I am discovering what Sarah means about posting in the evening on Blurty. Oh - hang on - it's done it now. Took about five minutes. I might go and hunt down some brats myself .... do you get so much a tail?

No, but the Abuse Team love you, and since the friend I mentioned who's on the said Abuse Team is Patrick of the many recipes, that ought to be a good enough incentive! (Quiet about it on the site, if you would - he doesn't shout about it. Thanks.)

Tips for teenie-hunting can be found if you go and join a community called over18 (click on the link in my userinfo).

Meh. My pedantism says no it is not. A blog is a online news digest, a proper blog should be links to online news and events. A journal is something different, it being by nature more personal and less linky. Yes. Moo.

Well, it might have started like that, and of course many people do put links to news and events in their blogs, but gradually the personal diary element has taken over, so that I think my definition is the more generally understood one. I mean, like, a visit to Cadbury World is so not news, is it?

(And what the plock does phat mean? .... no, no, I don't want to know ... I grew up speaking English and I'd like to keep it that way).

Not to *you* maybe. :p

I do not use the word "phat".

On the subject of blogs: Dante, if you want to read my journal, you'll have to add me to your friends list, you know! I've only just realised that you haven't done so. Sorry about that, but I very rarely get round to checking my userinfo.

(It _is_ Dante who is "pickwick", isn't it?)

I use the word 'phat', but only in a deeply ironic context... I grew up speaking English, but have long since devolved into abusing it...

Shouldn't that comment be simply 'long since devolved'?

OK, PSD, if you use the word, then presumably you know what it means.

Would you like to share the secret with others, or would we regret it if you did?

PHAT: (adj) Enjoyable or loud. Usually applied to a 'choon' or other musical piece. cf 'Bangin', 'top', 'wicked' and 'havin' it large'...

It started as an instruction to DJs - 'roll another fat one', suggesting a possible (as if...) link to drug culture.

Having little skill at writing much of anything, a sudden burst of enthusiasm at reading other's blogs has made me get one too. It's a friends only one though, not ready for the big time, open to all sort of thing.

You can find it at:

[www.blurty.com]

if reading vague bits of illogical musing is of interest. :)

You shall be added... but don't forget to add me back, or you won't be able to see my blog! :-)

(Edit: ah, unnecessary advice... oh well!)
