Iain Dale said...

You are right, but his blog disdn't sent 100 people my way in August so it doesn't figure on the list!

very impressive numbers Iain.

Suspect I send you one or two - do you have room for a little labour blogger on your blogroll?

you may be interested in the derby defections story that never was - we now know the truth.

It's amazing how the Arsenal blog has gone straight to the top, what about West Ham, do they have a blog too?

Tim Daw said...

Oh dear - I am falling out the charts like Charlie Dore and "Pilot of the Airways", but I hope to return to higher billing soon.
I'm sure in the excitement of the conference season your blog's readership will experince a huge tumescence.

the list of top 100 conservative blogs must include Choice Cuts.

site looks better with the lefthand column sorted and, miracle of miracles, fingers, toes and anything else that will cross crossed and in contact with wood, the classy dark blue is hanging around! although the mere mention of this welcome development will immediately put some sort of polychromatic curse on things.

245k hits / 187k unique.... gap narrowing...

Goodness - no wonder you 'slipped out' Ellee - too boring.
However, don't take a leaf out of Iain's blog and site 'Goff' - too ghastly

Tim - don't bore us with your 'holiday snaps' yawn, yawn

Who's up-to-date - what do y'all think's happening in Thailand?

..... sundry answers on a post-card please..... and I bet you now, Iain's will be the most amusing (!)
