Correction regarding comments

76 words posted by Simon on 23 June 2007

For a short time yesterday, the site decreed that almost all the comments on the site were from me. This wasn’t because I’d developed a multiple personality, it was because I misplaced an exclamation mark in some of the coding behind the site, and then didn’t notice for a little while. I don’t know if anyone noticed, but this is just a quick note to apologise to those who did. All comments are now attributed correctly.

HIV: A justifiable cause du jour?

45 words posted by Simon on 18 June 2007

I’ve just posted HIV: A justifiable cause du jour? on Gazette Communities. You’ll note that it bears some resemblance to this post from last year, which I felt was still very relevant, and could do with another airing. Next week’s contribution will be entirely fresh.

Sorry for not keeping up!

Sorry to all of you who’ve posted comments recently that I’ve not yet had chance to respond to. I do read all comments that come in (yep, even the really long ones), and I try my best to respond to most of them – I’ve just got a little bit behind recently. I will try harder.

‘Neighbours’ moves to Five

Daytime soap Neighbours is moving from BBC One to Five – Quite a coup for the latter. But when I posted about this a while back, Lawrence reckoned it’d lose a lot of viewers if this happened. Will it?

Gordon Brown is the next Prime Minister

45 words posted by Simon on 16 May 2007

Gordon Brown has enough nominations to ensure that he will not face a challenger for the Labour leadership. So now he has to fight a six-week election against, erm, nobody. To me, that seems a bit silly. But maybe that’s why I’m not a politician.

Favourite text

My favourite ever text came into 60300 last night: Presumably in response to this story, the anonymous respondent sent “Simon mate. Get out the 80s”. I sort of see where he or she is coming from, but that’s a message sent from a mobile phone to a blog claiming I’m stuck in the 80s. Oh, the irony.
