I just wanted to write up a very quick post tonight to say “CHECK ME OUT”
I’m really excited about the fact that I just went into the 100’s in the follower department.
Thank you so much you crazy bunch of blog heads!
Now I have always said that followers weren’t the big thing for me – that what I prefer are readers – and I still think that way. I’d have a reader over a one hit follower any day. I really do mean that too. The aggressive ‘follow me follow you’ side of blogging has always narked me. Though I have to say I have mellowed a little on that score over time. It is just one of those things, and I have to say it is polite at the end of the day, to follow back, when you can – and you can only actually read so many blogs in a day. Which is why it is more special when people take the time to actually read you.
Having said that…
Having over 100 followers is brill.
Properly brill.
Not everyone is a faux follower at the end of the day and I know that. I love that people come here and read…
LOVE IT
What do you think the follower/reader percentages are? 20% - 30%? Maybe 50%
Okay so if we say 50% of followers actually come and read then…
Wait for it…
Sorry – just taking my shoes and socks off.
Dammit I can still only count to 22.
(I’m from the country – what can I say)
BLOODY HELL!!
I reckon, just by sitting here and writing down the daft stuff that I see around me, and because I happen to quite enjoy reading what other idiots get up to (and there are a lot of us about) something like 50.5 people (had to use a calculator in the end) now actually come and read here from time to time!
That is amazing! – I love it. It really does impress me. 50 might not be enough to impress a publisher but it would make a mighty fine swingers night (not at my house though – we only have one swing and that can’t take more than 40 Kilos, so I can’t see the party being a success).
I didn’t even have to pretend I was going to VLOG or anything – sorry, but it had to be said. You know who you are, I won’t name names but it would be remiss of me if I missed the opportunity to say something about the distinct lack of promise fulfilment! You might well be one of my absolute favourite bloggers young lady, but you are not too big to go on the naughty step.
Any way – Have a great weekend you lovely bunch, and thank you for making mine just that little bit nicer.

Huh. *looks around* Why whoever do you mean??
Ugh. I hate when people don't keep their promises!! Aack!
I absolutely do belong on the naughty step for that. I need technical help. Lots of it.
But enough about me, it has always seemed that the people who aren't regularly reading here are doing themselves a great disservice.
To which I would normally say THEIR LOSS! However its always nice to see a great writer get the appreciation they deserve. And you certainly deserve it Glen.
Yay for Glen!! Nice one boy-wonder!!

Right back at ya bud.
Please can I use the computer to look at rugs now?
Congratulations on the growing cult of Glen's life!
You could have no followers and I would still be impressed by your sense of humor.
I certainly read all of your posts, don't always leave comments, but I should. I know how I feel when I don't get comments from some of my readers. 50% is a good guess, I think that is about the same I figured out with my blog. I'll at least say hi from now on.
Congrats I will keep following and reading as long as you keep writing :-)
That is awesome! The good bloggers are always hoarding up all of the followers.
Well done you - you deserve 100 readers. You're have a real talent for making me feel like I'm in the room (or on the moor) with you when you tell stories.
PS I read everyday thanks to my google reader! It's a very nice way to start my workday. :-)
I'm pretty sure that some of my followers will have popped over to your blog seeing as I've been told from a few of them that they love reading your comments as much as my posts!
Well-deserved!

You lot are a class bunch :-)
Yay Glen! I'm a regular 'reader' and I think I follow your blog as well but I'm not sure. If you make my blog roll, I'm here.
The whole 'follow me follow you' thing narks (great word - you Brits are so good at the descriptors) me as well. Life in a Pink Fibro wrote some good words about that today. It's all a bit cultish as well. I've noticed that there are some blogs out there that only exist to do blog hops to other blogs to follow them... weird.
ANYWAY, the writing, the fun, the laughs, the merriment... it's all here, Glen. x
Congratulations! This is definitely cause for celebration! I'm blowing the vuvuzela now. Can you hear it???
Congratulations. You are fun to read and I like to read your wife's comments too cause' she'll keep ya real.
Congrats on the 100 followers. You deserve every one of us loons and more.
I personally am here for the obvious cat fight you are trying to start with someone I won't mention. Though I do hate to miss an opportunity to name names.
