Ten Thousand Welcomes To You

Bah. So much for the hiatus I had planned. I’m back, back, back and looking slightly different.

For those of you who were wondering, there was no big reason for my hissy fit. It had nothing to do with PMS, or Motley Crue (or as I like to call them Meutley Crew-eh) it was just a massive dose of pique.

I’d managed to delete the short-lived Metro Letters blog, which bless it hadn’t even been given a chance to get going, and my finger was hesitating tantalisingly over the infamous Delete Blog button when I hesitated.

Two things came to mind, firstly a dramatic exit would be better and secondly I knew deep down I’d be back (and apparently in less than a week)

As it turned out, I went for the enigmatic “brb” approach, foregoing the additional k thanx bai I’d often seen elsewhere.

So Oye Billy is returned and what’s different this time?

Not a great deal, truth be told, there’s the slightly different backdrop of WordPress to be considered of course. I had lofty ideas about different styles of posts, different amounts and so on, but if I’ll be honest it’s going to end up pretty much the same.

So if you remember my Blogger blog and you enjoyed it, welcome! I will be adding a full blogroll in due course, so please bear with me.

If you didn’t like my Blogger blog, I question your judgement in coming here, but hope I can convert you.

If you’ve never heard of my Blogger blog then welcome. I’m Billy, even though that’s not my real name and this is my blog.

What else to say. Well I suppose I could have an official press launch, complete with canapés and the finest champagne available to humanity but it’s a bit late for that.

So pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of Cava and I’ll just go and get you a sausage roll (or soya alternative for you vegetarians) and here’s to blogging!

Hurrah!

    First! Hah!!

    Congratulations! I love what you’ve done with the place. It’s so you!

    What about people who do remember your blogger blog, but hold no opinion about it whatsoever?

    And is it considered vulgar to dunk one’s soya alternative in one’s Cava?

  3. Rosie on

    but Billser, the old blog was so pretty.

    Welcome to your new home, Billy. Long may you blog in her.

  5. MJ on

    Yummers!

    Itchy feet? Was MetroLetters just a testing ground before you upped sticks and moved over the road to WordPress?

  7. patroclus on

    Hurrah!

    Good choice. WordPress is, like, so much more civilised. Visiting blogger is like going to see your demented aunt.

  9. Tim Footman on

    No, Blogger has character and personality. It’s Hong Kong to the sterile functionality of WordPress’s Singapore.

    Oh – it’s very neat isn’t it? Sorry – I’ve just dropped a cheese football onto your new rug. Iced gem anyone?

  11. Rullsenberg on

    Clean and sleek: is that you?
    ;)

    Welcome to the new blog home: WordPress so suits you…

  12. Annie Rhiannon on

    Noooooooh! WordPress!

    Is it really so much better? I feel abandoned.

  13. Sylvia on

    At least you’re back. After LC and Spinsterella abandoning us, I didn’t feel that I could cope with another departure. I might have to do some cleaning then.

  14. Llewtrah on

    It just feels so strange, sort of like defecting to the other side. And I miss the pretty background.

  15. wyndham on

    I seem to have touched a raw nerve with Tim…

  16. Murph on

    Oi Billy! A good relaunch is like collonic irrigation.

    WordPress is a suit and tie over crisp boxer shorts.

    Blogger is jeans and a t-shirt over claggy old y-fronts.

    Whatever you feel most comfortable with.

  18. patroclus on

    I like to think of Blogger as jeans and a t-shirt over a polka-dot bra and extravagantly trimmed satin knickers from Mimi Holliday.

    Blogger is a six foot four rugby playing chemistry student dressed in a blonde wig, nightie, industrial boots and red lipstick for rag week, sitting with his legs akimbo and drinking Snakebite.

    Welcome to your new home.

  20. Twisted Ister on

    Still don’t understand why you switched over – doesn’t matter really, but good luck to ya, me ol’china.

  21. oyebilly on

    Thanks all for the welcomes. I think WordPress is Qatar to Blogger’s UAE. Or something.

  22. The Ill Man on

    Oh ‘ello! Well, can’t say I’m too fussed about WordPress, but as someone said, I’m just glad yr still blogging mate. Do all WordPress blogs come in blue only?

  23. llewtrah on

    All the old OyeBilly has gone :( All the stuff about toilet science vanished!!

  24. Boz on

    Oh so this is where you went. My invitation to the press launch must have got lost in the post. Who knew the Blogger/WordPress divide ran so deep, so deep…

  25. Llewtrah on

    I’m going to run away to LiveJournal!!!! Bwahahaha

  26. oyebilly on

    There will be more toilet science. In due course.

    It was just me at the press launch.

    I get confused by Livejournal, this is more of the same.

  27. Semaphore on

    FOUND YOU!

    Now it’s my turn to hide…
