Flashman

Goodbye Flashman; you dashing, cowardly, misogynistic, randy old imperialist. I’ll miss you.

It’s up on The Guardian too.

Here’s a link to Terry’s statement.

It’s quick and simple to set up and appears to function with a minimum of fuss. Recent changes to the cumbersome commenting system in Blogger made it more difficult for non-Blogger users to leave comments and include their non-blogger website address. For instance I could no longer leave www.thegurrier.com as my website link, only http://thegurrier.com would create a link.

Now Blogger have seen fit to remove this ability completely. When commenting on the Blogger platform one can only enter a ‘nickname’. No weblink is allowed. This is a royal pain in the arse and will lead to less comments being made and less links between bloggers being created and shared.

Blogger aren’t stupid, Google aren’t stupid, what benefit does turning Blogger into a walled garden like Facebook or Bebo have? On the flipside Blogger have announced support for Openid, but this is not a feature turned on by default and is still in beta.

What can you do? Blogger users and Non-Blogger users alike can head to this page and ask them to turn the feature back on.

Nanowrimo 2007 is finished, final count in at 50,348. This year was a complete bugger.

I leave you now to bathe in the whiskey of victory.

Gurrier out.

These disturbing images show people beating each other to death for flatscreen televisions. I can only assume this mass hysteria is the result of the dissemination of government information regarding the approach of some awful, final and calamitous end to human existence on this planet. If there are any Americans left alive over there and reading this, do not be afraid. I have been to the shops this weekend and there are still flatscreen televisions here in Ireland. DO YOU NEED AN EMERGENCY AIRLIFT OF TELEVISIONS?

Simply reply “Send Televisions” in the comments below and I will begin lobbying our politicians without delay.

People of America we stand by you in your time of need.

This one is like Dawn of the Dead, the madness starts about one minute in.

This lady has two flatscreen televisions, perhaps to watch the end of the world on CNN and Fox simultaneously.

Now the punching begins.
