Blogwatch: in brief

It's been a while in coming, and I feel very lax at having failed to make a contribution, but Vaughan's list of 100 things about him, as compiled by his readers, is now online.

I'm terrified that the samwidge has blown my eardrums out and that I will fart and not know until all around me fall over."
