He knows his claret from his beaujolais

I had so much hope.

An Aussie. Aussies are foul mouthed and direct, some are even clever. I was hoping this was a good 'un.

I saw the title "The discreet charm of the middleclass" and I smacked my lips, this could be really interesting.

I wondered would it be:
A) Quirky or
B) Eccentric or
C) Original

and of course, more fool me, I got D) None of the above.

The header is interesting enough, but all it does in the end is serve false hope that something equally eye catching or captivating will follow.

It just doesn't.

For the life of me I can't understand why self proclaimed 'humour' blogs think the only form of humour available to them is a commentary on which celebrities look like which farmyard animals, or a bad photoshop job with Mariah Carey and a penis.

How about some wit, or irony, or clever observation coupled with articulation?

Think about it, you people are intelligent enough to create a blog, write to, and maintain said blog, you surely are capable of even the slightest peer over the garden wall to see what else could be funny. Something, anything other than the done to death pie in the face.

I sat with your blog open before me for what must have been 2 hours, maybe 3, but my eyes just glazed over. I'd go read something else and come back, and again within moments I'd lost the will.

Picture, caption, dull commentary. New post. Picture, caption, dull commentary. Are you getting the picture(, caption, dull commentary) here folks?

This is where I'd normally show some examples of the good or bad, but every post is exactly the same, so pick one. Any one.

The best thing I can think of to say about this blog is that at least you don't post everyday and I escaped before some parts of my brain hadn't quite rotted.

In a desperate attempt to be somewhat constructive, I will say I admire the dedication you have to that serial, now it's not my taste, but I do recognise the appeal there. I say focus more there, tighten and improve that, or introduce it more into your blog. It shows that you have imagination which for some reason you exclude from the blog as a whole.

I've tried quite hard not to insult your feelings here, I just wish you'd do the same for our intelligence.
