Employee of the month

I am pleased to announce that this months ‘Employee of the Month’ is young Tarquin from graphics for his sterling attitude toward his 7 day incarceration in the vending machine following an incident during a fire drill a few weeks ago.
Doctors have assured us that the excess weight he gained during that time will soon [...]

Stuff and nonsense

Weblog URL: http://joelklebanoff.com/joelsblog2/
Reason for application:
Dear Worldblogcouncil, my blog is a hopefully funny, but funnily not hopeful review of, well, stuff and nonsense. It is of excellent quality, so says my mother. Or, rather, I’m sure she would say that if she had the foggiest of ideas as to how to surf the Web, which she [...]

Fire drill instructions

Chit chat

World Blog Council awareness week

We are very keen on social networking here at the WBC, nothing better than a glass of port and a handrolled Cuban to get someone’s chequebook out of mothballs.
Of course all members can help promote the WBC with some simple networking activity - this will also bring awareness and readers to your own weblogs. So [...]

Total trauma

Ms Tutt is busy knitting thermal underpants in the foyer and Frau von Sauertraut is roasting chestnuts and some kind of sausage in the carpark. Mr Ern will be serving [...]
