Blog on the Move

The overnight DNS server shift has not yet completed. Some ISPs will lag behind others but it will propagate across the entire world wide web eventually. It is Sunday, the blog is closed until Monday. There are clear blue skies over Wexford this morning, suspect it may be the same where you are too. Switch off the laptop and get out into the sunshine…

    I’ll drink to the changes, before New Labour steal more of my cash in increased booze prices to fund their client voter base (it’s not the price of booze, it’s the shit people New Labour breed that is the cause of the UK’s booze problem).

    While its quiet I would just like to remind people that in the absecence of any othe information I also still remain a total utter Hoon.

    Is there a term for committing suicide by Blog?

      Anonymous says:

      It’s not that bad. Just needs a few tweaks; a preview; word verification to keep out the bots; some way of flagging new comments, which can now appear anywhere instead of where they used to be just above the comment box.

      The term for committing suicide by Blog is Dollycide, and he’s already done it.

    o/t but is the proposed price hike on booze merely a smoke screen to steal more money in tax because they have spunked everything and more up the wall already?

    £2,000,000,000,000 used to be quite a lot of money until they thought up quantitative easing says:

    For a moment I thought “Dolly” had succeeded in wiping “Guido” from the face of the “blogosphere” and that he dis-appeared into the great ethernet void.

    P.S.

    In the interim Gordon is still “fucking up” the economy; the unbiased and impartial BBC is avoiding having any Conservatives to balance Labour’s spin on either Marr or the Politics Show and a “senior spokesperson” in Obama Administration admits they screwed up big time on the recent visit to Washington by Brown when they gave him a box set of 25 DVDs they meant to give him the “double box set” – “Hollywood Greatest Hits” Parts 1 AND 2 and that it won’t happen again as Obama will be briefed on the correct protocol for meeting HM in London in April where he will give her equerry the boxed set not her personally

      Yeah, me too. The paranoia gland was working overtime. Is it Guido they’ve got, I wondered, or have they shot down my PC? I even started to compose a craven apology to Jacqboots and MacSnotgobbler with an appeal to let me back on line………but then realised that there is a price too high to pay.

    So, government is proposing to effectively double the price of cans of lager bought in supermarkets all in the name of “social responsibility”. Is there nothing this bankrupt government won’t tax to death?

      Anonymous says:

      Govt sources have made it very clear, short of putting that wanker Liam Donaldson up against the wall with a blindfold and a last fag, that this massively unpopular idea will not be implemented. The effect on general election prospects was mentioned.

      The BBC on the other hand is uncritically in favour of it for some reason, giving us the nannyish views of some fucktard liver specialist, totally unbiased of course, who finally admitted he drank wine of the 3 bottles for 10 quid variety, slightly buggering up his credibility.

    Ah. You’re back. For a while there the only way to reach the blog was via http://5thnovember.blogspot.com/, which was still up; I imagine that the chaps at LabourList are disappointed that the absence wasn’t permanent.

    Surprisingly the weather is sunny and warm in the south of England, where I have just watched a bunch of fools running the Bath half marathon. Also, if you’re ever in the vicinity of Bath Spa station, check out the lady who serves behind the counter on platform two (towards London). She has the kind of superstructure that deserves to enter folk legend.

    Get out into the sunshine? Ah! If only I could! Six articles to write for a client, plus loads of other stuff for my own websites.

    Still, it is good to be doing something to bring income in, in Brown’s Britain!

    BESIDES – being the kind of people we are, we av buggered all working pleasures – apart from a good shag – but we’re working on it.

    But I digress. Smokin gone, booze going, – the old style working men would av strung us up. But not this poncy lot! OH NO DUCKY! I really lean to the left, – kno wot oi mean?

    Anyway, just off round the back of the bike shed for a quick one.

    Ruth Kelly's plaything says:

    First impression, Guido, is that I like the new format (whilst reserving the right to assume my normal mien of miserable, negative criticism at will).

    Rather taken aback by the large-print format in ‘leave a comment’ box. Whilst I’m getting on, I don’t yet need the visual equivalent of a Zimmer frame. If this feature is universal, it could cause embarrassment for those of your correspondents who post on the firm’s computer during working hours – research (ie me walking backwards across room) proves it can be read at ten paces.
