Dave Barry on Us
FYI - Dave Barry, the great guy's guy of the Miami Herald, is in London and blogging about us - 'for some reason Independence Day is not considered a major holiday here in England'. Not to be missed.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
oh there's an errant comma - good to see things going unnoticed like that. just add water, what's that about then?
ReplyDeletehey, was Miami, FLA even in the bloody union on independence day? I think not!
That Independence Day commemorates when the US broke itself free from the evils of empire building in general & the British Empire in particular, & those two nation states began acting as though they were two separate nation states? I hate to tell you, Dave, were you here to read it, but it certainly looks from the outside that as though you're not independent of each other.
ReplyDeleteBryan I wonder whether someone was trying to make you think that it was Dave Barry who called you a d----w-d. He was after all advised about your being "locked in Blogger Hell, unable to communicate on [your] blog." I doubt he did. Even though he's been known to use such guy words as b--g-r I don't believe there's any conclusive evidence that he's ever used the word d----w-d in writing though it may have been used in a comment or two at his blog.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, Ronin got me in there. Thanks for letting me know, Dave. I can't see Mr Barry spending a lot of time on Blogger 'discussion' groups somehow.
ReplyDelete"hey, was Miami, FLA even in the bloody union on independence day?"
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends on which independence day you are talking about. We have one every year.
I just noticed the headline of the paper next to the report of the weather. "Win tickets to see editors". Is this something that is popular in England?
