Longer Matthew Turner
Looking at my blog comments I have noted that some of them are too long. Some blogger (Peter?) pointed out recently that if people have long comments then they should really go and write their own blog, and I have to agree.However looking at my recent posts I realise that there is a slight risk of hypocrisy here. Thus I am going to limit all my own posts to 500 words. That should at the very least save time.
ps Sun am. This post also shows the folly in blogging after a day spent drinking at Wimbledon. I've hardly ever written a post 500 words long, so limiting myself to that is a bit like saying to Tony Blair 'can you just try and be a little less truthful'. New limit is 350 words.
pps Is there a word for the great sense of happiness one gets when about to embark on a long train journey late Saturday night and you find the station is already selling Sunday's newspapers? And is there a word for how you feel when you fall asleep reading the Observer on said train and wake up three stops too late?
