Bit late on the Band Wagon

For a virgin blog posting, this has been a long time coming. The moment of truth arrived earlier this evening when my blog creation intentions of the last few years saw me typing http://www.blogger.com into my browser.

So far so good. But then came the name game. I'd left this whole blogging malarkey a bit late. Other folks had run off with all those premium blog titles. In desperation I checked if “sdfsdf.blogspot.com” was available. It wasn’t. I very nearly gave up. Corny puns flew from my fingertips into the “Check Availability” box, to be rebuffed and scorned.

What I am trying to say is that the title of this blog is somewhat arbitrary. It got the thumbs up from the machine and it has a nice tongue-in-cheek quality. I know it implies something about being precocious and disarmingly deceptive. Well, be that as it may, that’s not really me, but there’s the word butter, which I really like. Especially Lurpak. Oooh, spreadable Lurpak. Get behind me Santa!! If anything was to tempt me to benign deceipt it would be food though, so perhaps the name’s more appropriate than I’m letting on.
