There are loads of good blogs out there. But these are a few I check in with pretty much every day.
Slugger O’Toole for (Northern) Irish politics. Mick Fealty is the main man behind it.
Cultural Snow by the prolific Tim Footman. He’s just brought out a book summing up the past decade, The Noughties. He’s got another about Leonard Cohen coming out in October 2009 I think.
The Little Pinch of Salt is the up and down, here and there life and love of Annie.
In his blog Why That’s Delightful!, Graham Linehan waxes alternately whimsical and wrathful at the ways of the world. You never know when he’ll suddenly spark off a popular uprising – on the Scottish media and Dunblane survivors for instance, or his twitter campaign on the political football that the NHS has become in the United States. (You’ll remember Graham from Father Ted. Ah you will, you will, you will… Sorry.)
And Strange Maps is a by turns gentle and incisive exploration of the geography of the world and the mind, via unusual maps.
To all the above. Thanks for the inspiration. All eejitry here is, of course, my own fault.
