It's a bit of a leap, isn't it, to assume anyone who elects not to go for the anonymity option and/or published a blog has to be a "celebrity" seeker?

SimonM (real name, as far as it goes :))

Funny way of spelling Simon

Maybe I am polarising things a bit.

How about notoriety seeker?

It seems Landcroft House is written by Rob from this forum. Unless there were two birthday cakes in one week at the Montpellier.

[Keef]

I have just seen this. I did as Jah says, set mine up in work one day for something to pass the time (I do have a lot of work that I could be doing, but you know). I have since done nothing to it, but may push on... I shall take the link away for the time being though, because if I'm not writing anything it seems pointless *ahem Huguenot*.

I'm not after fame, not from a blog anyway (musician perhaps, but aint gonna happen). Dulwichmum's is really well written, and good luck to her with the book(s), I think they'll do well.

The more interesting thing for me is the fact that I'm not posting anonymously. I have considered asking admin to change my name, as I do feel a bit exposed at times, and can't always slag off the people I want to because they might come and get me...

I'll let you know if I do any more blogging....

[david_carnell]

I write without a moniker but alas I am neither good looking/funny/interesting enough to seek fame, nor outrageous enough with my comments to seek notoriety.

I have no idea why I registered as myself to be honest. Probably because I couldn't think of a witty pseudonym.

If you're on Facebook you could probably find even more info about me, or MySpace, or my previous post about my own blog.

In the words of Catherine Tate, am I bovvered? Er, no.

Pot, kettle Brenda :)-D

:-$

busted

[mockney piers]

talking of anonymity, someone's registered/posted today as 'anon'. I can't believe that hadn't gone already!!

[Brendan]

As long as they don't start going on, an' on....

I'll get my coat

and ariston....? (Wrong thread, me thinks :-S)

Blogs are like papers. Read them, ignore them, have an opinion about them or don't. I'm not really a fan of any blog, but I do look at Landcroft House as I think it is well-written, informative and has high presentation values. On a related note, a writer in teh Spectator talks of 'blog-standard' in a recent edtion, by which he means that many blogs are written in a very similar, upbeat style of writing. I don't read enough to know whether it's correct, but it's an interesting thought. Nero

Ok seeing as you asked - I was standing as a Green councillor in Chaucer ward, when I started my blog.

[SeanMacGabhann]

There are people in this world who think we are one and the same person you know....

As for the topic, isn't every post we make on here similar to a blog - It's just an opinion expressed and no-one HAS to read it

I tend to read blogs by people I know, just to see what's on their mind/what mood they were in when they wrote it - and that include our 3 bloggers mentioned here. I love 'em all

PS Alan - you are like Karter - you keep alluding to seeing me abaht (and have pinpointed my, er... habits) but I don't know you - so say hello sometime. If it's on the morning bus to work, leave it at that tho' (I can be anti-social at that hour....) ;-)

[Alan Dale]

Sean I am afraid that I am unlikely to introduce myself either on the bus or in Inside 72 because I'm 'prone to insulting insinuations' so I 'feel the need to hide behind a nom de plume'.

Sorry.

Amanda - I love the stuff about only getting multiple orgasms off guys you don't respect intellectually. I know a couple of ladies who share your affliction in that department and I know of no cure.

I do think that if a middle aged guy was to post about only being interested in sex with stunning but stupid young girls that he has no interest in long term commitment with there may be a bit of a backlash.

What do you think? Do you have double standards about that sort of thing or would the old perve have your sympathies?

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Being a bit of an old perve myself (and formerly a young perve), perves of any gender get my sympathy! I'm hoping the menopause will bring some relief from this debilitating condition.

[karter]

Keef that is the major downside about posting as yourself, you cannot post freely otherwise " they will come and get you" due to over exposure.

I admire your blog and posts, keep it up and dont change your name. Seeya around and thanks for keeping to your word. ;-)

[Brendan]

I really don?t have a problem posting as myself as I tend to say just as much stupid sht when I speak to people in person as I do online.

[Keef]

I'm probably a bit more shy in person, but still there have been so many photos of nights out, and so many random meetings that there's not a lot of point posting under a different name.

That's 9 out of 1,100 isn't it?

What's that as a percentage?

[Asset]

mine isn't that difficult to work out.

[*Bob*]

I prefer to creep and lurk.. like a thief in the night.

[dulwichmum]

I am not seeking fame with my blog. I am simply a retired brickie from Penge with an active imagination... My blog provides me with a creative outlet, nothing more. I have an active imagination, and blogging helps me to spend less time smoking roll ups (Old Shag) and fawning over my snake/scorpion/great big hairy spider collection. I am hoping to sell the screen rights, and wish to turn Dulwich into the next Notting Hill - just to upset the locals.

Watch this space...

[Marmora Man]

I thought a nom de plume was a necessity to post. Now I find it's not.

I am Ian Robert Whitehouse and I haven't had a drink for 24 hours - so I'm off for a glass of whisky bought this weekend in Scotland - an interesting blend of 3 cask strength Islay malts - 40% Laphroaig, 40% Bowmore and 20% Caol Ila. I may report back later.

AlanD - your cover is blown!
