Hi leveller

Are you looking at the right thing? The one that Joan pointed to was Gemma Kidney a spoof of Emma Heartly's blog. I can't believe you don't find it even slightly amusing?

What, the one about female morris dancers?

No, sorry, definitely a Red Arrows scenario.

Yes thats the one. Gay morris as well.

Ah well, we all have different senses of humour I suppose, I can't stand Ricky Gervase or that slimey wanker Carr.

Just been watching this. Now this is funny (but nothing to do with folk awards).

If you were a judge would you want some of the people above 'communicating' with you?

Absolutely not! Stock up the safe room now. What the stupid, publicity seeking person is demanding is actually freedom to invade some innocent people's privacy. Just imagine if you were a revealed Folk Awards judge and woke up in the morning to find some of those scary scary people above drooling through your letterbox. Though to be fair, they probably don't go out much. Christ, imagine if Emma Hartley knew where you lived . . . she'd be camping out on your doorstep demanding to know how much Mike Harding had bribed you to vote for somebody whose music you liked. Shudder . . .

Yes that is very funny leveller, and I'm so pleased I'm not the only one who finds Mr Gervais totally unfunny.

I've never heard such puerile chidish nonsense, do your parent's know what you are doing ?

Anyone who writes blogs about other people, or who encourages others to do so should be ashamed of themselves.
I agree with Dave Hanson, a lot of puerile nonsense.

Try "Fly Fishing" by J R Hartley. It's nothing to do with folk however its probably more interesting than a journo's blog.
