I went out a few months ago to buy some beers, seems that i must have been distracted or something.
Was it really that long ago that I last posted?

ReplyDeletePete, is that you?
ReplyDeleteBravo, well thought out and brilliantly constructed critique.
Of course, if you had any nuts then you'd not have posted anonymously.
Mate, I hate to break it to you, but my career hasn't yet deteriorated to the point where I feel the need to goad and insult tinpot bloggers. So, whoever Anonymous is, I'm afraid it's not me. Before the spell of vanity Googling I embarked upon this afternoon, I, much like the rest of the world, had remained blissfully unaware of your ever having existed.
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies for your recent loss.

I'm glad you found me Pete.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a really slow day at your house, because try as I might, googling your name doesn't bring that particular piece on a blog that has a work rate that would have Lee Mavers encouraging it to get on with it.
Just tinpot? most manage something far more vituperative than that.
All the best with your career, I'm sure it's working out well for you as i seem to see your byline in more and more stuff.
What I do is, I put my name in and then the names of the publications who are damn-fool enough to employ me - as I recall, it was 'pete cashmore the guide' that brought me here. Otherwise I just get the other, much more successful and better-looking Pete Cashmore.
ReplyDeleteI hate self-Googlers, I can't quite believe how often I end up doing it.

Pete, I'm glad that you have come back to see me again, I think that we really are making a connection here.
ReplyDeleteYou are right though, the other Pete Cashmore is indeed a lot richer and more successful, but has a dull job and is losing his hair. Are you losing your hair Pete? I'd imagine that would be terrible.
Self googling is one of those guilty pleasures that I'm sure the Celebrity and borderline celebrity community or even the moderately well known jobbing freelance journalist are prone.
There is no need to beat yourself up over it, in fact it might make a great source of new material though I'm not sure how prolific the other Pete Cashmores are, and Dave Goreman has already pretty much kicked the arse out of it.
Will you be in the Guide again this weekend, or shall I get the Independent instead?
J.
I believe that I, very briefly, am in The Guide this weekend. So I'd get The Independent.
ReplyDeleteI'm not losing my hair but there is a bit that I twiddle and I suspect I may have twiddled myself a bald patch.
Who'd have thought that we would have ended up discussing hair-twiddling like a couple of old geezers, after my graceless opening communiqué? That said, you DID once call me an "odious little scrote" so I guess we can forgive me for it. I'm just happy there's someone out there who thinks I'm a "little" anything...
PC (obviously, by now)
I might get the Independent, but it is so completely and painfully sincere that it's almost mind altering. Not to mention being duller than back to back episodes of Gavin and Stacey.
ReplyDeleteLook, lets be honest, I'm only carrying this on in the hope of getting it into the Guide's Internets page as a Tiny url. I have no idea why you keep responding to someone who was so rude about you, even if it was only on his tinpot blog that clearly nobody bar you, me, about three of my closest personal friends and an anonymous stalker/abuser tend to read.
What are you trying to be funny about this week?
Oh, and the missus wants to know if you can get her Charlie Brooker's autograph?
Keep the faith, brother, keep the faith.
ReplyDeleteI've never met the man, all I know is that every now and then I am asked to do his work and I keep nearly getting sued.
Why don't just agree that we're both absolutely horrible, and then move forward? Who do you think the abuser is then?
The Abuser? I have no idea, it could be any of the several hundred people that I've upset on the Internet (see also my earlier comments about the Nuts website) or maybe a whole new window licker who has somehow stumbled across the Blog. I'll be honest, I don't tend to play well with others.
ReplyDeleteI like the capitalisation - The Abuser. Makes him / her sound like an evil superhero.
ReplyDeleteRight, World Cup. See you in a month!
Indeed.
ReplyDeleteI liked that touch myself.
World Cup? I shit it.
