1. This is pretty cool.

   Don’t you love the 640px width of the posting area?

2. I love it more than I can say. It’s awesome not to have to compress stuff. Things like this need scope to speak. I cannot thank you enough for the layout; I got YET ANOTHER compliment today about it!

3. This is such a wonderful cartoon site. I posted one (in ur reality) on my blog the other day after someone sent Nog a t-shirt with another ‘kitty related’ xkcd cartoon on it.

   Not sure if I should admit to this publicly but often when I’m out and about I’m also thinking “oh, I’ve got to blog about this!”.

   Reminds me a bit of a documentary I once saw about tourists – the kind that don’t actually experience their holiday travels until they get home and can watch the videos. I hope I’m not quite that far gone yet…

4. That’s exactly how I felt today, except my car is goosed so I had to walk, and I live in a shit sheep shagging place. The dog is old and my mother whinges if I take it out coz it comes back limping.

   I walked into Morpeth (google it if you want to see where I live), had 2 coffee’s, read the economic news in the Telegraph, met my mate after his swim and had a chicken pasty before walking home the scenic route.

   Now here I am online as usual, but TV is getting really shit in the UK. Boris’s site is goosed, either that or I’m barred. Some of the stuff that ‘victor1’ was posting was starting to look like the sort of internal email jokes that probably get banded around the houses of parliament. You think I riled anyone?

5. I think victor is either batshit insane or a troll trying to bait people into making statements that can then be quoted in the press as “a Boris supporter claimed…” As I’ve said before, there are some fine people with exceptional minds on that site, but they’re getting to be an exception, aren’t they?

   And the site is not infrequently borked. Send Melissa an email and tell her; she usually gets things fixed.

   Az, I, too, am always thinking “I need to blog this” and even emailing myself reminders from my phone. I just, and I mean JUST figured out how to post straight from the phone, so that should help prevent a lot of that preoccupation, I think. Shall try and report back.

   xkcd appears to be conquering the entire world. Let them bump off the lolcats and I’ll be happy.

6. What the fuck are ‘xkcd’ and ‘lolcats’ when they are at home?

   Once this election thingy kicks off I predict that Boris’s site will end up like Webcameron did – a hellhole of 9/11 truth people.

   What’s wrong with being batshit insane anyway? I’m batshit insane!

7. No, you’re not. You’re just drunk. Different.

   I do hope the forum gets some fresh blood. What’s there is going rancid, and I include myself in that. We need some thinkers, and we need fewer xenophobic ranters. Why is there political extremism? Perhaps because of some of the attitudes displayed in that thread.

8. There are so many things that happen in the course of a day that make me stop and think, “I am sooo blogging that.”
   Great strip. Looks like an interesting site as well.

9. It’s weird: three weeks ago nobody had heard of these guys, now they’re more popular than Cheezburger!

    I’m dying to try that but first I have to find out how expensive it is for me to go online using my mobile. It would certainly help pass the time on the dreaded exercise bike at the gym.

11. http://m.wordpress.com
    It’s not that expensive, actually, for short posts or picture posts. Thank GOD I got the cameraphone. I get all kinds of neat things that way.

12. You’re right raincoaster. I shall sober up and knock myself into shape.

13. Well if you stop drinking you’ll have more money to take women out so that’s a plus.

14. This really is a great layout. I like it lots.

15. Thanks! Me too. Even on my crappy 800×600 screen it looks faboo!

16. I’ve stopped the fags, thats a start. I’ve stayed off the drink today and got prescribed some sleeping tablets, so I don’t go batshit insane from sleep deprivation. I think I’m going to have to give the blogging a rest too.

    I get bombarded with enough propaganda from a government I regard as dishonest about the evils of drinking and smoking. Then I spend all evening on the beer, wine or whisky listening to idlex try and persude me that smoking and drinking are actually good for me. It’s a batshit insane way to spend your life, but I’ve had a pretty shit time for the last year or so.

    Our civil service have finally got round to drafting up the laws they are going to use to harmonise fair trading in the EU. I wrote my dissertation on this directive, I’m going to brush up on it, work out how to prevent bureaucrats using this new legislation to goose up all the jobs of the people that pay the taxes that pay their wages, then go try sell myself in the capitalist labour markets. I might pop by and say hello from time to time.

    The world is a funny place and if I continue on like this the scrapheap is beckoning. I don’t need to spend all my time pestering the politically active.

    On the bright side I’ve learned a lot about politics from all this blogging.

17. Well you could always get a job with the Tories. They know fuckall about the internet, as you’ve seen, and they pay incredible amounts of money. Didn’t Guido once expose one of them as paying the equivalent of $45/hour 40 hours a week for basically one blog post per week? It’s a scam.

    If you stay off the drink and can find me the contact info for the local papers and source a classroom with computers in it (maybe from a Welfare-to-work organization), I have a part-time job for you. The pay is good, it’s not hard work, and there’s a possibility of working from home.

    Also: it’s legal! Imagine that!

18. I have a job that pays OK thankyou, it is legal, I know all the loopholes! It keeps the economy going, it keeps share prices from crashing and goosing everyones pensions.

    My bonus will be over £500 this month, that’s only my third month there. Next month I expect it to be £600 or even more. If I work as hard as I can and stay away from the coffee machine I could be looking at a grand on top of my grand basic.

    In the meantime I’m going to tout myself to these firms that set up diligence systems for con-merchants like my multi-national employer – I’ve been a poacher and a gamekeeper – I reckon that’s a good selling point.

19. Then, Steven, what the HELL are you complaining about?
