I’m taking it to mean a request of any kind – a begging for information.

I didn’t know either until you just asked, which prompted me to google. Apparently it means:

Bleg
A blog where one asks for donations; a cross between blog and beg.

Jacques is very intelligent so you’re right it doesn’t apply to him. I OTO will happily confess to being half-intelligent at best, so I’ve substituted the URL as requested.

In late breaking news Federal Police Kommissar Mick Kelty announced the arrest and detention of a notorious blogger and economist for violation of the Music Industry downloading laws.

Kelty said;

“We’ve had our eyes on this character for a while. He’s even gone so far as to advocate Open Source Software. I can say that frankly we’re sick of these economists poking their noses and slide rules into everything from aboriginal issues to terrorism.”

Sources close to Nhat Nyguen denied he was the miserable scientist in custody. Mr Kelty said that the Special Branch had siezed computers and hard drives from the Nectarine Marmalade Pay Day Loan and Pawn Shop. Mr Kelty denied he had any knowledge that St Nicholas was the patron saint of pawn shops.

More in the late news bulletin and now to the stock market and/or the weather – you decide.

Someone – not me – should save that and avoid that poor person getting their server hit.

The Rolf and Beatles is on The Complete BBC Sessions Disk 06 It was recorded on 18 Dec 1963 and broadcast on 26 Dec 1963 on the program From Us to You. The Beatles often did recordings, such as xmas ones, for fans and radio. The Complete BBC Sessions is a bootleg 9 CD box set from Great Dane Records, Italy. Total running time is approximately 10 hrs. 16 min. It is comprised of all the available recordings (from private collectors) of The Beatles appearences on BBC radio from March 62 to June 65. (All of these recordings couldnt have been recorded off the air because a couple from 64 are clearly the working recording sessions.) There were a total of 52 known appearences (not counting interviews), of which this collection has 44 (complete and partial). This collection also has some of the last known recordings of Pete Best playing with the Beatles. You could listen and watch an animated version of Rolf and The Beatles in here on youtube

I got asked that last time I did it. I expect not, but who knows where progress lies? And this could be up on the net for a good while.

Are the spam bots really so intelligent now that you have to go to those lengths to disguise your email address?
