Do not buy this book!!!

I know what you’re thinking “This is just jealousy and bitterness because you’re not in the book”. And you’d be right. I am upset and I am bitter. I am bitterer than the Manchester City supporting Berite Magoo the Bitter Blue. I am bitterer than 85% dark chocolate. I am bitterer than freshly squeezed lemon juice.

I must admit when I scanned the list I was already about 80% sure I wasn’t going to be on it but there was always that hope. But there are a lot of surprises on there – and not in a good way. There are blogs on there written by people who wouldn’t know what funny was if it came up and started humping their leg. And that makes me think that it’s just one big blog love in. Lots of backs patted, lots of egos being rubbed and lots of secret blog mafia hand shakes going on.

So I ask, where’s my parade?????

This is exactly like when I was back in school and we went on a field trip and in the 15 of us, I was the odd one out who had no friends and no one wanted to sit near. So I ended up having to sit next to the teacher. I was always the last to be picked for football – until I found out that if you’re a goalkeeper, you get picked really early.

And the publisher is taking a £5 from the costs of the book. So a measly £3.50 goes to Comic Relief. So here’s a good idea – go to each of the 100 or so blogs, read a couple of their posts, even go through their archives and then give the full £8.50 to charity.

In fact why not round it up to a tenner. And if you’re looking for ideas, Me, Me, Me’s official charities include the Samaritans and the Big Issue. You can donate money to them here:
