Twenty Major on blogging and bloggers: "They make you laugh, they turn you on, you sympathise with them, you understand their point of view or their politics or they're just a good storyteller.

Whatever the reason, you go back hoping they've posted something because you know you're going to enjoy it. You might comment, they might comment on yours, little blog friendships are made. Sometimes they last, sometimes they're like the warmth of wetting yourself on a cold day. A brief feeling of warmth which then becomes cold and uncomfortable far too quickly." http://twentymajor.blogspot.com/

Swearing Lady

"Any criticism directed at anything that even faintly whiffs of shamrocks will leave you open to such accusations. You're an unpatriotic prick whose head is filled with socialism. You're defective. You probably vote for the Greens. Sick, dude! Sick! Being bad-minded, and deriving a strange sort of pleasure from watching the Coalition unable to free its monster head from its monster colon, has me in the mood for a cup of tay and some fiction writing, so off I go now to be subversive in a parallel Ireland." http://arseendofireland.blogspot.com/
