Slackers

Okay we admit we’ve been slacker than a smack addict’s jaw over the past week or so, but you can hardly blame us for going into hiding following that ignominious 51 all out last weekend, as England crumpled to a sorry, woeful defeat in what can only be described as a ‘Fox score’*.

Oh and we had some proper work and shit to do too.

A lot can happen in a week, it’s a long time in politics, a positive age in sport and an absolute eternity in Spurt, and wouldn’t you know it, in the time elapsed we’ve managed to clock our first anniversary tour of duty in Blogistan.

Yup it was precisely one year ago yesterday on the 15th Feb 2008 when we first spurted on an unsuspecting world’s face and along the way we’ve pushed the bounds of taste and decency, got a few decent chaps to scribble a line or two, managed to get away with the odd telling line or our own and no doubt fired as many blanks as a testicular cancer victim.

So a big thank you to you our loyal readers (both of you) for your continued and ongoing support. We’re going to wipe away a teary tear now and listen to the second day of the cricket, but rest assured we intend to come back, faster, quicker, stronger and possible more saucy (if that were possible) in our annus secondus.

So happy birthday to us and let the spurting recommence!

**Wow we don’t get to do two stars very often, bonus. This epithet was bestowed by that bastion of investigative journalism The Daily Telegraph.
