The Linking

First off I should have mentioned a long time ago that fellow fnorter Matt has a weblog and he too can see fnorts. (As usual Stray Toaster beats me to the punch but you just cacn’t compete with the financial muscle of his organisation. There’s an entire team of monkeys writing his stuff.) Also, Ganching is added to the list and Letter to America (both of whom link to slugger, which beats me. Slugger is the demagogue of weblogs people.)

Finally, some lunatic at work had the idea of forcing some people to write weblogs so they could get a better knowledge of the web. To that end please say hello to Blond Chick who may or may not have said when presented with my home site, “But this isn’t a real website, is it?”.
Be nice, encourage and educate.

Yeah, I know I link to Slugger - I used to find a lot of comedy value there - but now it just depresses me.

Ms. Blondie.

I would love to comment on your site, but you won’t allow me. (Note: I am more house trained than swm.)

Caravan of love? Handbags at dawn more like it!

Demagogue: a leader who tries to stir the passions of people for their own purposes; person who manipulates public emotions to gain power or popularity

Stephen, that is downright nasty. However, whilst I defend your right to say it, it would go a lot further than a playground insult if you were in the least able to stand it up.

I know you love Northern Ireland. That much is obvious from your beautiful photography. But there are darker things going on that are themselves worthy of the passion of ordinary folk, and which are better brought out and discussed by those who care than buried or hidden from view.

Now if you don’t want to link to Slugger, I will not feel offended in the least. I respect your position. Indeed, if you feel passionately enough to start a campaign against it, then be my guest.

But if you’re going to get personal, then just be prepared to take the gloves off in future.

    Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it.
  • Little Miss Sunshinerating
    Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way.
  • Laputa: Castle in the Skyrating
    Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool.
  • Porco Rossorating
    Stylish, funny, exciting.
  • Grave of the Firefliesrating
    Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good.
  • Nausicaä of the Valley of the Windrating
    The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging.
  • X-Men: The Last Standrating
    Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
