This week I,ve been reading Jonathan Yang's The Rough Guide to Blogging In it he advises baby-bloggers not to "...... .post for the sake of posting.Make each post a directed entry that has a purpose. The classic blogorrhea post reads "I have nothing to blog about now ,be back later."..........which is true BUT that's what I'm saying today.
I haven't posted for nearly a week+ feel obliged.to slap something up here.........i had a flu Jab last week & have been proper poorly.Ladies...a word of advise..the term "MAN-FLU" hasn't been funny for several years.......Get over the fact that men are just more sensitive to Pain.We are just more in tune with our body's!
Nothing to report.I havnt done anything about the trip to Italy in a few weeks.I might put it on hold until jan/feb.
I think Im going to make this a rolling post (ie I will add more stuff.......so any thought via your comments I will add to this post over the coming days. )
If your not doing anything Thursday 12th December a few of us are going to The German Christmas Market in Manchester + a tour of selected pubs (eg=
THE MARBLE ARCH )So if you fancy joining us ,contact me for further details. (from about 2pm onwards into the night.................)My email address is zmnsnt@aol.com
Jeeze.My Fever must be worse than i thought! I,ve started thinking again about THE FLAMING LIPS! Here are photos i took of them in Manchester in 2004 (me&Cathy) +
2006 (me& Chris)...........They have new "Product" i believe..................
next week's post will be about L.S.D.............. !

I don't mind posts for the sake of posting, as long as they are written in a creative enough manner...if I don't post for a while I try and have an extra-nice post next time! hope your man-flu disappears soon
When I can't think of anything to say, but still want to post something just so people know I'm still around, I put up a favorite quote, picture, or link to a site I like.
Of course, not every post has to be brilliant. We're not getting graded on or paid for this stuff. ;)

The flu jab can make you feel a bit poorly but nothing compared to if you actually got flu so clever you for having a flu jab! L.S.D. next week huh?
you never know I might join you at the marble arch mister!! I agree with everyone else that posting for the sake of it is just as worthy as any other post as long as it's a good read!! See what happens when you don't post anything and it doesn't take people long to stop checking back to see if you're still alive!! heheheh I should know, I take some of the longest blog hiatuses (?SP?) ever!!!

Hello there. I wonder how many people have bought Yang's guide to blogging and followed his advice. Does that now mean there will be a rash of blogs that are all the same? Surely the appeal of blogging is that there are no rules?
djIn Andy Roberts book Albion Dreaming he tells how ,in 1954, the Ministry of Defence conducted LSD Trials on volunteer servicemen .To help recruit these volunteers it put up posters asking for squaddies to take part in a research programme " To find a cure for the common cold." ! It adds a whole new meaning to the term "THE COLD WAR" !
Rock Mum.......people crave "rules" for some reason.Thats why I object to "Blog Awards" (a) because it tends towards standardisation.and (b) i never win any (*sobs*)........
Mr Fox Come along! I will post more details nearer the time + if you email Me ,whenever ,i will give you my mobile number.
"MAN-FLU"...
*laffs*
The flu jab made you ill?
Perhaps that's why they save it for the over 70s - so it will finish them off and save on the pension pay outs.
When I've nothing to say I use pictures....usually my best posts.
ummm.........maybe boy-flu might be more apt? I think i had the flu before the jab.i got it free via work.the local council probably got a job-lot from Netto's......
So sorry you hear you are feeling the blahs, Tony! Get well soon, you wimpy wimpy man, er, uh I mean, be well, good fellow!
I've never heard of the blogging book but it sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out!
i am so feeling your pain, sugar! i hate being sick/feeling sick...that feeling of not ill enough to take to your bed, but still too lethargic to actually do anything. hope you feel better soon, sugar! xoxoxo
Thankfully I do a couple of memes 55 flash fiction and Wordzzle which means I have at least two guaranteed posts per week, but I don't usually struggle about something to post about. I do agree with you though there's no point in posting when you've nothing to say.
errr........umm..........yea, i guess...............?
I got a BUZZ out of this post.
I have a rather shocking flu shot story (but it's too long to print here) needless to say I'll take my chances...no more flu shots for me.
Hope your Ebola (man-flu) clears up quickly Tony. Them Flu-jabses give you the flu as people keep tellin me.
Man flu? Never heard of it, but hope you get better.
Cheers!

I've said it before--androphobia is the acceptable face of bigotry.
Eager to read the L.S.D. posts

I guess you've got to be there.
