So. There were 48 posts in 24 hours.
I’ve talked about 21 books, 8 films, and (presumably) 19 other things.
A word of thanks must go to the Blogathon team who organised the whole thing with so much aplomb and kept us entertained throughout.
Almost $100,000 has been raised by the ‘Thon, and you can continue to pledge [...]
The problem with posting every 30 minutes is that you actually need 49 posts to make 24 hours (cos you start at 0). Post 49 will be a round up, but in the meantime, I thought I’d start to think about how I’d do this next year, if I do.
The theme worked for the first [...]
My blog station in the lounge has been taken over by people watching the Formula 1. Tsk.
I have to say, though, I’m always impressed by the incredibly hi-tech stuff that happens at these races – on one of the first corners of this race, a car was knocked into the air by another, landed, and [...]
Oops – a bit late, following a stop for food.

Just thought you’d like to know…
Actually, I’ve almost completed it. It is, admittedly, an easy one.
…he was saving this until he was out of ideas.
Sounds like a good plan – I can pretend to be sluglike too.
…and I’m feeling really tired.
And I’ve pretty much run out of things to write about.
You know how sometimes when you close you eyes you know you’re going to fall asleep? I’m at that stage.

An all-powerful father sends his son to Earth to save mankind by showing them the “light”. The son is able to perform miracles. He “dies” and is born again. Sound familiar? It might do, it’s the plot of the new movie Superman Returns. And in the blogs [...]
If you don’t already, you really should start listening to the Now Show on Radio 4. It is the BBC’s best-performing podcast, and is, frankly, very very funny.
Steve Punt, Hugh Dennis, John Holmes and occasionally Marcus Brigstocke provide satirical commentary on the week’s events, with musical entertainment from Mitch Benn.
