Nice beaver! Well that nice man Dave (what else could he be with a name like that?) has awarded me an "E for excellent" award. Now I am painfully aware that this meme started an age ago but it is nice to be appreciated. So I thought I would reciprocate. All of the blogs are on my roll other there ----> so I won't bother linking again. Feel free to send it on if you're on the list, or not... but if you do send it on can you let me know in the comments - cheers.

Edit: Damn a late entry for the use of the phrase "To the best of my knowledge, the last 'jumper' to use this trainline ended up with his head a good mile away from his feet." goes to My Thoughts Exactly for this post.

Cheers Mr Beaver.

Oh and the Britblog Roundup is here which includes a link to this.

Chameleon adds these sage words...

Poons of the eponymous blog uncovers an instance of hypocrisy here. Without wishing to become embroiled in a dispute I have not followed, I have to agree with Tim Ireland of Bloggerheads, who urges us not to hand over ammunition to our numerous detractors: “We have to individually lead by example…and not be afraid to challenge bloggers who present themselves as the leaders of blogging when they set a very poor example.

Otherwise no-one will take any of us seriously, and the old media will continue to get away with dismissing personal contributions to the blogosphere while they themselves try to muscle in on the action while following the poorer example themselves. (Take, just for example, the rather self-serving comment moderation policies of most major newspapers)”.

There are attacks on our freedom of speech aplenty, let’s not poison the atmosphere ourselves by threatening each other with libel suits, which simply plays into the hands of those who would take delight in muzzling us.
