    It is our duty to put our fingers in our ears and sing, “la la la la la la I can’t hear you” for the duration. Agreed.

    Can someone tell me what Craig’s List is? I’ve seen it in a lot of places, but it doesn’t seem to be a blog.

    Like Verity I’ve heard of Craig’s list, but I’m bugeered if I know where.

    I think of Graig’s list as a giant “classified ad” site. It probably has more to it.

    By a simply incredible coincidence, The (Barclay-brothers owned) ran a piece on Craig’s List today. Trawling sites for story ideas.

    Oddly appropriate that ‘bugger’ was used as an exclamation in this thread, as gay hook-ups are what really caused Craigslist to first take off.

    (not that there’s anything wrong with that)
