Slow on the uptake...




It's apparently International De-Lurking Week (well I think technically it's National DLW but I find national boundaries too restrictive in this era of globalisation...) and I've only just realised.

So, delurk (all three of you) and show yourselves. As an added incentive, I will donate real money to charity - £1 per visitor who shows themselves by the end of this weekend. The worthy cause is the Asian Earthquake Appeal. Hell, since it's only the three of you, I'll probably make it more.

Just let me know your name or alias and approximately where in the world you live. Why you bother frequenting this page with its introspective drivel would also intrigue me but since that might expose you to ridicule, you can leave that out.

So, do your bit for "Charideee" and de-lurk.

Enjoy...

Greetings from New York,
and thanks for all the... er... new English phrases ("jammy bastard" is a favorite, up there in my version of Depraved and Insulting English (http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=0156011492) with "profligate libertine" and "bloody wanker").

You have a great blog, don't worry about the lurkers, some people are just too shy to post, but you do have lots of readers and fans!

Dear All,

Thanks for de-lurking. It is a pleasure to have you all here.

OK, I make that 20 ex-lurkers (or regulars who commented).

I'll stick £1,000 into the DEC appeal - £50 a head. You can't say fairer than that.

Late, as always...Texas here. No, I am not a fan of George Bush. If he were devoured by worms a la Herod in the Bible I would be pleased as punch. I read because you amuse me, and I admire your struggle with fidelity. It's given me some insight into that struggle. I admire your honesty quite a bit. It's also fun as my mother was from Oxfordshire and I enjoy listening to a bloke, especially one so full of himself. ;)
