Two new blogs

We've recently added a couple of blogs to our blogroll, and we welcome their authors to the blogosphere.

Whowuddathort popped up in December. We have no idea who the author is, but his worldview and political leanings are similar to ours, and he's (we're making a gender-presumption here!) already put out some interesting posts, including a fisking of Sunday's Horizon Research poll which is so out of kilter with everyone else that we didn't deem it worthy of comment. Whowuddathort is well worth a visit.

The other blog we've added is of far recent vintage. GMan has posted very occasionally on Gotcha!, but has now set up a blog with a difference, and it's a difference which appeals to us. GMan is a self-confessed sports geek, and his blog, unsurprisingly is named The Sports Geek. The byline reads "Sports stats, comment and banter. Written by a stats guy, and sports freak" Bewdy! GMan has even generously given us authorship rights, which we will exercise from time to time, although Keeping Stock will remain our main focus.

Pay these guys a visit. The blogosphere is solely reliant on people taking the time and trouble to set up and maintain blogs, giving others a forum to comment and vent, so it's nice to know that someone out there is taking notice.

Whodathort is well worth a look as you say. I followed a link from PMofNZ and by chance was the first to comment there as I recall.

Will have a look at Sports Geek in a minute or three - thanksfor the tip.

Whowud seems to have attracted the new-name-every-time troll that you've had around here Inv. I added him to my RSS a week or so back.

@pdm - I see Gman is inviting authors, I think you should drop him a line, I rate you as one of the most insightful and knowledgeable commentators on rugby anywhere online.

Thanks. That's me. What you don't realise is that my blog is satirical. I lampoon the politics that you think we share. Politics is for idiots. Political commentary is for bigger idiots.

Don't you just love the trolls who pretend to be bloggers? So brave hiding under Anon!

Anon said Politics is for idiots. Political commentary is for bigger idiots.

By extension, that would mean that commenting on those who comment of politics is the biggest idiocy of all ...

JS - thanks for the kind words. I will think about that.

Because I am in the UK at present and hope to be for a while longer I am a bit out of sinc timewise. Now is my bedtime.

Hey!
Inv@, Who and pdm can be a gang of three!
Think of all the backslapping and agreementing!
Joh Key will probably give you a group concession to his fan club!

Yo! whowuddathort can you flick me an email sometime. I've got this awesome social event to organise once I've prised my sad pseudonym-flaunting self away from inane typing on blogs. pathetic@losers-online.ru

Hell - anon 12.19pm. - I was looking for a `gong' from John Key for Services to commenting and I think Inv and Whoddathort are deserving of knighthoods for putting up with your inane drivel on their blogs.

I applaud The Sports Geek for not allowing anonymous comments.

Fair suck of the sav. pdm; with respect, Whowuddathort has only been putting up with the crap for five minutes; I've hung in for 3 1/2 years!

With good grace and the patience of Job.
