via both BoingBoing and Fark. Some of these are pretty spiffy. I’m relatively sure I used to have these in a booklet; probably a Girl Guide camping manual of some kind, cuz gawd knows I had all that shit. raincoaster was all about the Girl Guiding, until she got into horses.
Hmmm, we’ll see if this works. I actually managed to get fired by someone I had serious blackmail material on…but of course, I shoulda had it on my computer, and not hers. D’oh! I shall be watching this with much interest. Of course, if it actually paid, I’d be applying myself, but I’m done with these “great exposure” jobs. If I want to expose myself, I doubt not that I could find an audience. Which brings us full circle; after all, I still think Tony Blair’s a sexy bitch.
There was Guido thinking that Recess Monkey was the official Labour party blogger, apparently not, since the Labour party is running a competition to find the official blogger for their conference. First prize is free access to the conference. That is a prize? What does the loser get?
“You’ll be given access to all the key speeches and events at Conference and you’ll be blogging from the floor about your experiences.” Guido might even get to meet Prezza!
To enter, all you need to do is email blogatconferenceatnewdotlabourdotorgdotuk detailing your:
* name* address* phone number* blog URL
* and 100 words on why you should be our Conference blogger.We will pick the best, the most innovative and the freshest entry before announcing the winner on Friday 8 September. So good luck and send us a blog!

From : guidodotfawkesatorder-orderdotcomDear Labour Blog Competition,
I would like to be the official Labour party blogger for a laugh.
If you don‘t pick me I will publish a picture of a government minister breaking the law this weekend. Your call.
Regards,
Guido
From Tima, via Cold Desert. In Lebanese war blogger news, Ahmad reports that there have been attempts to hack into his blog account; it’s quite obvious that, since the enemies of truth can’t win with logic or facts, they’ve resorted to crime.
Not making it up. Via Gawker.
I wish I could tell you that this is a tacky parody. Please note that it is appropriate “for ages 4 & up.” I think we can all agree that any commentary I might write seems unnecessary. Yes, we live here. Aum.
Some people do it better than others; better, even, than AA Gill. With a little help from Europeans, that is. EU States Lose, from Logged Hours via Gawker.
