I’m not sure what I can tell you about my day. Rather, what I can tell you that won’t bore you to despair. Or, more likely, bore you enough to look at something better on the internet. Yes Stanley, that’s more likely.
Now I come to think of it, I’d quite like to do some impossible research that ascertains how long people are surfing the internet until they finally decide – out of a complete lack of remaining options – to read my Blog. It must be just about the last thing on the agenda, surely?
I’ve got a kind of routine when I log onto the internet. First of all it’s to check that I haven’t got an e-mail. Trying to pretend that I’m glad I haven’t, not slightly upset at all, I’ll move on to my regular websites.
These have a very definite order;
Firstly, being a hopeless fan, I make sure I’m up to date with all the latest news in Morrissey land on Morrissey-solo.com. It’s updated about once every three days. If it’s not updated within three days I get quite agitated for more Morrissey news. The news itself varies from the trivial (some survey in some useless magazine) to the groundbreaking and essential (new album, etc). I bloody love Morrissey-Solo, it often wins awards for the best fan site for any band/artist in existence and I think that’s true.
Then I’ll go to Richard Herrings website and read his Blog, called Warming Up. I refer to it on my first entry and don’t mind admitting it’s the main reason I’ve bothered to start mine up. That and the excellent reason that if I do all this for the ECHO for no money they might let me do lots more stuff in their paper. Like review pubs and restaurants. Yes! I could be the ECHO’s own Michael Winner. It wouldn’t need a dramatic transformation. I’d love to do that. It’s a subject I know a great deal about.
The third website I’d visit would be BBC Sport. The BBC have the best website in the world – bar none – and if you’re a sports fan it’s a bit like having your own sports channel, all the information, interviews and exclusives you need.
After that, I occasionally like to look at funny sites like B3TA, Rathergood, stuff like that.
Definitely not any porn. Not if the editor of the ECHO’s reading this and was, seconds earlier, definitely considering giving me that pub and restaurant reviewer job. Doesn’t want one of his journalists being a big internet porn freak.
The ECHO actually has a relatively new editor by the name of Alastair Machray. I don’t know much about him except a journalist friend of mine called Paddy Hoey says he’s a good bloke, and judging by his name he’s definitely Scottish and therefore of sound and decent nature.
Come to think of it, this Blog needs a little mission for all six of you to follow, instead of me telling you all about my pretentious and uninteresting professional projects. So let’s say the project should be hassling (in the nicest possible way) Mr Machray to let me do lots of things in his paper.
The project will be slightly interactive because if all my begging letters pay off, you’ll be able to buy the ECHO, read my articles, and then comment here on how rubbish you think they are. Won’t that be fun boys and girls? Or five boys and one girl, or six boys, or six girls, however you work out as a group.
