Post Recycling – July 2009

There were only 4, rather uninteresting, posts published on PSGOM last July.  This clearly doesn’t bode well for me being able to write a fascinating edition of Post Recycling.  Regular readers will know that I’m a bit OCD about completing my regular posts, and so I am compelled to write it anyway.  In some ways, this makes it a good month as it won’t require much work to complete.  `

The month started with My New Love For The Radio, a post listing my friend, and Warrington legend, Dave Burley’s upcoming radio appearances.  As these all occurred over a year ago, the post is now pretty redundant.  It’s a bit embarrassing to actually mention it at all, but when you’ve only got two posts to choose from then you have no choice.

There were two entries into the Milk Bottle Manifesto, the first being Swine Flu.  This is significant because it’s the first MBM that wasn’t written by myself.  Although, it’s not really that significant.  The other was Scorpions!, which was inspired by a stag do in Portugal that I’d just got back from.  We were in a rock bar with a local band performing covers of, unsurprisingly, rock classics.  We thought it would be really funny to shout out “we want the Scorpios” in a variety of stupid voices to try and persuade them to do a Scorpions track - presumably Wind of Change as this is the only one we’d heard of.  It didn’t work, but we amused ourselves greatly.  I know it doesn’t sound tres hilarious now, but it was at the time. 

The final post of the month was about book-swapping web-site, Bookmooch.  It makes me sad to read it as it reminds me of the days when I was actually capable of reading a book.  That all seems so long ago now and I seem to have devolved into a complete philistine.  If you have a load of spare books, though, then I highly recommend going on Bookmooch.
