Happy Blogday To Me
I'm sure you'll be delighted to join me in celebration of the momentous occasion of this, my hundredth blog post.
In order for me to really maximise my blogging pleasure on my special day, I'm going to need to enlist your help. Don't worry - I haven't got a difficult neighbour, or a large piece of furniture that needs moving or a boil in need of lancing or anything. Let me explain. I know you're out there because, well, without wishing to come off all creepy....I can see you. My sitemeter tells me you visit, but some of you don't talk to me. So in the spirit of narcissism and self-indulgence that you've come to expect from surly old me, this is what I want you to do: simply de-lurk (or step up if you're already a regular) and say hello. You can do it anonymously if you want to. I don't need essays or praise or death threats - just say bonjour and let me know where on the planet you are. I'm not going to invade your privacy; I'm just curious (and needy) so there you go. Please note - this invitation extends to anyone who has arrived here by accident, and to the many disillusioned people who have found their way here while looking for information on how to deal with that persistent verucca.
This is going to end badly, isn't it?

Hi! . . .uhm . . .was that all you needed?
Happy Monday!
Surly grrrl...as luck would have it, I DO have a boil in need of lancing! Can you catch the next plane over? Or shall I come to your place? Mazel tov (aka congratulations)!
Happy blog-day to you - the first 500 are the worst you know (says she who happens to be struggling to write her 557th).
Happy blog-day. You can see me eh? What colour knickers have I got on then, smartie pants? (This is only a ploy to get you talking about my under crackers, btw)
Good evening. I saw we're supposed to say where we are. Surrey, UK. Bye!
evening all. thanks for stopping by - but ann (hmmm...not your real name?) has a good point - tell me where you are...
oh, and elvira - i don't do boils.
30 something - behave, madam.
ant - where you been?
annika - welcome back
carol - 577? i salute you....
and anonymous people - ta for being brave. see - we're friendly!

(from a regular pretending to be a lurker - can you guess who i am?)
B*GGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
i was supposed to goddamn hit 'anonymous'
jeeeeeesus, i cannot even get that right
i need HELP
(but then i am a bit squiffy)
love,
a nonny mouse
Howdy, and congrats on the 100th post!
I am the first "anonymous." I am from the great state of TEXAS in the USA. Glad to meet you!
Been here before but great coming back again and again.
Oh...and interesting fact time. I heard recently most toilets flush in the key of D.
And in no relation to your blog of course.:)

Stolie, here. Just sending you a big HAPPY 100th BLOGDAY from cold, wet, damp and rainy New York City! :)
I'm only on post 86. But, I might steal this fabulous idea that you have here when I reach 100. I, too, check my sitemeter and it pains me to know that I have a bunch of stalkers who absolutely refuse to comment, email or otherwise make themselves known.
I write it off as this: some people are just really really blissfully happy with blog-voyeurism. :)
A very momentous occasion indeed.
Happy BlogDay then. You should write a BlogDay song and then get rich off the copyrights.
Keep on blogging.... Happy 100th.
Yes indeedy, many congratulations. I'd go and count how many blog entries I've made, if only I had enough interest. I think I'll save my celebrations for the anniversary of my first one.
Anyway, love your blog (and if I can say this in a non-pimpy way, please don't be too harsh about today's entry on mine).
From somewhere in North Norfolk, England, UK, somewhere off the coast of Europe, The World, The Universe, etc.
As the first person to ever comment on my blog, you'll always have a special place in my heart. (The guest room with the gurgly radiators, and the curtains that are just slightly too short for the windows.)
Hello from Kent, England, Europe, and congratulations.
Could you recommend a good gas fitter?
Hello, only me ... and just to brag a little, me and Crash have a combined effort of 619 posts. And for those who don't know - we're comin at ya from Ipswich, England ...
I can't even remember how I found this place, but I've been returning since.
I tried reporting you to the Robbie Williams stalker provention society, but it seems they are already aware of you.
hiya. India. in the east. you know, with the peninsula and whatnot.
Hi Cilla
My name's Paul, and I'm from the Isle of Man.
I fall under the daily reader category.
Happy Blogday! I only just came across your site yesterday (I think - the days all run together sometimes) but it's tons of fun. BTW - I replied to your Haloscan query in the last post :-)
This is a genius idea foe getting comments, I may lift it meself for my momentous - momentus? - 106th post which is coming up soon. Happy blogday, indeed.
Hi Surly. Read your blog daily. Got here via Kingster via Donna n Crash.
Hello,
Happy blogcentenary.
I'm in Melbourne. It's great here. There are plenty of trams to play with and Harold's son from Neighbours goes to my supermarket.
Hello.
How was it for you?
Happy blogday, my sweet!
And may all your posts be marvellous.
New reader and you are oon my book list. Near Exmoor, Somerset.
All this talk of "I can see you" is unnerving . . . but effective. I'm right behind you - not in an "I can see you" sense, more in a blog post quantity sense. I'm only in my early 70s, there'll be no telegram for me just yet. Happy Hundredth!
Dontcha just love blogworld? Happy 100th post SG (and apols for lateness to the party, as it were - is there any wine left?).
I used to comment, but time constraints have meant that for the past couple of weeks I've been merely lurking. I hope to become an active commenter again soon. Congrats on your 100 posts though SG - excellent work, and always a quality read too. Marvellous.
Oo, and I'm from swinging London Town (you knew that), but currently I am in the arse end of nowhere on a dodgy dial-up connection in the south of France.
me creepy or them creepy?
welcome anyway.
right then you lot, thanks awfully for stepping up and admitting you read this drivel. you're all (well, most of you - dave knows the score) very welcome and i am now petrified at the thought of having to entertain you.
oh, and greta? my sister lives in melbourne. perhaps you could pop round and remind her that i'm still giving houseroom to two enormous boxes of her random crap and that if she doesn't get her fucking finger out by christmas i'm going to burn it and dance round the flames shrieking with glee.
carry on.
Hi Ms Surly - have only met you via Cheezy's blog - ditto re Jamie Oliver btw - but what a lovely site you have!
I also wonder why some bizarro people in Italy look at my site(s) and don't post...and especially America...bizarre.
Catch you on the flipside!
Pen blog hapus i chi (as they would say in Wales)
What was the opinion of Jamie Oliver? Mockney twat I hope - that's the only rationale reaction to him, isn't it?
hiya, first time reading you blog.
golly gosh, SG, what a lot of lurkers you have! i want to 'out' mine too - what a marvellous concept you have hit upon!
well done!
and here's to your next 100 posts...
welcome, wombat.
you may want to leave the sandwiches until later tomorrow - it's only going to get worse.
hello looby, and welcome.....
ooh, weird...that was me btw...
Well I couldn't resist an invitation like that!!
And I do have a persistant (and recurrant) verrucca to boot. (or not to boot for preference, since they hurt)
I've just sat and giggled hysterically through your blog so far and I love it. If you visit my blog you may (if you can be bothered to read that far back and if you understand American times of day, which I don't) you'll know I have to go to bed right now because I'm already half an hour late. but I'll be back tomorrow.
hello mig (how are we pronouncing that? migg? midge? do tell), and welcome....
Thankyou and omg (i'm picking up jargon so fast since I started this) I bet they all think I'm a midge. no it's pronounced migg!
will now read rest of your blog...well not maybe quite all hundred of it tonight.
'lo. Only sometimes get to lurk, from somewhere on the right hand side of a map of the British Isles.
Hiya.
Bottom to middle left, British Isles. Bottom of Wales. But not the arse-end, that's Swansea.
I'm really late for the party SG but I've brought a keg of beer.
I think I missed this post because on the day of your 100th post I was somewhere in Hospital hell. But we're not going back there.
I'm so happy to see all your lurkers and regulars coming out of the woodwork.
I love your blog. Its always appealing, whether its just funny or just down to earth, its a great place to visit. Keep up the good work.
xo
Laura
Well, I've come here a few times because I like to follow Laura around but there aren't any dogs so I tend to hang out at Ariella's instead. Get the small person a puppy and I'll be all over ya!
Congrats :-)
Hi, yea, i've been lurking for a while and just about to do my 100th post. And anyone who likes the Wildhearts deserves to be praised.
