The Megaphone : A Debate Blog

Archive for April 2008

First of all I would like to apologise to anyone who kindly subscribes to this blog, as it was hacked by some WordPress hacking scoundrels who hid hundreds of dirty filthy spam links to hardcore pornography in my posts for subscribers to see… I took the liberty of fully examining every single link, to make sure it definitely was porn… it was (thanks to Sam for pointing this out).

Anyway after numerous hours of browsing those dirty dirty links I finally took the time to solve the problem which was mainly caused by my lazy ass not updating my WordPress since version 2.1. I am now running a fully functioning version of 2.5 with no links to pornography… unless you count linking to Celeste’s sex fest of a blog. I really should have updated sooner, because WordPress 2.5 is ace… I highly recommend it.

I thought with a new version of WordPress I should change the look of this dated old sucker, so I have a theme that I have been working on, which is nowhere near finished, as you will see if you scroll down to the completely un-cssified footer. I have added some new features too, like the Polls in the sidebar which I’m hoping will be pretty good fun. I am also going to add a revolving header image to keep things fresh.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I spelled Archives wrong up top… and it was lovingly hand written damn my Welsh inability to spell.

So yes, I just thought I would update you on the goings on and keep looking out for further changes.

p.s. I was also accepted by TLA to advertise here, but I’m not sure whether t go for it due to the Google bashing I will receive… what do you guys think… should I do it? The hosting bill is wigga-da-wigga-da-wack.

Hello, kids. It has been a long time I know, but I’m back and I’m bigger than ever… I don’t know why, that just sounded right.

Anyway, I have got a lot to get off my chest, but let’s start with an easy one. Since the invention of the amazing boredom saver known as the TV people have been reading less and less. Along with the TV we have computer games, which are also an ace boredom killer. I suppose the internet has probably got people reading a bit, but that’s not proper reading… you’re reading this, but if anything it will probably make you less intelligent and less cultured.

I have to admit that I’m not a big reader. I get really into a book, but then I can’t be bothered reading it so I leave it for a bit… then when I go back to reading it I have forgotten what has happened so I have to start again and it’s a vicious cycle. The last book I actually read from start to finish was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, which admittedly is a kids book, but a very good one. I am currently reading Russel Brand’s autobiography, as Sarah thinks I have a man crush on him… I do not.

So do you read, what are you reading, do you think the next generation of kids will be silly because they play Halo instead of reading Dickens… let me know.

Big Love… Ryan

Latest from the Megaphone blog…

I have been thinking about what happened to Mr Muscle and was Laura White wrongly dismissed from the X Factor. Lately I have also been pondering what your Halloween costume of choice is... mine is not the old toilet roll mummy. I also pondered who is the sexiest 007 and who is the sexiest bond girl. I also wanted to know which books you are reading at the moment. In other news some sunovabitch keep hot-linking to my sexy picture of Kate Moss and I am not happy about it grrrr. Also Shannyn Sossamon, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Hello Boys, Carol Vorderman and Angelina as Tomb Raider.
