Be Excellent To Each Other

http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com

I've been trawling through this one today. Fairly decent. But which do YOU read? Eh? And why do you read that, then?

I don't typically read blogs. I find it hard to get excited by people rambling their opinions on stuff, usually via 20 paragraphs of solid text that I don't have the energy to read.

As much as I like Zero Punctuation, I haven't read any of his bloggo stuff. It doesn't interest me in the same way.

I couldn't bear to write a blog myself, even if I thought I had something intelligent to say. Certainly, I don't think there are very many truly decent ones - at lot of them seem to be people dispassionately writing down every dull piece of minutiae that occurs in their life. Stuff I don't need to know.

My google reader "blogs" tag.

OMFG you're another local!

The only person who didn't live in Cardiff on WoS was S, it appears.

Have you only just noticed? I did seven years in Cardiff Uni mang (BSc then PhD). I lived at three different addresses in Roath (one of them with Metal Angel, TRUFAX) and one in Grangetown in that time. I grew up in Cwmbran though, and moved back up this way in 2005.

http://chasemeladies.blogspot.com - sadly quiet for a while now, but Hutton on form is possibly the funniest man on the internet.

http://emeraldbile.com - Pretty much what it says on the tin - mad Irish woman shouts and swears about things that annoy her in an often painfully witty manner.

http://thelawwestofealingbroadway.blogspot.com - aka "the Magistrate" - interesting and sometimes amusing insight into the THE SYSTEM.

http://blog.moneysavingexpert.com/ - horrible site, but incredibly useful, and the blog raises some interesting points about all manner of financial things, not least houses (http://blog.moneysavingexpert.com/2008/04/18/is-gordon-brown-right-to-help-first-time-buyers). The programme he's on is excellent too, and would be cheesy and suspicious if he and the people on it weren't clearly having so much fun.

http://botherer.cream.org/ - JW (no, not that JW) is amusing, often interesting, and comes across as a nice fella.

http://randomreality.blogware.com/blog/ - Ambulance driver's blog. Far too often a depressing and enraging read, but that's neglected public services for you.

I used to read Woebot. But then he stopped. On a regular basis, Russ L. That's about it, other than the dudes linked on the bottom of my blog.
