davedawsonhaswaytoomuchtimeonhishands.com domain each year but haven’t written anything for 5 years. This post brought to you by that realisation – and also that I heard it from the magnificent Stephen Fry which makes it a duty to pass on.
Turns out the Spanish Inquisition was a kind of religious audit process for which they always gave one month’s notice.
Everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition in fact.
I do even start to question whether the other Python sketches were all made up too
There – next update to follow in 2026

Hi Greg – fantastic to hear from you after all these years
How are you anyway? Are you settling into having a sentient being for a President out there for a change?
Shouldn’t make assumptions about these things I suppose, but I can’t see you would ever have been a Trumpster.

If I tell you how happy I was to read your message, would that encourage you to write some more?! Monsieur Dawson, it is your duty to share your sarcasm and joie de vie with the rest of us. Por favor!

Hi Nathalie – really fantastic to hear from you. I spent a minute then trying to figure out who on earth nanoushka was. Clearly someone I knew as flitted between French and Spanish in a Dawson-esque fashion..
How are you anyway? Where are you in fact?
Site stats (that I also haven’t looked at for 5 years) showed someone accessed from somewhere in the vaguely Middle East or Africa area recently, so I’m guessing you’re probably in Sudan
