An Alternative State of British Parent Blogging 2009

This is sort of a response to a recent post over at A Modern Mother called The Sate of British Mummy Blogging 2009 and predictions for 2010. It shouldn’t be interpreted as an attack however. Just an alternative point of view. And I promise I’m not sulking just because she said “Mummy [...] Read more »

Hurrah, its Lee and Dan’s Midnight Movie Club!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very pleased to declare that our new nostalgic pop-culture blog Lee and Dan’s Midnight Movie Club is now officially open for business.
The first film we’re looking at this week is the classic late seventies Bond movie Moonraker. In our review I advocate genocide, Lee rants about space shuttles, [...] Read more »

Could I just point your attention towards…

Just as humans evolved from apes, blogging evolved from lists of links. And while it’s nice to have speech, art, and tools at our disposal; sometimes it’d be fun to shed all our clothes and swing about in the trees for a while.
There’s been something missing from my feed reader for quite a while [...] Read more »

A bit of euphoria about blogging

On Saturday Kerry, Amy, Evan and I headed down to London for the weekend courtesy of those nice people at Think Parents. Yes, an all expenses paid weekend in London. With trains and hotels and meals and everything. I know – mad isn’t it.
Over the past couple of months my blogging world [...] Read more »

Long, but interesting.

I’m not doing a TV theme tune quiz this weekend. My job has been incredibly busy recently and I haven’t had the chance to blog on work’s time. I’m thinking of putting in a complaint to my manager.
However, if you have the time, take a look at this. It’s an hour long, [...] Read more »

In which the blog goes all interactive

A little bit of housekeeping today. I wondered if you could give me your oppinion on a couple of things:
