Happy 9th, DG
Amazing the way it adds up...
I’ve had Diamond Geezer in my bookmarks since October, 2003, shortly after he began his second year of posting (The link in my sidebar hides under Best London Trivia.), and if you find fascination in Things London (occasionally extending to Things British), you should, too. Lots of history and geography. Not much politics (except when the politicians do stupid things like replace the city’s beloved Routemasters with bendy buses - but now they’re getting rid of them, so that’s mostly settled, or do a rather slapdash job of "restoring†his neighborhood tube station). Excellently written (even natives find out things they don’t know), and quite an achievement.
Highly recommended.

Nine doesn’t sound a terribly large number, so let me recalculate. That’s 3287 days, at least 99% of which I’ve posted something on. There are 4667 posts altogether, some of them piddly and small, others major 1000+ word essays. I’m not sure precisely how many words I’ve written altogether, but it must be more than two million by now, which is approximately the same length as three Bibles. And you’ve added 50000 comments......innit?
