Some blogs I know
- Baroque in Hackney
Any friend of JD Salinger is a friend of mine... - New York Bike Blog
- Cocktails and Records
... what could be finer? A weekly tune from the record box, handpicked, dusted down, and lovingly described. Also the place to get answers to Major Questions Of The Day, such as 'is rollerskating the new trendy alternative to bicycles?' - Clutching the tea cup
'... or staying afloat while monumentally out of my depth in foreign parts' - Belgian Waffle
Prolific? Bien sur. Waffle? Not a bit of it. The best thing to come out of Belgium since Leffe Blonde, and that is saying something. - Non-working monkey
'Why taking work seriously turns you into a cock', among other lifesavingly important career advice. - ishouldbeworking
She should be working- somewhere near Brighton. But we are thankful that she is writing. Among other talents, an enviable ability to eavesdrop the choicest conversations... - Razorblade of life
'Not so much cutting-edge as half-cut and still sliding'... - Nine foot Joe
tall man - blue cat
This blue cat fellow (he writes for the telly you know) issues forth an apparently effortless stream of grade-A funniness that has me overcome in turns by helpless laughter and shameful, powerful envy. There I've said it. - Joella
Joella in Oxfordshire. Working for The Man while training to be a plumber (I think!). Loves gherkins, hates aubergines... and Fascists. - Jason Mulgrew
Jason in his own words: 'I am from a blue-collar Irish Catholic family from Philly, complete with a chain-smoking tattooed dad, a short gregarious mother, a younger brother that despises me and a younger sister who’s pretty sure I’m gay'. - Clare Sudbery
Another of Mancheter's finest... a textually loquacious word-freak, with quite a way with words. - Chocolate Sandwich
Unusual delicacies from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. - A Free Man in Preston
Office life with unforgettable characters such as 'Stella, my eighties yuppie witch of a team leader', seasoned with occasional out-of-hours forays into the murky world of Lancastrian barbershop quartets. The writer is a very nice chap to boot. - Assistant
another Jonathan! Sure there's a lot of it about... - what's new pussycat
What can I say here? Just a very funny, engaging and captivating writer. - Bushra
Bushra's blog/ homepage/ call it what you want - girl on a train
... and sometimes in an office and in some other places. - Dubsteps (formerly Hobo Tread)
Thoughts of Skif, a Havant and Waterlooville fan exiled in Liverpool- possibly the most engaging non-league football writing to be found on the web- and with a little bit of politics, and plenty more beside! - Tired Dad
The Man Who Very Nearly Fell Asleep - troubled diva.
Mike, the self-styled 'Fairy Godmother of British Blogging'. He got us all published in a book, you know... - Glitter For Brains
glitter! for brains!! - Rhodri
Livejournal is much-maligned in some quarters which is perhaps why you haven't seen a link to Rhodri anywhere else. Be assured, though: this is a writer of rare poise, able to extract hilarity from the most humdrum of subject matter. Oh and as well as being a professional broadsheet journalist he's also the keyboard player with Scritti Politti (I swear I'm not making this up). - Private Secret Diary
Dispatches from deepest Norfolk. Not that private and not that secret. Just consistently hilarious. - little.red.boat
Cool name... really cool site! - 1000 Shades of Grey
He's actually black and white. - Silent Words Speak Loudest: Unlicensed to thrill
an exiled geordie in nottingham- no, in birmingham! - The man who fell asleep; Sadness and ecstasy in unequal measures
The book inspired by this veteran site (A Year in the life of The Man Who Fell Asleep) features the 'sarcastic polar bears of north London' among other oddities that the author manages somehow to render absolutely plausible. - Emma Kennedy
the daily weblog of BBCTV and radio's Emma Kennedy. The design and format (and the car number spotting thing!) may be copied from Richard Herring- but Emma has very much her own writing style. Consistently entertaining. - Pete Ashton's Internet Presence
Birmingham's finest. Writing with enviable clarity on every subject under the sun since 2000 (a very long time indeed!). Now with added nice pictures of canals and stuff... - Tokyo Times
Lee Chapman. Not the ex-Sheffield Wednesday striker (at least I don't think so) but an English bloke who lives in Tokyo. And tells interesting stories about it. Often accompanied by pictures. - Petite anglaise
Petite, our very own 'cause celebre' (she was sacked for blogging back in the day, you know). The first novel now published, but she hasn't forgotten where she came from, oh no... - diamond geezer
From London. And seems to have been around for about as long as the City itself. One of the 'Old School'. - Looby
'An awkward, clumsy fellow; a lubber; a novice'....a venerated (if refreshingly irreverent) blogging institution. Lancaster's very finest! - RichardHerring.com
The comedian Richard Herring's kind of online diary thing. Always worth a visit.
From the neighbourhood
- Levenshulme Daily Photo
We're a very photogenic little suburb, you know. The go-to place for arty shots of express trains speeding past sports centres, kids on scooters dissappearing up alleyways... and rain. Lots and lots of rain. - Love Levenshulme
Handcrafted local blog taking admirably positive slant on all things M19. Equally delightful postcards available from libraries, butchers, and candlestickmakers the length and breadth of our part of the A6
