What about the homeowners package though seems like a good idea to get the market moving again.

Well done Luke. I'm back to a more sensible mid-pack position after over-promotion last time. But the methodology is of course different. Last time this list was settled by a team of lefty worthies rather than a public vote of bloggers of all stripes. And last year in the public vote part - which did determine the top-100 list - voters were aloud to name 20.

Please remove my weblog from your version of this list. I do not wish to be associated with it and I am very annoyed that Dale has gone ahead and included me anyway:

Congratulations.

I'm finding this list of Iain's is a great way of finding other blogs out there, now that I've taken my tartan specs off...

Hope you don't mind me linking to your site in a "Tim" sort of way (if you know what I mean...)

If you need a good laugh read no. 96 - Macuaid.

The anti-Iraq war traitor supports Russia's invasion of Georgia.

What a prick.

And a hypocrite.

You're in a list with Chris Paul.

He posts just to say how happy he is to be in the same list as you.

Don't you feel ... a pointless waste of space.

How are you left of centre? If you are left of centre, God only knows what that makes the rest of us.
