Blogging, the final frontier
So,
People I've always considered even more techno-phobic and t'internet illiterate than me have been talking about their blogs in the pub (a far more appropriate and convenient forum for most of the musings I intend to waste your time with here incidentally...) which made me, quite simply, envious.
Not in a kind of burning up with hatred way - just in a "Mum, why's Callum got a ....[Ewok village, Mountain Bike, Massive stash of illegal* substances under his mattress] and I haven't?" way.
But since my entire existence is ruled by such petty competitiveness and insecurities you can blame them for this - my new blog. I'm kind of semi anonymous for the moment - although anyone who knows me would spot it a mile off - since I'm pretty new to it all and I want to blame any errors and so on on someone else if at all possible. Whoever is most appropriate at the time.
Seems fair to me. Anyway, welcome, and enjoy.
Cheers,
Pickles
*just to clarify that last was for comic effect and an in-joke between myself and acquaintances of of the mighty Callum and a post-ironic comment on how childhood friends change. I have never been envious of his massive stash of illegal substances...and he hasn't got one so nobody grass him up. Names changed for legal reasons.

When did the kinnock quote get added to the top?
I have only just noticed it and realised the significance of name of your random blog -
Although given that Rambo and I performed said speech as a duet approximately 76 times during our most hysterical period (including on the top of a welsh mountain, and in a pair of scuttling taxis in Liverpool), I really should have recognised it earler.
But anyway, I believe one is also to be discouraged from playing politics with peoples homes.

I think also no matter how satisfying to short term egos or wahtever one shouldn't play politics etc - but there's a 500 character limit on the sub-heading bit so I cut the bits people usually forget...
