Scorched Earth Bloggers

Over at the England Project, John has realised he’s a Scorched Earth blogger. It’s a grouping of people who’ve had enough of politicians who excel at being, well, politicians.
I don’t really write enough about politics to be a political blogger, but if you’re of that persuasion, go over there and give it a look.
I’ve tried […]

Memetics

( Misc. and Blog Stuff )

I must not pass on memes. Memes are the mind-killer. Memes are the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the meme… And when I have answered Sasha’s questions about music, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the meme is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Sorry, […]

Going Dutch

I was in the Netherlands recently (you didn’t really think the Real Ale Festival lasted that long, did you?) and I loved the country. An undeniable positive is that as the population is so tall, the busses and trains have been designed with seats with enough legroom for me. I also managed to be in […]

Downtime…

Public Notice. My brain will be closed for essential maintenance during the next few days, hence there’ll be no new posts during that time. Of course, there haven’t been that many posts for a while anyway and what has been written was, let’s face it, rubbish.
A few days rest and relaxation, that’s what my neurons […]

Anonymity

As another blogger gets fired for, well, being a successful blogger – I find myself worrying about the degree of anonymity required to write a blog. I mean, if writing anecdotes can get petite sacked for gross misconduct, can I get done for harassing pharmacists?
“Ah,” I hear you say, “but you said successful blogger.” Quite. […]

Language Week 2006

Last year I agreed to, and then sort of acted on srah’s (I bet that’s not the name (s)he was Christened with) Language Week; The idea being to blog in a language other than the one normaly used on your blog.
I’m tempted to use the kind of German I normally use for the “German word […]

Friday Five

( Misc. and Blog Stuff and Day 2 Day )

General laziness rules today, so just random crap incredibly interesting links….
1. The Friday Thing, who are wonderful people and send out a highly amusing e-mail every, er, Friday disappointed me somewhat today by referring to this as a “Mind Fuck”. No it isn’t. Adding the individual digits of any two digit number together and then […]

Banning The English Flag At Inactualfact

(Agency) Mild controversy was raging at the editorial office of inactualfact last night after the department for lentil-eating, sandals and socialism called for the English flag to be banned from the website’s pages because, “of its strong links to right-wing extremism.”
“Nonsense”, the English Affairs spokesman is reported to have said, “whilst we’re proud to fly […]

The Stereo MCs’ Comeback Tour*

I could pretend that I’ve spent the past month or two researching British society and how it has changed, rather than blogging – this would be true. Sort of. I have been wandering around asking, “What the hell is that all about?” a lot. More pertinently, I’ve been lacking any kind of internet connection. Admittedly, […]
