If there are any regular readers left of this blog they will have noticed a distinct lack of activity lately. The posts have been coming much less frequently and they’ve been even worse than before. Frankly, as we say in Scotland, The Earl of Hell’s Waistcoat has been on a shoogly peg.
I’ve enjoyed writing the blog over the last year or so, but I’ve come to the point where, if I’m going to continue with this blogging lark I think it makes sense to keep a blog that covers a specific theme instead of jumping from Mars Bars Suppers to Stripping Italian Housewives, passing obscure 80s Heavy Metal Bands on the way.
So I’ve decided to start a blog about Italy and Italian Culture. It’ll be probably be different from this blog: the posts will be shorter, but (hopefully) more frequent. The idea will be simply to share some stuff that I run into over here and may not be widely known outside of Italy. I’ve just started it, it’s called Spootfish and I hope to see you over there in the future.
I haven’t decided what I’ll do with this blog yet, but I don’t think I’ll be posting much here in the foreseeable future. So in case i do delete it, let me thank everyone who has posted a comment on it: I’ve enjoyed this year or so of blogging, and I’ve always enjoyed the comments part more than the writing part.
And just when I discovered this very blog…was it something I said?
Don’t give up on the Metal nostalgia, there is always mileage in that plus italian housewives who strip…
In the meantime while you over at Spootfish keep this particular effort dangling on the shoogly peg case you want to resuscitate it…
Jimmy, oddly enough I am considering starting a blog where every now and again I would post something about 70s and 80s Metal. It’s one of the things I have enjoyed blogging about and the banter is usually good. Plus, I’ve even had people from Snakebite and Wykkd Vikker commenting! I was thinking of doing it a while back, but never got round to it. Besides, somebody had already taken the name I was going to use, Planet Caravan. Bastards!
Planet Caravan is a good name there’s no doubt about that. Should you ever want to pick up the 70s/80s Metal theme there are plenty of adherents willing to follow the threads and throw in some headbanging anecdotes
Jimmy, I think you’ve sold me on that idea. Expect a blog soon with badly written posts on bands like Dio, Diamond Head, and Saxon. The chicks will go wild!
Fantastic!
Great news I am Looking forward to it!
