Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.

Said He's Off to Canada on twitter
ReplyDeleteOn an island where black people can still walk into a pub and be called a 'Kaffir', where waitresses still get their arses patted by fat, drunken businessmen and where the council can do a fair impersonation of a banana republic, I don't think there's much room for an ECR, do you?
ReplyDeleteAnd when people pull crap on you like 'I've lived in Thanet for 50 years so obviously my opinion counts for so much more than yours', it's the tin hat on the old cranium!
And yes, I'm off to Canada on a shoot. By boat, before anyone asks!
When bloggers go bad ECR
ReplyDeleteI hope ECR returns to blogging at some time. Reading it gave me some hope that there are one or two sane people living in Thanet.
ReplyDeleteElk or Deer old chap i favour the old Rigby, what's your favourite choice...the woodmaster perhaps!!
ReplyDeleteBoth are out of season here on the Isle de Bung

ReplyDelete"Gaffer" ECR. It is irony based on a Powellian speech about whip hands.
ReplyDeleteToilet Toilet Toilet Hearing Aid.
Businessmen in Thanet ? It is a local Yeti myth. There are no businessmen in Thanet.
The fat b******s patting waitresses' arses are DSS fraud investigators.
And as for being bothered by someone who has lived in Thanet for fifty years. Look what they did with the place ! But, to mitigate, for around 48 of that fifty years they been drinking cyclohexanone cordial.
Thanet Council ? Top of a pile of c*** is still c***. Thanet.
Anyway Best wishes You'll be back

Arnie I have moderated your language a little with *** as my and other children read this blog, try and keep the language moderate please.
ReplyDeleteThe Ego has left the building
ReplyDeleteRichard when this blog passed the 200 readers a day mark I realised that there comes a point where social and moral responsibility becomes a factor, we need the function that ECR performs and quite honestly I don’t think anyone else is capable of doing it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I have knocked you off http://thanetblogs.blogspot.com/ but wish you would reconsider.
Don't sell yourself short Michael.
ReplyDeleteThere are issues which, by far, you are the best person to blog.
There is, for example, the potentially forthcoming matter of cyclohexonanone binding irreversibly to oestregen receptors in female biochemistry. And whether this may be a causative factor in Thanet's double the national average rate of ectopic pregnancy. Issues like that need an identifiable blogger of gravitas. That is you Michael Bibliobloke.
ECR is a master of his craft and has provided us with many laughs (Sister Assumpta is my wife's favourite on his blog). He has not made a spit in the wind of difference for the people of Thanet unless you count providing a good laugh.
His effective role was in directing people's attention to other blogs.
