Blog Birthday!

Today is my Blog's first Birthday - my first post being launched on an unsuspecting and indifferent world on November 13 2004 following the TUC's 'Unions and the Internet' conference.

A year on and my comments box may not be over-flowing, and my site traffic figures still so low that I haven't needed to upgrade my statcounter account, but a years a year, and that's got to be an achievement in itself hasn't it?

This means that my blog has lasted longer than several of my previous fads - Karate (yellow belt was as far as I got), salsa dancing (4 lessons) and Christianity (I flirted with the church in my early teens, but only because this was linked to a lot of other flirting in the Church youth club...both endeavours were unsuccessful)

Anyway, thanks to those of you who check in from time to time, and even bigger thanks to those (mainly Mrs K!) who leave comments.

Any suggestions as to how I can improve or change this site (short of simply giving up, or anything which involves content likely to cause offense to those of a moral disposition) , would be gratefully received.

You certainly shouldn't give up - you're on my 'must read regularly' list...

Hope you enjoyed Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' the other night by the way...

Cheers - nice to know someone's reading all this stuff!!!

RTP was OK (well, really good considering it was an amateur production and tickets were £3.50 each!) - long though (3hrs), and its always going to be a hard book to cover (there was no mention of Owen's family for exmple, which takes away a lot of the human interest).

Cheers Mrs K - think our e-mail must have some sort of filter on it now, because for a while we were getting lots of offers for Viagra and once in a lifetime financial opportunities.

Please keep commenting!
