Twitter, Flitter, Blog, Smog, Tweet, Ted, Gawker, Flicker, Bicker, Facebook, Faceless - it goes on and on just like university degrees, so many of them yet what are they worth? Who is the supreme champion of the grab your attention platform? Whoever it is today (Facebook Business page?) one thing for sure it won't be next year. There will be a new kid on the blog. In the time it has taken for some corners of society to understand what a blog is and finally succumbing to peer group pressure that they are less than inadequate not to use one, those in the know tell us the blog is out of fashion. Its been left behind. Even this blog is admittedly a cathartic exercise, with the deluded hope that one day a small iota of its drivel will be of use to some fellow inhabitor of this planet.
I suspect I may be bookmarked for the 'Grumpy old men' folder but to quote a young teenage age girl's mother last Christmas when I led my street against the neighbouring street in an impromtu snowball fight. As the girl hit me fair and square on the snout, she screamed 'I got that old man'. Mother quickly reprimanded her ' Don't be rude, he's not an old man, well, if he is, he's a very young old man'.
