Reason for application:
I am applying because you told me to and I haven’t got anything else to do. Also, my blog is really very good and more people should be reading it, particularly the post I’m about to write entitled “Who Would You Send A Poo In A Box To?”.
Hmm. Not a very gracious acceptance of an invitation to tea and a rather unsatisfactory reason for an application. Altogether an immodest and rather over confident self appraisal.
However…… since we think the eclectic and serendipitous nature of your blog (confused yet strangely compulsive ramblings on the life of an English woman immured in darkest Canadia with a flea ridden vet) show a certain modest amount of promise, and in spite of the occasionally somewhat unfortunate subject matter*, the Members, after a long and at times very heated debate, have decided to grant a qualified Approval. A close eye will be kept on the quality of future posts to ensure the high standard of the WBC remains …….high.
*A somewhat more philosophical treatment of this ‘matter’ can be found here. Linkage to this particular site must NOT be taken to mean Approval by the WBC, this site remains on the Rejected list. Re-appraisal may be possible at a later date. The Colonel may have muttered something about snowballs and Hell, it was difficult to hear him since he had a mouthful of Jammy Dodgers.

P.S. re: Poo in a Box - If it’s OK with you N-W M, I’m pinching this idea - a certain member of the council is getting right up my nose at the moment just in case it comes in handy.

I’m not entirely sure at which point during the proceedings the tea boy gained sufficient sway within these hallowed walls to appraise internet weblogs. He does however make a splendid cup of Earl Grey.
Approval granted.

I am not ‘over-confident’- I am merely confident that it is brilliant, even when I can’t be bothered to write anything, and just embed things I found on the YouTube or put up photographs of stuffed cats that I found after searching “buy taxidermy online”.

I love that cat - it reminds me of my cousin Deidre (from the Cotswolds Fotherington-Blogworthys). Maybe it’s the glimmer in her eye?
You are in love with me. I can tell.

It’s that sort of brazen accusation that can get you in serious trouble here at the WBC. Much more and you may have to attend a personal interview!
Are you in love with anybody Colonel?

This is hardly the time or place for such an inquisition Ms Tutt. Now pull yourself together and get back to work. There’s a good girl…
Herr Colonel, I see you have been having another long lunch with zu viel wein. You know that personal interviews require WBC Form 13-4.b, with two signatures of approval.
…wonder if they got a form and ask permission to make babies too.

Do I detect from the marmalade stain on your monitor that you find procedure here at the WBC somewhat of a strain Mr C?
As a founder member of the WBC I would expect more from a gentleman such as yourself. Maybe we should consider reviewing your approval status…?
…now if I put a dab of peanut butter on his avatar, I bet he’ll still be The Colonel.
Don’t ever change. You’re too endearing.
