Along with some desperately overdue linking [nods in the general direction of the inimitable ninme], there are some little gems that might require to be brought to your general attention.
Tim Worstall gets frightfully hot under the collar about the gender pay gap (or lack of it as the case might be). He might have something to add to this. I have added a link to Scott Adam's Dilbert Blog for a number of perfectly exemplary reasons:
- He posts regularly
- He writes fluently
- He is fabulously politically incorrect
- He goads people mercilessly to make fools on themselves in the comments threads.
- There are some cracking stories/urban myths in the comment threads
Addendum:
Gaah! New Technology Baffles Pissed Old Hack.
Your incompetent and technophobic Pedant-General takes the view that the Blogger interface is frankly appalling. This is, indeed, the whole point of this post and the move to a bloglines blogroll. It will come as no surprise to you that I have resorted to posting via email. Except when you are a biff (for my Scots readers, read "numpty") and hit "send" instead of "save draft". Drat.
So, to the topic at hand: I admit that the "dog biscuits" link to Scott Adams is at best tenuous, but there is no such problem with this. The canine author seems to have undergone some kind of Buddhist reincarnation, having been a bear in a previous life. I am mindful of Churchill's quote to the effect that
"Dogs look up to us"but in this instance, I am afraid that this particular dog appears to be looking down on me. I may be the exception that proves WSC's rule however: I am listed under
"Buried Treasure".Truly an accolade from a dog.

Oi! I can get this kind of abuse at home for free!
:-)
Yes, folks, the Opinion Plaguester is back: see above.
You're a gent Mr P-G sir.
A Buddist dog, now there's a thought. Though I rather suspect it's one that will be quickly dismissed by the labs that share Woof's doghouse.
thersites: it wasn't that cruel. He was probably thinking of continental shoe sizes.
