Tim Worstall’s weekly Britblog Roundup and Mr E’s Swearbloggers Roundup.

Worstall’s weekly wonders of the web.

Tim Worstall’s two fat ladies.

Tim Worstall’s Britblog Roundup #86 and Devil’s Kitchen’s Swearblogger Roundup #2 (which, gratifyingly, includes me this week.)

Congratulations to Nick:

After 74 days on the road, during which I covered 1050 miles, I finished the walk at just before 2pm yesterday afternoon when I strolled into Land’s End, after a short 11 mile trip from Penzance via St Buryan and Sennen Cove. Yes, it’s over - I’ve walked from John O’Groats to Land’s End, and now I’m back at my Mum’s house in Redditch, having been driven back up to the Midlands today, slowly getting used to the idea that I’ve finished and trying to work out what to do next.

You can still make a donation in aid of the Brain Research Trust here.

Last week’s top blogging to cherish and cherish again.

Tim Ireland with another cracker.

Worstall’s weekly wonders of the web.

In time for party conference season, Iain Dale has produced a pamphlet on political blogging to be handed out to conference delegates.

It’s also free to download in PDF format and contains lists of the top 100 Tory, Labour, Lib Dem and non-affiliated political blogs as well as articles from some prominent bloggers. Well worth a look - you might see one or two familiar faces in the lists.

Right here.

Worstall’s Originals.

Two blog roundups for your perusal: The ever effervescent Britblog roundup from Tim and a roundup of fresh-on-the-scene blogs from Nosemonkey over at The Sharpener.

Worstall’s weekly web wonders.

Good news. Independent sketch writer Simon Carr has moved his website to the altogether more catchy www.sketch.sc (it was previously web.mac.com/sketch6/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html) and got himself an RSS feed here.

Update: He’s very good:

In 10 years we may have a net 7.5 million new migrants living in Britain. Whatever part of the political spectrum you hail from, that is impossible to ignore.

Frank Field says: “No country can maintain freedom and order under the pressure parts of Britain are now experiencing.

I wonder which of those qualities governments would willingly sacrifice first?

Right here.

Why hasn’t anybody started a UK-flavoured franchise of this baby? Anybody fancy giving it a go?

Out now.

Last year, I ran a roundup looking for new blogs. Nosemonkey’s kicked one off for this year over on The Sharpener:

Last time we restricted this to political blogs, what with us Sharpener types all being political and that. This time, anything goes. Preferably, however, make it good, interesting or entertaining - ideally all three.

Get over there and get plugging.

All round top chap Nick Barlow is about to commence his walk from John O’Groats to Land’s End in aid of the Brain Research Trust:

Last year, my brother Simon died. He was first diagnosed with a brain tumour in 1998 and after seven years of operations, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, all clears, relapses and lots of normal life in between, a third tumour was finally too much for him and he died on October 11th. It was around then that I realised I’d finally be doing my walk this summer. After all, Simon was probably the fittest member of our family - he’d run the Paris and New York marathons - so something like this seemed a perfect way to remember him. Plus, I’d sooner walk 1000 miles than try and run 26, but I’m strange that way.

He’s hoping to blog the journey and you can sponsor him here. Get over there and give him some support.

Simon Carr, The Independent’s parliamentary sketchwriter, has got himself a website. Needs a bit of work - RSS feed, permalinks etc - but at least he’s there.

He’s worth keeping an eye on, as a commentator on the decommissioning of Britain’s civil liberties, if nothing else. A man who can get under Charles Clarke’s skin, to the point that Two Lunches felt compelled to sit down and write a 34-point rebuttal, should be on everybody’s blogroll.

The estimable Rochenko over at Smokewriting has lost his blog due to a hosting snafu.

If anybody has visited lately and, on the off chance, has saved off or cached any of his posts, please get over there and give him a shout. Ta.

This week’s blogging gravy.

Out now.
