We’ve made it through October! (Which I’ve spent the past few weeks spelling “Oktober”. Damn the fest!) , and after a month hiatus, we’re back with showing respect to my Top Commenters and Sponsors. Here’s the list!
- Rhys confirms his geekiness by getting OS X Leopard.
- Ryan asks Who is The Sexy Comic Book Character of All Time. I always had a thing for She Hulk. If you disagree with me you’re frigid.
- Mike C links to the Street Fighter 4 Trailer. I will be blogging about this soon when I’m not screaming like a fanboy.
- MB Web Design begs you to Check Your Directory Pagerank
- Manuel visits a Corn Maze. In the UK, they are made of Maize. Hence the “Maize Maze”
- Madhur Kapoor posts his Keyword Blunders. Apparently you can Contact Cristiano Ronaldo from his site!
- Debbie contemplates what to wear for Halloween. As I write it, this is Halloween, and I’m on “Scare away Trick ‘n’ Treaters” duty with Bonnie. My outfit consists of a lacy black and burgandy Witches hat. Sexy, n’est pas?
- Chris Lodge in fine form, talks about the negativity associated with Google.
- Celeste has been far too busy to blog this month.
Of course, it’s not just my wonderful commenters that I love (in a non gay way), it’s also my sponsors, who keep me stocked up with Beer and Pringles.
- FiddyP, the blog of Andy Bailey - a guy who has had a multitude of jobs. He, and he uses his blog to - amongst other things - promote his Wordpress Plugins, such as a CommentLuv, which puts a link to the last blog post of every commenter. Top work!
- Blogging Dosh
- MiniJuegos

Where O Where Have I Been?
Well I have been a bit busy recently this month trying to keep my mind active whilst avoiding post holiday depression. I did start a Bid Directory, which is a cross between a toplist and a directory, where to get listed at the top of the site you have to pay more money than the person already listed there. It’s a pretty swish idea, and has been getting a few hits and a few bids, so I’m going to keep promoting it in conjunction with this blog.
I have also managed to watch a scary amount of football (which, on the whole, has been more depressing than Radiohead on with a lack of Serotonin) , drinking plenty of red wine and - as of now - dodging a ton of trick & treaters
There’s a couple of things that I’m doing this month which should be fun, but I’ll let you know at a later date.
And, to encourage this month’s commenting, here’s the usual three questions to stump you:
1. What does SIM (as in SIM Card) stand for?
2. With the exception of Vince McMahon, who are the only two men on the WWE Roster are grandfathers?
3. Which British League Football team has the longest name?
And finally, how was Halloween scary for you? For me, it was I paid so far this year £666 of National Insurance. I’m not sure if it was the number or the amount that scared me….

Rhys Wynne, the author of this blog, is a 20 something web designer from Colwyn Bay.
It’s true! Plus the fact that I don’t have the net at home so I can’t do the changes to my blog that I am planning. I have LOADS of saved posts though and you’re in for a treat.
As soon as Andy (hot housemate) fixes my wireless card thingy in my pc I should be back in action. Plus it’s a great excuse to get him in my room…..apart from when he usually walks in when pissed as a fart and proceeds to chat to me while I’m half naked!
Oh it’s an exciting house I live in!
SIM is Subscriber Identity Module I just wikipedia’d it… I thought I’d bagsy the easy one. I know Hulk isn’t a granddad, even though he is probably old enough to be one.
I don’t know any of the answers. It has been proven that I am not smarter than a 10 year old.
You can’t spell privilege properly (its on your comment rules page).
Oh yeah! I just hope someone else hasn’t already pointed it out.
Sibz
P.S. Can’t you install a spell / grammer checker, or do you do it just so occasionally I (or other people) get some comments in
Is it a little bit sad and pathetic on my part that I actually didn’t need to Google the definition of SIM?
In regard to the WWF (I refuse to call it WWE due to some panda hugging royal types!) I think Rick Flair must be a grand daddy. Just looking at the bloke gives me arthritis!
The longest team name must be Brighton and Hove Albion…or is it Dagenham and Redgrave? I’m sure it’s the Brighton and Hove massive. Either way, kudos on your blog my friend and I shall be back to post further in the coming weeks.
Cheerio
Oh yeah, and the second granddad of WWE….well I know it’s not Hulk Hogan, but I wish I could make that man a granddad! Have you seen his daughter! Sweet Jesus of Nazareth I would!
R.E. #2 - Batista is one, and the other must be Ric Flair or Jim Ross.
1. Subscriber Identity Module
2. Ric Flair and Batista
3. Nobody’s got yet, re-read the question
The first one is Subscriber Identity Module, it’s really pathetic that I don’t need to Wiki that one..
And as for the others? I’m stumped. I was going to say Queens Park Rangers!!! Longest football name I can think of off my non-football head.
Llanfair PG don’t have a footy squad do they?
Yes, but they are known as Llanfairpwll (for obvious reasons)
http://www.llanfairpwll.org/Peldroed/index.htm
Hang on just a cotton-pickin’ moment! Re-read the question? If you mean British rather than just English then Inverness Caledonian Thistle is longer than Brighton and Hove Albion. I think. Hold on, let me count. Yep 21 characters to the jocks 26. I dinnae believe it!
Yes
Total Network Solutions Llansantffraid(35)? Thats a long one, don’t know if its the correct name or spelling though. or wolverhampton wonderers (22)
No, they’re officially know as “The New Saints”, and before that “Total Network Solutions”, and before that “Llansantffraid”
Thanks for the link love mate . And about contacting Cristiano Ronaldo , wish that was true.
I’m not going to pretend to know the answers to any of your questions, but I’ll say just that I really wish WWE would get its act together and put out some quality content like in the good ol WWF vs WCW days! Do you think that anyone really cares about “Big Daddy V” who walks around with the Vulcan, “Live Long and Prosper” sign all the time?
Probably not, though it’s a cure for obesity
Rhys are you catching any of the WWE shows next April? I managed to bag 6th row ringside for Raw at the O2 (just across the river from where I’m living too) - superb! Although the £60 per ticket price tag is a little inflated for my liking.
Also, do you follow boxing at all? Our boy Calzaghe’s fighting Kessler tomorrow night. I’m nervous
(Comments wont nest below this level)
I don’t follow boxing, and not catching any of the shows next April (the nearest one is in Liverpool, which I actually wouldn’t mind seeing, as lord knows a few people would probably start a riot), but did catch Eddie Guerrero’s last match on these shores before his untimely death, so have been before.
I’ll see if I can though, we were in the cheap seats at £20 a pop.
Thanks for the shout out man!
