You overuse the phrase "this is about as funny as" in all the blogs. Also Brooker has a genuine love of TV, I'm not sure anything really comes through in the blogs other than hatred. Got a bit wearing.

As for the overuse of the phrase, I probably do, but I lose track of what I've done in the previous blogs pretty quickly.

I DO love a lot of TV, Not Going Out, Not The Nine O' Clock News, The Simpsons and Mongrels to name just a few past and present, but I guess in personal blogs it's easy to sense or assume a personal bias in negative reviews.

Thanks for reading.

Your blog is NOT very well written.

That's fine, I never said it was. It doesn't really matter since it's just a random blog and not anything important, even to me.

I'll admit "It's not important, even to me" isn't exactly the best promotional line for anything.

Three surely, including chipolata?

Sorry if it sounds like it's my SOLE aim to slag stuff off, it's not, just shows that I really don't like. I'm REALLY not for the whole young-adult-pub-theme, sex-and-nude-humour concept.

Loads of people have a blog like that, and I'll admit I did take some inspiration from the also often OTT Charlie Brooker. If it was SOLELY my aim to just post needlessly bashing EVERYTHING, I'd have far more than 5 posts in about 3 months. Thanks for reading though.

How did you know it's MY own blog? I never said and quite a few people post links to other peoples review.

What is your ambition from this blog Jimmy? What are you looking to achieve with it?

Nothing. What else? What IS there to achieve with a blog?

Well stop doing it then.

There's nothing to be achieved from anyone doing a blog on anything, are you saying that we should just shut down every blog site on the Internet?

(As a matter of fact that's not a bad idea.).

Yes, but what do we hope to achieve by posting on this site, Marc? (Although I have nearly achieved it so I can't stop now!)

I'm saying if you personally don't know why you are doing it then stop. Please don't extrapolate it to other people who do.

I didn't mean I don't know why I'm doing it at all, I meant I'm not doing it to achieve any goals etc.

It's no different from people posting their own reviews, I just posted it on a blog site so it wouldn't take up so much space, people could easily skip the link with one scroll.

I suppose I do enlighten people, Marc. And it means a lot that you would say that.

Sorry I just read what you wrote please forgive me for that, what was there about this that you didn't mean? In your blog I mean slagging off something?
