You're being too harsh on yourself though .. the name might have got us through the door (I suspect most of us were looking for examples of his dreadful quotes when we found it) but you forget what kept us there - achingly funny well executed stories - the characterisations were spot on. imaginable in a grotesque parallel universe kind of way if that makes sense - so I see what you are saying but the Richard madeley monicker wasn't the only reason people enjoyed it - that was just the tip of the iceburg..stunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729674823895661245.post-89410163688231633572015-04-09T06:49:15.000-07:002015-04-09T06:49:15.000-07:00Oh, well...

[Blushes slightly.] That's nice of you to say so but I think for every one person like you, there are thousand who visited it and didn't see what you saw. And it still doesn't me feel much better when I still see people attributing my work to him. Yet I suppose it's just raging ego on my behalf. I want fingers pointed at me and people saying 'Ah, I wonder what he thinks about the state of Britain's roads' or 'I wonder what he might recommend that I read next'. Instead, I've just become another nameless generator of internet crap and the world is already full of them.David Waywellhttp://www.the-spine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729674823895661245.post-52870676665158207202015-04-09T16:40:44.000-07:002015-04-09T16:40:44.000-07:00nope i dont agree unless there are truely gullible...nope i dont agree unless there are truely gullible people out there - no it was spot on funny stuff..i think i found it through googling richard madeley is a tw*t..anyhows if you dont mind a minor critique - you know i mean bloody well..if you are doing the spine - i'd relaunch it as something else - the spleen perhaps - or whatever - make it zippy start a new, and keep your personal and the satire to one side - by all means bung the personal stuff on here if you want somewhere - i see much of me in you mate - but keep the proper site tight - serious comment , wit with words and the drawings - which are brilliant - keep it tight - maybe issue it in full weekly with teasers in between.. i dunno seperate you from it and bung that somewhere else - i find it interesting all of it - but i can see some stranger logging on and seeing a bad day post and buggering off without looking at it - you have great bloody skills - start a knew one or two , a clean broom and all that - you have the talent, learn from the past and crack it..i have every faith in you.change the brand mate ..do serious,funny and pics - give yourself time to do them, and post them in the morning - you only bloody post at night - make it a regular dose - and dont pressure yourself - we'll follow you wherever - dont forget that..bless you david take care - i hope i havent pissed you off.stunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729674823895661245.post-31813195165114591612015-04-09T16:43:06.000-07:002015-04-09T16:43:06.000-07:00that didnt read well - keep the satire but distanc...that didnt read well - keep the satire but distance the private.stunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729674823895661245.post-35585609053502429992015-04-10T06:33:42.000-07:002015-04-10T06:33:42.000-07:00That read perfectly and I utterly agree. In fact, ...That read perfectly and I utterly agree. In fact, you've put into words a thing I've been mulling over for a while. I feel like I'd like a new start on a new blog and doing what you suggest might be a way to do that. The problem is that I have different parts to myself and they're not always that easy to seperate. I have my silly side, my satirical side, my serious side, and then there's 'me' who holds it all together and feels like a need to vent my spleen when times are hard (and they're usually hard).<br><br>However, I think you're right and I'll do that today. New blog. I've been planning on changing it for a while but worried about page rank and all that. Well, perhaps I'll forget about page rank and simply see what happens.<br><br>You know you never piss me off. It's good to know there's somebody out there actually following my work. Thanks for the advice. It was really helpful.
