Though I’m sure no one’s going back to this old thread I still want to mention that Joel Biroco’s Journal (www.biroco.com/journal) which I’d given up for dead in a post above is back online and its master again musing, sometimes morbidly but always beautifully, about his life. Highly recommended.

Maria Thanks for the plug. You do know that we are a bunch of loony libertarians though, don’t you?

It’s my favourite UK public transport blog after Transport Blog. Hm. Were you to say this about me I might not be flattered, but possibly there are more UK public transport blogs than I think.

My own favorite British blog (well, the only one I read regularly) is/was Joel Biroco’s Journal, http://www.biroco.com/journal, the occasional musings of a depressed, angry-eloquent writer, editor, I Ching scholar and Chaos Magick practicioner about his isolated life in London. His site has become less and less accessible, his musings about chucking the whole thing more frequent, and I’m afraid he’s finally given it up. A shame, since he’s the best writer I’ve yet encountered on the blog scene. There’s so much talent out there that just never gets noticed.
