Ah, but you see the Saturday blogging one turned into a survey too..."What are you doing now/today that alows you to read my blog?"

Or ask them what they are doing now? (Besides commenting that is)

You forgot the irony flag. I'll check back here later for a few laughs.

Collecting comments shouldn't be an end in itself, otherwise it becomes like those tragic cases on Facebook ("Caroline has 697 friends")and you'd find yourself turning into Richard Littlejohn or Vanessa Feltz.

...btw thinking of the screen resolution one, have you ever done any analysis of the visitor profile in terms of mac/microsoft, IE7/firefox, location etc?

A little off topic, but with the recent cold snap, is DG still going to work in his shirtsleeves?

I feel that, once he dons a coat, winter will have truly arrived!

if we were all organised and wittier, we'd refuse to comment on this one.

"insult the bastards"

Ah yes, must try that one.

9=) Saturday blogging [51 comments] (22nd September 2007)
How to get comments, Rule 2: Pick a subset of society, preferably a self-righteous subset, and insult them. And then sit back and watch.


I actually roared with laughter at that one. Very nice.

PS. There's nothing wrong with lidl either, cheap fruit and it's decent!

This little excursion back in time made me realise I have been visiting your blog daily for almost two years now, and enjoy it immensely. Must be that long since I had any work to do either....

Hello DG, I just wanted to ask:

[Rule 1] Do you enjoy blogging every day? a) yes, b) no, c) sometimes

[Rule 2] People that blog are a waste of space and should be rounded up and shot, right?

[Rule 3] Happy Birthday

[Rule 4] I bet you don't respond to this comment.

[Rule 5] I'm dead, btw.

Is the irony thing that there are no comments on 9 out of 10 of the posts listed?!?

dg writes: Er, no, but Haloscan is very bad at displaying the correct number of comments on old posts. Very bad indeed.

Just like a tabloid newspaper - keep it simple and get people stirred up.

Can't see the old comments on the Supermarket blog entry - suspect that site has been backed up and restored or that the comments disappear to save space... There was one comment on the page although I think that the count was zero...

"Various American readers then thought we were taking the piss and promptly demonstrated their legendary sense of humor."

Why is it that every time a Brit takes the piss and you respond by giving them some of the same, they immediately accuse you of not having a sense of humor? Ahhh, make that humour.

But if you don't get a lot of comments, do you feel un-read, or just that no one can be bothered to say anything?

"Pick a subset of society, preferably a self-righteous subset, and insult them. And then sit back and watch."

Too true, the only post I have ever got email flame for was about weightlifters when I dared suggest that lifting weights above your head looked silly and made you ...er... follow through.

And last night I dreamed I met you ...
