Ian Dale - what a very nice man!
Thanks to Gert and Patrick H my attention was drawn to an entry on Ian Dale's website (Ian Dale is apparently an influential conserviate - I have seen his name numerous times in the blogosphere) listing his top 100 presumably british left wing blogs. A scan of the attached pdf file and lo and behold the Poor Mouth is there at number 67. I am not sure what to make of this given that I don't dwell much on hard political issues and when I do I tend to be a bit of a pessimist. Hiho, now for something on Banksy...
Jams, The Blogging Superstar!
ReplyDeleteAh well, at least I can say I knew you when.......
Hardly a superstar! I was surprised to see this blog on the list!
ReplyDeleteI already earmarked my blog link to you to preserve your blogging triumph.
ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks ewbl.. I am not sure what it says about the other leftwing blogs in the UK if I can make it on the list!!!
ReplyDeleteI say better leftwing than chicken wing.
ReplyDeleteThere's no meat on a chicken wing and leaves one feeling unsatisfied.
Ah my child if one eats a hundred chicken wings one would feel satisfied but with greasy hands... Damn, I will never make it as a guru
ReplyDeleteCB? I am not sure I know that one
ReplyDeleteConfucius say: One who eats hundred chicken wings shall be culpable for chicken extinction and plugged toilet.
ReplyDeleteI think that's what my fortune cookie said last time I ate Kung Pao Chicken down at the Jaded Dragon.
Or at least stump up for prosthetic ones for the avian amputees!!
ReplyDeleteOne cannot properly perform the chicken dance without the usage of ones wings.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay to experiment and have a lot of different partners.......on the dance floor.
