Happy 8th Blogday To Us

With the benefit of hindsight, starting a blog on 07/07/07 was maybe a poorly chosen date - the second anniversary of the 7/7 Islamic murder rampage in central London - but we are where we are. But it's easy to remember at least.

If I had to correlate the start date to real life events, I would mention "Gordon Brown becoming Prime Minister" and "the smoking ban", those were the two things which pushed me over the edge.

And here we are, 10,670 posts later...

M, thanks.

L, you help kepping it going as well, it's yours as much as mine.

AKH, also thanks. Is 8 years a long time to keep a blog going? When do you stop? Why would you stop?

S, thanks.

JM, thanks. Having checked, I see that you started slightly after I did. I had somehow assumed you started first.
