Prick up your eyes...
It feels like a hundred years since I posted! But, apparently, it was considerably longer.
Having recently been dragged kicking and screaming into the present with the new Blogger -- til now I’ve been calling it Beta Blocker cos of its cranky unwillingness to let converts post comments on Classic blogs and vice versa -- I’ve been rummaging around looking for bugs and glitches. (As a sometime software engineer, I know that “early uptake” is for the wealthy, the foolish and the über-nerdy.)
Finally, I found one. In my profile. Check it out. I’m 250 years old.
How did that happen? I missed out on a few parties, I can tell you... not to mention the odd telegram from the Queen! Incomprehensibly, John Howard is still Prime Miniature. Love to see the Dorian Gray painting in his attic. (Ick!) And the greatest greenhouse emission in the 2210s is... John Howard, still bangin’ on about “clean, green” nuke-u-lar power.
Anyway, in my absence, Danny Episode at TV Is Furniture has unsheathed his poison pen once more after an even-more-hefty hiatus than my own. (It was so long, he forgot how to use the software!) Give the guy some hits, he’s feeling lonely and unappreciated.
While you’re at it, take a look at Vlad’s wrap of 2006 at Cowboy Mouth. The man has taste. And he’s seen more of the local stuff than me. (I wholeheartedly disagree with his number one pick... but, hey, opposition is true friendship!)

250, my arse. That is funny. I'm afraid to go into New Blogger in case my little old blog gets eaten by something. I have a Google Account and it won't let me link to posts - so much for new features, Ha...
Funnily enough, Blogger correctly clicked over on my birthday last week. So, now I'm 251. (And it has has preserved my Chinese sign...)
But now I appear to be a full year and a half older than William Blake... (He'll be 250 in December, I think.) And he's responsible for the line about opposition and friendship in the post, above.
251. Happy Birfday.
What happened to you last week, anyhow? did you come by the Exford or not?
Hi Chris, I was looking at your profile today (to find your email address or a link) to find you 251.
A couple of reasons: I posted my comments on Rabbit Hole, my first theatre review (and only the second live performance I've attended). It may interest you (or not). I think I read your review somewhere, but can't find it on your site.
And I'd be interested to follow up on your suggestion of contacting someone at The Big Issue re: film reviews. I think you have my email address, but it's on my blog if you've misplaced it.
BTW, you have your comment settings on default, which shows the time of a post, but not the date (which gives a bit more context to comments). You can easily change this to show date and time, which is helpful when reading comments that have taken place over more than a day.
