I generally keep posts about Toon news on Look At This... unless it's something big.I've already posted news of our interest and i shall follow up if the situation changes.

Can you not read Farsi (or whatever it is) like? :)

I'm quite curious as to his method for putting smileys in Blogger comments though. I'm off to learn Farsi.

Newcastle Photos said...

EH? How come the answer came before Mo's question?
Suppose this comment won't show up until 2-30 anyway.Or something.

mmChronic said...

Yeah the commenting appears broke - there's a few where the index page has a comment count but the post page has nowt.

So you are asking the Iranian if he is a Jew then? That's our Dogs - offensive as ever. :)

mmChronic said...

That's alright tehn. I'm sure they won't be offending by 'Are you a Jew spying on Iran' question then! :)

Talking of Iranian spies - Fox News were reporting two Iranian agents were arrested in Baghdad with bomb stuff. If I can find a link on a proper new source I'll stick it up.

mmChronic said...

Here's a novelty - a comment relevant to the post instead of whinging about stuff or offending people of other nations! :)

The article says the word charver was created in Newcastle in the 90s. I know for a fact this was in use in the early 80s.

New Links - more accurate than the Evening Chronicle. Sometimes.

A better read than the chronicle aswell.

No one can be prevented from signing up to Blogger - certainly not by me. So nowt to with me then. Unless of course you meant you want Lisa to post? I suppose we need someone extra with Bungers away and you too busy whinging/arguing to post much - but I very much doubt LIsa would want to leave herself open to teh abuse we give each other on here :)

As for multitasker or workshy fob. That'll be the former. I booked in shitloads of good, working code yesterday. More than you wrote. Probably.

I'll show you my latest build tonight of the solo project I'm doing for a major banking group. When you are the only coder on the project it's difficult to hide if you're doing nowt.

I will leave the arguing to the two of you,
I don't think anyone else would want to get involved once you start!!
I am just a reader and have an input when it takes my fancy!

Lisa, I suppose Dogs is right for a change. You should do the 2 minute sign up so you can at least comment with a proper login.

BS: We are just addicted to linking I reckon. Blog of the week would be nice - we're a better read than all your previous ones! ;)

Blogger is badly borked and has been for a few days. The status page reckoned they'd fixed whatever it was. We know different.

mmChronic said...

I've just reread Mo's comment about smileys earlier. It was the posts he was talking about not comments. In which case we can (and do) stick whatver we like in. In fact I think Bungers did a post using Haloscan smileys a while back.

mmChronic said...

Cheers Byker!

So is that good enough for you Dogs? We have now been linked to by a blog that was linked to from the Guardian. Quality by proxy. or something.

mmChronic said...

He does like a male man daily if that's any good?

He made some pronouncement the other day about the Guardian being the be all and end all of blog reporting. He's not happy until we get in there.

We probably have an outside chance of that now because he is no longer sitting alone drunk in front of his PC until the small hours of the morning posting filth for us to find in the morning.

Newcastle Photos said...

I noticed NewLinks was rather less smutty these days.I think a small percentage of that is due to the absence of Bungers too. ;)

mmChronic said...

Yeah - but the really weird ones we found in the mornings were always Dogs'.

mmChronic said...

With the added advantage that it will be DCB arrested for accessing horse pr0n sites rather than yourself. Yay!

:lol:

We'll probably be busy fighting our own Northumbrian revolution.

mmChronic said...

I can't speak for you but I know we won't be very civil in a war with the mackems.

There are policies in place to deal with sundlind come the revolution. We will be improving the area by turning it into the world's largest land fill site.
