Hello,
The list of thing that can only happen to me has grown rather dramatically of late. First some tosser on Pickled Politics calls me a 'neo-con' and accuses me of owning an 'internment now' badge for no apparent reason then all hell breaks loose at The Scottish Idler's Guild.
For reasons which I fear will forever remain mysterious Wednesday's meeting was hijacked by a rather unpleasant and intimidating bunch who claimed to be 'a group of British Muslims'. They seemed to have a bee in their bonnet about supermarkets of all things. Lord knows what on earth we did to attract them but they claim to have come all the way from Edinburgh.
However all is not doom and gloom. The Britblog round up is here on Sunday and I'll be talking about it on Radio 5 at some stage next week so my English readers should prepare their side-splitting quips about being unable to understand me without delay.
Cheerio

The Scottish Idlers Guild
Hello,
A while back a mentioned in passing that I was planning to found my own guild or association. Well now I have.
Inspired by Tom Hogkinson's two excellent books 'How to be Idle' and 'How to be Free' as well as the excellent Idler magazine, I have set up the Scottish Idler's Guild. Obviously this is all still in it's infancy, I need members, a coat of arms, a committee (with titles and stuff).
At this stage I am after active idlers if you'll forgive the oxymoron, in other words people who're willing to put a bit of hopefully enjoyable graft in to get us started. I'd like us to meet up and exchange ideas, chat about books, publish things, find painless ways to make money, make stuff and maybe even get ourselves some allotments. Just some nice gentle pursuits with a dash of freeloading and thrift chucked in.
Anyone interested can join here. It's free just now although once we're up and running we may look for a small fee to cover costs etc. All that's required is that you've read the books mentioned above, feel inspired and have ideas to contribute.
Cheerio
