A philosophical question
If a Norman Johnson column falls down in the woods - and no blogger is there to hear it - does anybody still get it? God knows, it sails gratifyingly over my head the weeks I’m bored enough to read it.

I wouldn’t worry. It’s a shockingly unfunny rewrite of Rod Liddle’s column in the Sunday Times last week…
Hang on then. So, he’s moved on from spoofing something the vast majority of Guardian readers don’t read to spoofing something the vast majority of Guardian readers don’t read?
Wouldn’t the Guardian be better served by putting an advert in that space?
You’d have thought so…
What struck me about that column was all those references to “Norm’s Place”. My theory, which is mine, is that it’s actually Seumas Milne trying to drive Norm [G] and “Harry” insane by satirising them without ever writing anything they actually disagree with. Fiendish. Not interesting, particularly, but fiendish.
