Far be it for me not to complain about the state of Blogland and such but truth be told, I have gained so much from BCUK et al.

I've met wonderfully beautiful, kind, loving, humorous, generous and simply fabulous people here in Blogland. And for that I am eternally grateful.

And some of these folks I've met in the flesh, in real time, in real life and I gotta say that if it wasn't for BCUK, I would never have met them, those lovely folks, and for that, I would gladly tolerate a blip every now and again, for the internet thingy can be fickle at best but it is truly a small price to pay for the rewards I have enjoyed.
