[blogfocus saturday] of bones and birthdays


1. While I post on irrelevancies like Liberty Dollars, Colin Campbell gets down to the meaty issues [wonder if Welshcakes could whip this up into something]:
Spotty is a great admirer of large animal bones. A bone like this keeps him busy for about a week.
2. Ross Fountain thinks the BPC wants seriously watching:
“Couch potato”. The British Potato Council wants the expression stripped from the Oxford English Dictionary and replaced in everyday speech with the term "couch slouch". It says the phrase makes the vegetable seem unhealthy and is bad for its image.
3.You remember the blog graphs? Dave Cole now explains all:
In an HTML page, the first thing you do is tell the browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera or whatever takes your fancy) that the file is written in HTML. You do this with the very first thing you write - . In the blogs as graphs pictures, that tag is represented by a black dot, and it’s where everything starts from.
4. Tiberius Gracchus has something important to announce for last Thursday [I'm always late with these things]:
Its my birthday, I'm 27 and therefore ancient! Also worth noting that today is World Philosophy Day - so everyone get those thinking caps on!
Happy birthday, Tiberius - come and blow the candle out!

  1. Well, I could try! I am devastated to have missed Gracchi's birthday! Did you bake the cake yourself, James?

  2. Oh I like that cake. Much more than the bone, thank you. I'll leave that to Spotty.
    Couch slouch versus couch potato. Go for it.
