The donations page on Wiki looks like people have found a new religion.
All hail the Wiki.
Or maybe it’s a “please put my comment on the front page so I can tell all my mates”
Please. Wiki isn’t even reliable, and I try never to pay for anything that isn’t reliable.
I don’t have one.
I tried it and hated it.
It kills relationships, it doesn’t develop them.
It’s killing blogs.
I Hate Facebook.
My haiku for the day.
M’lud…..it was criminal damage to an hamburger.
What a country.
Why is it there seems to be an abundance of classic fiction forums on the net, and many more that stick with “general” fiction and non fiction (keeping it broad, in other words) but bugger all and/or silence where crime fiction is concerned?
No, I don’t wanna start my own. I’ve been down that road before, I just don’t have the time.
It’s shocking how this genre is ignored, is it seen as inferior in some way? Is it embarrassing to admit that you like Minette Walters, Reginald Hill, Colin Bateman, Mike Ripley….I could go on (I always do), the list isn’t exhaustible, besides I’m tired and can’ts thinks no more. Just a bit frustrated today methinks.
Okay, hands up, I admit it. I have to laugh at the Darwin Awards, the FAIL blog, INAD blog and the YSaC blog, ’cause it seems to me we like nothing better than the satisfaction of knowing that out there, in the big, bad world, there are people with a lower IQ, or worse luck, than we have.
But when I catch snatches of second rate stuff such as Big Brother, X Factor, <insert country here>’s Got Talent, I am somewhat saddened by the fact that we all seem to rejoice in someone else’s FAILURE. The UK just smiled when England won the Ashes, when Murray won another Tennis cup, and Button or Hamilton won another Grand Prix. But this just isn’t British is it, winning? Neither, it seems, is it particularly inspiring in the U.S. of A.
No wonder kids are not inspired to strive to win, they get better publicity by FAILING.
In an attempt to improve my written communication, courtesy of the GOP (Grand Old Company) I am learning grammar.
It’s doing my head in.
After that.
Like..wow…
Go Fed.
Went to Chester today - would you believe it, for the first time - for an interview with an agency I’ve registered with.
I saw it as a good omen - if I ever believed in such things, which I don’t - so let’s just say it raised my spirits to see three Angels in the town centre, two on trumpets (don’t know enough about brass to tell you if they were B flat or not) and one on accordion, blasting out ‘My Way’. There wasn’t much in the cap that was on the ground, but they were clearly enjoying themselves, the kind of group Fitzroy would have approved of, the Keep Music Live brigade and sod if we’re not really that good.
Such visits to relative civilisation, Llandudno I suppose being the closest place with more up market shops, but Chester has more so, this could get me thinking am I really the country mouse that I believe myself to be?
Yes - I don’t think I could last more than a couple of weeks in a major town now, think I’m used to my blood pressure being somewhat lower than before.
