So I have this weblog, or blog thingamajig. It has been sadly neglected recently. Mostly by me. I don't know if you have been neglecting it, too, largely because I have better things to do with my life than trawling logfiles to see who's been visiting and when.

It seems that since I last posted, back in June with this throwaway entry, the commentage box has had a bit of use. So somebody's reading...

Yay Portsmouth!! But Paul Daniels a celebrity? He's certainly infamous...

Paul Daniels is certainly a celebrity.

Then there was this rather strange comment, which appeared twice...

Nice Site! http://google.com

Google is clearly a very useful site, but I cannot take credit for it. Thanks for sharing the link, though. I'm sure somebody will find it useful!

You may remember me mentioning some spam I received...

Regarding this Mary , from Melbourne ( she writes "Melburne" asking for merchandise to pay using her visa card.

The merchandise she ordered is around U$ 400.00 ,but the courier she recommends , "bringingworld" supposedly in UK, charged over U$ 900.00 to get it to her, and we are supposed to pay the courier .We never heard of "bringingworld" courier , neither did the Google. Now any one can cancel a VISA operation after we pay the U$ 900.00 to the courier . . . It does not seem to be a sound business . All be advised . . .

Clearly, Christopher, it does not seem to be a sound business. Perhaps I didn't state clearly enough that the message was spam. I cannot emphasise enough the first rule of spam prevention: Never reply to spam. And while I'm on the subject, never buy products from spam.

Apparently, the colours of this website were changed automagically on July 4. I'd forgotten that I'd done that.

ARGH MY EYES MY EYES. Thankfully this 4th July thing only comes round once a year. This colour scheme is a tribute....right???? Lou x

Sorry, Lou.

Someone, or some process (more likely) wants us to...

have a nice day!

That's very kind of you. You have a nice day, too!

I have another couple of blog entries brewing, both on new purchases. But they shall have to wait until after I have been bouldering.
