Ernest Gripe

It is my duty to inform all members of the World Blog Council that we will be undergoing a strenuous evaluation period over the coming weeks so all sensitive paperwork should be shredded immediately.
The mediator sent from Whitehall will be none other than the Honorable Ernest Gripe, a teetering force within the blogging community who [...]

How Joe sees it

Weblog URL: http://www.howjoeseesit.com/
Reason for application:
I blog, therefore I am. Please acknowledge my existence on the World Wide Web so I know I blog for some higher purpose.
Joe sees life through the eyes of a dieting, tattooed tech-junkie whose musical and political leanings colour his blogging output. All in all things seem very satisfactory.
I had a [...]

Bribery and corruption

It has come to my attention that there is underhand nonsense in progress on the internet based world wide web. A certain young lady, currently undergoing a lifetime ban from the WBC (for crimes against the Blogiverse) has been utilising her information technology skills to confuse and further derange staff members.
She has nominated the WBC [...]

Daddy Papersurfer

Weblog URL: http://www.daddypapersurfer.com/

Reasons for application:
I received an email from a young lady with buns attached to her ears who demanded that I re-apply after my recent justified ban.
I comply.
I am on the verge and need a push. I believe the WBC are the people for the job.
Yours sincerely folks
D. Papersurfer
For some reason the Colonel will [...]

Inauguration day

It brings a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat to announce that during a very solemn and important ceremony this afternoon Mr T. Ern will be handed the keys to the downstairs broom cupboard. The implications of this are awe inspiring and somewhat humbling.
Mr Ern was born in a skip in [...]

Fracas

Weblog URL: http://fracas.wordpress.com/
Reason for application:
Due to a recent report of someone being caught with their pants down here, I find I have no choice but apply for approval in order to more closely monitor the situation.
This is all for the good of interweave patrons the world over, of course…
(I may or may not report my [...]

World Blog Council chatter box

With great pleasure I would like to draw your attention to the ‘WBC chatter box’ at the top right hand corner of this page. This method of communication may be known to you as a ’shoutbox’, ‘twitterbox’ or simply a ‘wall’.
If you click on ‘Leave a reply’ and type a message you may join in [...]

I’ll never forget the day I read a book

Weblog URL: http://residentreader.blogspot.com/
Reason for application:
Please accept my application for approval. I really did read a book once and may do so again some day. In the meantime I am looking at the pictures in some books and watching the movie in other cases and writing short essays about what I have learned on my blog.
I [...]

Criminal element

An increasing level of criminal intent has been creeping into the hallways of this hallowed edifice. Last Thursday two of my chocolate Hobnobs (a delicious and nutritious oaty snack to accompany my afternoon Earl Grey moment) were pilfered from Ms Tutts ‘kitchenette’. The perpitrator was of course instantly apprehended and handed over to the authorities [...]

Clark’s Picks

Weblog URL: http://clarkspicks.com/
Reason for application:
Clark’s Picks will be one year old on December 31st, 2008, ancient by the standards of the world wide tube system. I have endeavored to find and present the most significant moments in recent (since the invention of “talking pictures”) musical history on Clark’s Picks for the edification of children, hip [...]

Frosty reception

An unsurprising lack of maintenance following a burst water pipe in the reception area, coupled with the somewhat strange disappearance of the front door has led to the creation of a temporary ice sheet. Skates will be issued to all staff members for reaching all ground floor offices.
The ‘no children’ sign posted at the entrance [...]

Life with Canucklehead

Weblog URL: http://www.canucklehead.ca/blog/
Reason for application:
humbly throw my site upon the mercy of this prestigious council. If the truth be known, I have my fragile go all been completed dashed at previous evaluations. A wiser man might wait until the taste of excellence has been washed from your mouths - as I see Lord Likely has [...]

New Years positivity drive

Due to prolonged exposure to the festive spirit an alarming number of WBC employees have yet to return to their departments this year. Of course this could be wild coincidence and everybody just happens to be on ‘errands’ and temporarily absent from every single office simultaneously whenever I check them.
However, this shall not cast a [...]

Tiggyblog

Weblog URL: http://www.tiggyblog.com/
Reason for application:
I bought a World Blog Council certificate at a backstreet market in Kuala Lumpur. I’m beginning to suspect it may not be authentic. I’d love to exchange it for a real one.
Having recently been reminded of the pitfalls of picking up eronious goods in the sweltering back streets of a South [...]
