It’s interesting to look back at the nascent stages of Law Actually; on 19th February 2007 and in my first post, my uncertainty as to the wisdom of setting up a second blog was clear:
“I’ve bravely decided to start a new blog, the principal reason being that my original [blog – F1 Central] was becoming just too much of a dumping-ground for the multitude of issues (besides F1) that I started to cover.”
Before that I had been blogging over at F1 Central which has withered and died completely in the last 12 months or so.
In that initial post on Law Actually, I also highlighted my tendency to veer off at tangents:
“...I’ll still diverge and digress at most given opportunities (on both blogs) but at least this way, there will be a fundamental divide between F1 and Law(ish) related-thingies.”
Obviously, some things don’t change. But still, Law Actually wouldn’t be the same without my off-piste entries, would it?
Are we meant to say "Many Happy Returns" at this juncture or not? I've never been quite sure.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want F1 posting again this year! I'm going to get back into the "pinnacle" again with the BBC coverage (and the fact I'll be at Silverstone over my Birthday weekend - timing :) ), so need someone to join in with.
I really enjoy reading the blog and hope that we'll see another two years of blogging!
ReplyDeleteSounds good ASP. I've been a bit lukewarm over F1 since Michael retired. The new regs might be just what I needed to reignite my enthusiasm. I might return to F1 posting... or I might drive the final nail into the coffin with a "this blog is now defunct" post. Time will tell. Since last March it's kind of been hanging there in limbo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Oliver. I hope to be around and active in the blawgosphere for a while yet. :-)
Hippo Birdie, Michael! :))
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Minxy and Andro. Law Actually is feeling quite a big, grown-up boy now. :-)
