UPDATE - It turns out that I can rename my blog so I have changed it from 'This is England 2010' to 'This is England', being as how it is 2011 and I'm still finding things to say...

I just responded to someone else's blog for the first time in my life, but had to keep on trimming my words down as I exceeded the word limit for comments. I've taken that as a clue that I should start a blog of my own rather than creating one in other people's comments boxes. So if you are reading this piffle, blame Kathryn Daley who has written very intelligently (i.e. I agree with her) about guys, girls and friendship.

As soon as I chose it, I realised that putting the year in the name of your blog is probably rather dumb. On the other hand, I am in England, it's 2010 and after finishing watching Shane Meadows' devastatingly gruelling but outrageously good four part TV serialisation This is England 86 yesterday evening, a tribute seems appropriate.
So beyond being a tribute to Meadow's extraordinary ability to portray English working class culture, I'll pretend this is planned obsolescence and that this blog is just a test to enable me to learn about the practicalities of blogging here.
And if I'm still writing this blog in England 2058. Well, frankly, I'll be surprised as I'll be a 100 years old, which will make me a centenarian, unless I can get a hat like this...
...which would make me a centenarian centurion and the envy of every pensioner in the queue at Eccles' Post Office.
wow, waxing lyrical on teh interweb. I am mucho impressio (I am speaking web latin out of respect for your feathered helmet dude)
ReplyDeletewhat are your thoughts on narcissism?
Narcissism? I detest it in others Cliff. I am just relieved that the combination of my upbringing, genetic heritage and my resulting innate superiority means I am immune to it...
ReplyDeletePreviously, I have kept a diary for the first few days of every year that someone was thoughtful enough to give me a diary for Xmas. I give this blogging lark about the same chance
On ya Zimmer mate........
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I'm happy to take the blame. Agreed that the year in the title may, er, date rather quickly!
