Kevin Ashton’s food blog

I wanted to say that

nobody@vox.com(Kevin Ashton) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:26:38 +0100

I was considering saying something to him, at the risk of starting a rumpus that would hold the train up even more than it already had been (damp tracks or something) when his mobile rang and he started mouthing off a stream of high-octane swearing at the person on the other end, oblivious to the fact that there were young children in the carriage. He seemed to think he was in a soundproof bubble, if he was thinking at all.

Everybody pretended not to notice, until a young mum said to him, "Oi, you ignorant little sod, mind your language in front of my kids. And get your bleedin' feet off the seat while you're about it!"

And he said, "Sorry, missus" and put his feet on the floor.

Now, what really annoys me about this is the fact that it had to be a woman. Before I became a grumpy old man, confronting oiks was a man's job, and people could be shamed into behaving themselves with a few well-chosen words, man to man. Now it seems as if only women are entitled to display any balls at all. AAAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!

My QDOS

nobody@vox.com(Kevin Ashton) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:05:36 +0100

A couple weeks ago I was approached and asked if I was willing to quantify how well know I was on the web.... they call it your web footprint.

Being the HAM that I am.... after all my blog is shamelessly called wannabe I agreed to online form filling to help them correlate my on line fame.

Well when the people at QDOS first got back with me they gave me a rating of 1709, which meant nothing to me so off I went to the site and had rummage around.

Well after I compared scores with others I felt my score was too low so I wrote to them and sent them lots of links to my presence on the web. You see even my newspaper sells back copies to archival newspaper sites, so a reporter anywhere in the world if they had my name could access my web footprint.

Well QDOS got back to me and have since upwardly adjusted my score to
QDOS 3083!

Which means I'm more famous on the web than the Hairy Bikers!! (The Brits will know whom I talking about). In-fact a certain celebrity chef that goes by the name of Gordon only got a QDOS5154.

And talk

QDOS

ing of Gordon have you seen this link?

I chance to ask me food question you need help with

Important Food Stories that affect us all and what we eat.

Read about the Latest news on GM foods (why have so many Americans allowed the food to be so heavily surrplanted with GM crops where as Europeans are and have been more sceptical about this impotant issue.
