Mike’s week-long marathon is at an end and Shaggy Blog Stories is digitally published. You can buy it here<\/a> for a mere \u00a38.96 of which \u00a33.63 goes to Comic Relief (the online publishers, Lulu, have donated all their profit but note you have to add postage). I had trouble coming up with my own contribution to the book (I don’t really do ‘funny’ which was the qualification for inclusion). Then I looked at my handful of deleted posts. Most of these were ones I removed when I wanted to keep entries about a conference I was running high on the site, but the one in the book (I can be found at number 78 of 100)… let’s just say that while it’s a wry, kind of funny story, it has a definite ‘biting the hand that feeds you’ element that made me take it down after a few days. But not before a Sunday Times journalist rang me about a story and, before we started discussing it said: ‘you won’t write about this call on your web-site, will you?’ <\/p>\n

Anyway, if that doesn’t intrigue you enough, the book also includes contributions by, amongst many brilliant others, Girl With A One Track Mind, My Boyfriend Is A Twat, Andrew Collins, Swish Cottage and the Diva himself. (Full list on his site here<\/a>). And it’s for a great cause. If you’ve read this far, you know you really want to click on the link above, but to make giving even easier, here it is again<\/a>. Enjoy! Now I’m off to buy my copy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
