please empty your brain below

Writing this kind of highly plausible memorandum-ese comes to you far too easily, DG.

In view of this and your recent performance appraisal entry, I'm wondering what occupation you have in real life.

that was quite acute, DG!!
although a bit quite ironic, you're right in most of your reasonings. keep up the good work!

Now, can we help you to comply?

I can supply cute kitten photos galore (no dogs, promise) and a picture of the knitted cushion cover I'm just finishing after a whole year making it...

But you're on your own with Canada and military... or are you?

*thinks* hmmm, niche market, must set up a rival canadian military kitten knitting blog immediately....

Excellent.. about time. More Canadian kittens knitting that's what we need.

You can't downsize now! You're up for a Bloggie!!!

Love your sardonic humour btw.

*takes notes*

Knitted Canadian kittens being made to fight for their country every now and then. Sounds like a gripping read.

xlent, DG!

Ant - I don't think you should mention knitted kittens as the same thing could be said about knitting blogs as could be said for London blogs

BTW - I did sooooo hope that your first link was a real link DG - I would have loved to have seen a site about blog rationalisation. We've seen sites on Blog Apathy and Blog Depression so why not Blog Rationalisation

Another cracker. I’m more than curious as to what your daytime job is?. My money is on personnel-oops sorry-H.R.

dg in HR?

I don't believe that anyone who works in HR could possibly write gibberish with a deliberate hint of irony.

please, no!

Love,
wishes-she-were-an-ex-pat-yank!

Is this some kind of obtuse resignation?

I'm a fledgling blogger with a taste for the irrelevant and wondered if you could give me any tips? Apart from the obvious "learn to write" or "press delete immediately" type things?

your most humble servant

dirty lobster

dear dirty lobster

1) be patient
2) don't be afraid to be different
3) if you want to get noticed, don't merely comment on what everybody else is writing, but try to write something which is worth reading (and linking to)
4) be patient!!

Thanks for your suggestions, DG. I think I can do nos 1, 2 and 4, but no. 3 is undeniably a problem - how do you know if something is worth reading? For example, [excuse shameless advertising] my blog (see homepage)?
