[i]remind me what a "blog" is, and what it's purpose is [/i]

Not so long back, if you wanted to be famous by writing stuff about day to day events, you had to go to journalist school, then spend 5 years writing bylines on cat deaths and bike thefts. If you were lucky and had big knockers or knew the editor, you could then move onto a column on page 7 about councilers skimming the petty cash. After 20 years in the game, a huge ulcer, a 40 fag and a bottle a day habit, you might find yourself on the front page for a couple of years, before you died and were forgotten forever.

Nowadays, any cock with an internet connection can create a 'blog' for free if they like, write about banal shite and become popular and well known without expending any real effort. I get thousands of hits a month on my site, and it's ****ing crap. All I do is write about how I did this ride and then this other ride. Sometimes I'll bitch about something completely unimportant like my phone bill or some **** who cut me up and the hits will peak at a thousand a week.

Bonkers, absolute bonkers but that's why people have blogs and that's what they do.

I thought it was something like that.

A waste of space then 😉
