The Lord Lords It Up On The Internet

Since putting The Astonishing Adventures of Lord Likely up on the internet some two months ago, I have been delighted to see that many people have been as excited and invigorated by these journals as I have. It seems I am not alone in my insatiable lust for history.

Today, for example, has seen two glowing reviews for the journals. Top Blog Mag, in the latest issue of their online magazine, says the diaries are, "the daftest, laugh out loud funny, wonderfully politically incorrect blogs I have ever read". I could not agree more!

Meanwhile, The Pisstakers selected Likely as their 'bonus blog' on their 'MyBlogLog Sunday' competition. They say, "This guy, sorry, gentle-man, is seriously amusing". They are quite right, of course.

It brings a lump to my throat, it really does. And, I don't mind telling you, a lump to my trousers. I really do love history, you know.

Finally, the internet super-high-way has also helped me regain contact with old friends, such as my old mucker Bill Blunt, that straight-talking, straight-shooting, striaght man; and damn fine journalist to boot. It has been a pleasure to rekindle our friendship online, and to browse his selection of fine articles. Keep it up, Bill!
