Dreamy Words

Because of the media’s strictly enforced rules against nepotism, I rarely promote the work of those people I consider to be as much family as friends. I’ve made it my lot in life to always sneak in a link to Stephen Fry’s blog, whatever the topic of the day’s post, but that is merely a professional courtesy towards the man who helped save Ronnie Corbett’s golf swing from his shattered walnuts.

However, it’s not nepotism but humility that prevents me from directing your attention to the newest blog on my blogroll. Not only because I had a small hand in the blog’s design but because long-time reader Selena Dreamy says good things about me. Far be it for me to encourage you to make Selena’s blog a regular drive by on your circuit around the neighbourhood.

Fly, my pretties… Fly!

...directing your attention to the newest blog on my blogroll!

I wish I could return the compliment. But the link to Richard Madeley in the sidebar of my own blog regrettably leads to the following: “The requested URL was not found on this server”.

Has my blog been sabotaged by alien infiltrators, or was this a case of serious self-mutilation. On the evidence available, I incline to the latter. When I came across tonight’s Richard & Judy show, there he was: looking for all the world like a London socialite after a glorious night of cocktails and champagne....

Say no more....

Whoever set up your blogroll was a completely incompetent fool for spelling my name wrong. I demand that you fire them immediately, Selena and find a proper web guru.

And is she dreamy?

I can only guess why you have chosen Ms Selenas blog for this promotion whilst avoiding even mentioning a certain loyal canine friend...

Betwalda, more than you could ever know... And she's a lovely dancer.

Mutley, there are obvious reasons why I'm promoting her blog, not the least that I helped her decorate. I'm also open to bribes, so you only need do something to pander to my ego and I usually respond in some way.

I wish someone would help *me* decorate... :(

Oh well, I'll figure this html business out sooner or later.

Ax, you know that you only need to ask. I thought your blog looks fine but if you want to give it the Madeley touch, I'm happy to do something with a skull to make it look more gothic.
