The World's Greatest Blog

If you’ve followed my story around the world over the past three or four years, you’ll probably know one thing about me, if nothing else: I don’t go in for “that materialistic bullshit.” You’ll note the quotation marks I put around that phrase. Its not one of mine. Its a phrase that was said to [...]

Hooray! We have moved! The World’s Greatest Blog now has the world’s third greatest domain name (I’ll leave it to you to guess at the first two in the comments section below!) in “Greatest-Blog.com” and this is great news because it means that we shall no longer be talking about boring, work related stuff here [...]

In my capacity as the Lord of the Internet, I have decided to bestow the first honour out to one worthy individual. The internet is still in its infancy, and it needs its early Gods. We all know just how important pictures of dogs and cats wearing hats are to the general fabric of the [...]

Viral Video: there’s something about the name that makes one feel ill. I got an email through one of our comment forms on this domain today.

A week on Saturday, it is more than just the Aintree Grand National, it is also the last full day Linda and I will be spending in the British Isles for, on Sunday 11th April, we shall be moving to France for 6 months, with no immediate plans to return. This is my announcement, for [...]

I thought long and hard before writing this post – not least because it does sometimes seem that the only time I ever write in this most personal of blogs is to either a) make a complaint, b) spout about some business thing or other we might be setting up or, c) something technical or [...]

Here’s another of those phrases that you wish you’d coined, but I got in first with an online blog post about it so therefore, I now own it… “Rarer than the JML Snuggie” Who would have thought it, really. I mean really. Its a blanket. With arms. Out of all the products I have ever [...]

Time for a wholesale change of this page now, after it became apparent that Google agreed with my outrageous claim to be “Lord of the Internet” back in June 2009, when I wrote this very page following a night of high drama in the mean streets of Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.
