I've had a terrible comment spam attack over the past day or so, many of which have got past Blogger's spam filter.
Despite all being from the same Blogger profile, it seems little can be done.
You don't want to be clicking on those links.
It's taken me hours to remove them all. Almost 10,000.
So for a while, I'm sorry, but what else can I do?

Well, there is one god way to deal with this.
Head out for a pint.
Sure, the problem might remain but at east you'll feel better for a bit.
That's ok. I hate spam too.
Spam...........Pah! gets everywhere.
Ugh, sorry to hear that!
I don't mind the word verification. It takes a second and will most likely add years onto your life not having to deal with the spam.
I take it there's no way to block the spammer?
No worries, verification > spam
Thanks for an excellent page
I was always amazed that you didn't have much spam before. Thanks for cleaning it all up, and I agree with The Rat King: Go out and have a pint (or two).
Ten thousand!? I feel for you...
I hereby testify that my words are actually my words and none other than my words.
In order to prove the above sentence I will now type in your random word.
Great site by the way. and the word is......chiges.... but I'll retype it down below so that you get this daft message.
Ratking; you missed an "O"
May your good be with you.
hustesse? Sounds interesting. How old is she?
I don't mind word verification except for the one on facebook that I can't read.
No problem, I just hope it works - some of those spammers have very good character recognition software. If you get any problems, try looking for a plugin that allows you to ask a question which looks for a particular answer. Then all you need to do is ask a question in plain English which humans can understand but machines have terrible trouble with. Something like "what is the 5th word of my blog's name" or "what is 9 plus three?"
At least your verification is easy to read.
