Comment on Potentially Stupid by Paul

Thanks guys, both really excellent suggestions. I shall have to give it some thought. I doubt I’ll be making huge amounts, but the two of you will both get the benefit of being local and marvelling at my triumph, or laughing at my ignominious failure first hand, when it happens.

And Jen, yes the novel thing will happen soon, but that will be seperate from the blog, and to be honest I’m still working at getting it into shape, and Jonic needs to build me something pretty.

More suggestions though please people, or you can hit me up on twitter if you’d prefer not to do it here.

I’d suggest http://www.uk-sands.org/Home.html The Stillbirth and Neo-natal Death Society (society always seemed a strange choice of word…) Like Jennie’s , fairly obvious why… They, in part, fund the room in York hospital which is reserved for, i guess, soon to be bereaved parents, put on support groups and the like, very worthy I think.

As far as this blog goes, wasn’t it going to become a novel at one point? Called Blood on the Motorway? You should get on that!

As for charities: http://www.adoptionuk.org/default.asp
For obvious reasons. I know it doesn’t look like it’s a sad enough cause but it’s close to my heart so I’m giving it a go.

Yay Jen Jen the Magnificent! I knew I could count on you. But don’t give too much away re: Buffy, although, yes, that’s my favourite too.

I’m still here and I’m fine – glad you’ve started posting on here again although not enjoying the term Gleek… Oh dear.

Very excited about Ellen being a Buffy convert – just wait until she sees evil Willow. That’s my favourite ever.

Another reason to support the Rage cause, from what i’ve heard, all the royalties they recieve are going to Shelter. Charity or Lining Simon Cowell’s pockets? not too much of a tough choice.
Jennie – drownedinsound.com have been running a campaign to get a much more festive song in the christmas top 40 ‘Get behind me Santa’ by the rather excellent Sufjan Stevens. Worth checking out!

Ian – well at least you still left me a comment! Nice post, any readers who haven’t, go read.

Kerri – Given my current situation, I don’t think I could afford it!

Jennie – I don’t care, go buy it! Or go get the muppets Bo Rap instead. That is awesome.

I am thoroughly torn. On the one hand, I see where these people are coming from – X Factor is a big pile of awful and the acts are getting worse every year. A bit of competition is necessary and I’d love to see Simon Cowell pissed off and that stupid Elderberry boy cry.

I just don’t like the choice of song. Not that I don’t like the song, but it’s Christmas for God’s sake! (Or Santa, or whoever you worship. For me, it’s Santa). They could have chosen something a bit nice and perhaps even Christmassy. But no, some flipping metal child somewhere said ‘hur, hur, wouldn’t it be funny if RATM were number one at Christmas with the least christmassy song ever?’ and now it might be…

So, in conclusion; X Factor not being xmas number one =good. RATM being xmas number one = bad.

Maybe I’ll release a Christmas single.
