Styx's Mad Maxims.

What on earth is a blogging forum? What would it do? There are personal blogs attached to this site. Go to your details and you can start one although it would be better if you just stayed here and let us all see your thoughts! You never know where they could lead.

"joke 'em if they can't take a fuck"

i cant see how to blog!

I can't see one either. I reckon TC is referring to those people who keep a blog elsewhere and put a link to it in their personal details, hence his "would be better if you just stayed here" remark. You know what worries me most about me? It's this: I just sat here for ten minutes or more trying to figure out what TC meant... most other people would simply shrug and move on. Or do what you did and say "i can't see how to blog!" Not me. Oh no. I have to work it out. Perhaps that is my mad maxim.

And following on from that... whilst on hols this year, the woman whose house we had rented turned up and stayed in the annexe for a few days. She had a friend with her - a film producer (an irrelevance, I know, but I've just remembered I did promise said film producer to plug her work - it's a rasta version of Romeo and Juliet http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387467/) - and some emotional baggage... over a few bottles of wine she and the film producer announced that all men over forty were autistic. Mrs S paused, looked at me in her loving way - and this is the point at which I thought "Yes, you tell them! Show these divorced harpies that men can be good in er, some way or another" - and said, "yes, here's the living proof." So, my two maxims tonight are: All men over forty are autistic and Don't go drinking with three women

Ah - have now unravelled the mystery of the blog. You have to be an 'administrator' to get a blog - and then it appears on the front page. Apologies for being an idiot. It comes naturally. But we could add a blogging section - on the other hand isn't that what those who write diaries are doing in any case? Isn't it best to leave it all on the main site?

Methinks perhaps it'd be best to keep things simple, as it's all running so nicely at the mo... :-) * P * :-)

Trying to stick to a bovine diet is a fruitless task.

When all else fails... drop your standards.

It's alright to enjoy eating but only vampires should love their food.

Manama, nah. Dut, doo, da, duh, duh. Confused? So were they! MANAMA - A Middle East reform conference ended in confusion on Saturday after Egypt tried to introduce language which Washington said would restrict aid groups. Bananarama?
