I am not a hardcore blogger.
How do I know this? I've been down with a cold since Monday and, as such, I've not bothered to post anything at all here.
If I were hardcore, I'd be blogging my way through my sickness, like Mr Butcher. But I'm not. I'm a wimpy blogger, and I've been devoting my writing time to whining on twitter instead…
Anyway, thanks to the wonders of modern medication, I'm starting to feel human again, and thus will grace you again with my bloggy thoughts.

Sure, most bloggers just whine anyway :-)Good to see you're feeling better.
I'm flattered Sir, but it's nothing us Superhuman, hard-core bloggers wouldn't normally do. Actually, I'm reminded of the time I posted to the blog just after spontaneously combusting... (or was that when I was drumming in Spinal Tap?)
But on a more serious note - the blog to which you refer is also, technically speaking, a publication which has to come out every day, cold or no cold, which meant that I often posted at odd hours, bluntly, when I felt better. There's something here in terms of how journalists may have to start working - fitting in writing at times that are not deemed 'normal', just because it's a way of keeping a title ticking over. That's when you take most advantage of the flexibility of online publishing and virtual working. Or something...
Anyway, here's one for all the other guys out there with Man Colds. I'm with you, in spirit:

I believe that choosing where to whine is an important service for your readers! :-)
