Recommendations

There are couple of new blogs that I have noticed recently which appeal to my warped sense of humour and which I would like to recommend that you take a look at :

• Buzz Lightweight - The pretentious twaddle of a social wannabe
• F.U. - Prime Minister Francis Urquhart tells us how he will make Britain great again

Also, my pal Old Nick is suffering from lack of nominations on his 'Unforgiven' blog so why not take a look and lend him a hand?

An open letter to Ian Hislop

Dear Ian,

I assume that the comment you published in the Eye issue 1273 is in response to my previous two - unanswered - e-mails regarding the gratuitous filching of material from this blog to help swell the pages of your esteemed journal.

[ For the benefit of readers, this comment read : "Visit our website www.zzz.org and have your say, which we can then put in the newspaper tomorrow in our 'What the Bloggers Say' column, which replaces the old news section which we had to pay people to write." ]

As I have previously stated, I find it flattering that you find my stuff worth plagiarising and am not seeking remuneration for my creativity. However, I do feel you could at least do me the courtesy of awarding a by-line by way of acknowledgment.

In future, I shall feel free to return the compliment by filching your stuff. I shall also be embellishing my modest publication with the logo "As featured in Private Eye" as this seems only fair...

Yours sincerely,

Dioclese

Unforgiven

Old Nick has started an interesting blog that gives you the chance to nominate who you think are the real evil bastards and then to take a public vote on whether to condemn or forgive them.

He started this up as an antidote to the sickening web sites and facebook pages praising Raoul Moat - a man on whom my views have already been expressed.

You can find it here or in my blogroll.
