I stole this from Neath, who stole it from Wes, who stole it from alimalie!! Answers are based on Mask.....

1) Are you happy/satisfied with your blog's content and look? A lot happier now. I have been out of the loop on computers for sometime now, so I had some serious catching up to do. Now I have learnt a few more tricks, I am very happy with the look. As for content, wish I could spend more time on it to be honest. My better posts take a couple of hours to write due to the research element and, with the best will in the world, I have a full-time job and a wife to think about so I can't dvout hours on end to it.


2) Does your family know about your blog? Some do, some don't. I told some after an extract was published in The Guardian - I was just too damn excited!!

3) Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog? Most of my friends are relieved because I now have an outlet and I don't bash their ears anymore over my thoughts!!

4) Did blogging cause positive changes in your thoughts? No, it entrenched them if anything.

5) Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or do you love to go and discover more by yourself? Sometimes I click on the next blog link, sometimes I pick random right-wing sites to stalk......depends on my mood.

6) What does a visitor counter mean to you? Do you like having one on your blog? I guess it is important as I would like people to know what is really going on. However, you are never going to change minds, just confirm them, so in that respect I suppose it doesn't matter.

7) Did you try to imagine your fellow bloggers and give them real pictures? No.

8) Admit it. Do you think there is any real benefit in blogging? Yeah, it provides an outlet and publicises events that are otherwise ignored. Even the media are bringing dragged along by stories that are doing the rounds on blogs.

9) Do you think that Blogger's society is isolated from the real world or interaction with events? Nope. It is the real world. The world that people hide from society. The side they like to pretend doesn't exist. This is a way for them to be themselves without the peer group pressures.

10) Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it is a normal thing? It emboldens me.

11) Do you fear some political blogs and avoid them? Mmmm, I embrace them. They are certainly shaping the news agenda more and more, although not enough for my liking.

12) Were you shocked by the arrest of some bloggers? It is an affront to liberty and free speech.

13) What do you think will happen to your blog after you die? People will look at it and think I was a crazy far-left extremist. Perhaps I am.

14) What song do you like to hear? What song would you like to link to on your blog? I hinted to this earlier, Harrowdown Hill by Thom Yorke. It sums up the state of politics at the moment. Innocent men are hounded for standing up to the state.

15) The next "victims?" Hopefully, Bush in November and Blair sooner rather than later. In terms of this questionnaire, whatever.
