Shaggy Blog Stories
It’s charidee time once again and Mike is calling for submissions to an ambitious (but easily achievable) project in aid of Comic Relief. The idea is simple: to put together a book of humourous posts from UK blogs and get it published for sale before this Friday. So if you know of any funny, well written posts that you’ve written or have read elsewhere, send them to Mike before 6PM tomorrow, Tuesday 13th March. More details can be found here.
Right, that’s my job done with only purchase of said book left to do. Nope, not submitting anything - 1) I’m a miserable old fucker so posts here will be humourless rather than humourous, 2) I’m publicity shy (especially after that incident with the call girl and the wombat) and 3) I can’t stand being rejected and if Mike “Simon Cowell” Diva doesn’t find my submission amusing, I’ll probably have to do something drastic like, I don’t know, start taking the Daily Mail as a regular newspaper.

I have looked through my archives, and as expected found nothing that could really be described as funny. I’d like to think that a reader suitably in tune with my dry humour might chuckle in the right places, but never have I actually written anything that is actually ‘funny’ in any useful way.
So I’m just buying the book too.

I think taking up the Daily Mail would have to a last act before death kinda thing - because surely you wuold want to die after dirtying your hands with that rag?
Know what you mean thought about finding funnies. Everything I have is just a link to someone else being far funnier…

I happen to know that I’ve written some very very funny things but only either as business requirements or blogposts in my head that never got published.
And yes, I’d only start taking the Daily Mail if I expected an overdose of strychnine not to be up to the job.
