    Seems rude to pop in and not say anything so..

    I have found a new hobby, writing crap for money. So having spent a long time on here, enjoying it but not getting paid, and having hassle from time to time - it has been a real pleasure to just write stuff and wait for the advertising revenue to trickle in.

    As yet, not made anything, but I am assured that it takes time and am happy just expressing myself and waiting at the moment.

    With hindsight, it seems obvious that I like writing, that's why I did what I did on here. But instead of being restricted to a single forum I am now writing whole pages of absolute nonsense and making them accessible to a potentially far wider audience.

    I won't post a link because PN doesn't, and I think she knows what she is doing security wise.

    But I wish you all a Good Xmas of course - and may pop back occasionally until the powers that be decide it is not worth anything to have me around. Quite ironic really - a web site that survives off traffic gets rid of a poster who is now er writing stuff to gain traffic...

    Ah well.

    So this wedding....anytime soon is it?


    Nope.

    ....

    Exocet, I have been writing crap over at hubpages since pastures new mentioned it, you can make a little bit of money, have made $40 bucks over at Amazon and a fiver on adsense over the last two weeks.

    Not going to exactly get rich doing it.

    My problem is it turns out every time I get an idea for crap to sell via Amazon, some other booger is selling it already.

    Can you wear sheep skin coats when tending your flock, or is that considered to be bad taste?

    It's not considered bad taste, but I think it is a bad decision. Sheep are messy and smelly, and it takes a fortune to clean sheep skin coats.

    Sheep? Wear anything, they won't mind

    I don't care if they mind.

    This morning before I went out to see the Sheep it took me ages to choose, then put several layers on

    I've very rarely met a sheep I wouldn't call ...challenged.

    However,my stereotype to challenge is when female friends whine ''there are no good men''. There are good men all over the place...
