A Prize on Sports Day

ainsley009's picture

It's probably a mark of a vacuous existence but I felt proud today to enter the "Hot Topics - Last 7 days" list for the first time ever.

For coves like Valparaiso in 5c this may be a workaday occurrence but it has made my week. My only worry is that perhaps I really owe this to Hepworth Major for kicking it off (on E-book readers) in the first place. I will blot out this thought with another glass of Merlot.

Go on, admit it, you want it too.

Glass of Merlot?

Don't mind if I do. Cheers!*

I've found a failsafe way to make the chart is to include 'Andrew Collins' somewhere in the title. My last blockbuster was 'Andrew Collins on Religion' - always a winner ;-) I could perhaps have increased the reply count by using 'Andrew Collins on Hitler', or maybe 'Andrew Collins on Richard Thompson'...

*technically a Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot - Isla Negra - 3 for £10 at a certain well-known supermarket. Well, at that price, it asda be a bargain...

Alan Coren did some research on what books sold best

then entitled his book Golfing For Cats and emblazoned a swastika on the cover.

Using the same logic, the Andrew Collins on Richard Thompson thread should be a bestseller.

I preferred your earlier work before everybody else liked you ;-)

I've done that

Not the blotting out thought with a glass of red, though I've done that plenty of times too, but checking the site even more often than i usually do to see if a blog of mine has crept any further up the 'hot topics' chart.

I think I've repressed that urge

a bit--just as well--but *did* recently enjoy remembering, that I had won one week's episode of the Friday Night Connection on the Friday Rock Show--prompted by the recent Purple thread. I have the Polydor sampler "a little bit of light relief" with the Dixie Dregs' Take it Off The Top to prove it ...

shame I can't remember what my chosen tracks were ... oh well.
