INT. QUINQUIREME TOWERS - DAY
ME: Ooh look, Tim Footman called me 'the Poly Styrene of the blogosphere'. I'm so punk rock.
MR BC: You *are* punk rock.
There is a pause, during which I sip Earl Grey tea and look at the Habitat catalogue.
MR BC: Of course, she went mad, you know.
ME: Yes, well, I went mad too, but then I took drugs and got better.

Yes, but did you go Krishna?
No, but oddly enough, the full story of How I Went Mad But Then I Took Drugs And Got Better was going to be the theme of today's post. I might tell that one tomorrow. That'll be fun for everyone.
Are they classifying Earl Grey as a drug now? Cool. Does Tetley count?
I think Earl Grey is ok - now decaf green tea is a completely different kettle of fish. Or tea, even.
I could write a blog about how I went mad but then watched green wing and never got better. Would that be at all interesting?
cello: Earl Grey is about as wild as it gets chez Patroclus these days - and sometimes even then I have to tone it down and drink caffeine-free peppermint instead. Tetley is far too strong for me - you're clearly quite hardcore.
Sylvia: Yes it would.
oh lord, and now jon ronson wants in on the whither-a-bitchy-blogosphere debate
still, at least he was amusing(ish) about it all
Do you know what this means, UC? It means that in The Time Before Blogging, all journalists must genuinely have believed that everyone loved them and hung on their every word. Even Caroline Phillips. Crikey.
the party never stops at chez patroclus, does it?
(still here....just wearing dark glasses and a large brimmed hat lately. )
(and nothing else.)
Hmm, didn't Gillian Anderson have a spell as a punk? It must run in the looks.
I don't know about that, OPC, but I once saw her house in Elle Decoration and it was totally brilliant. If I ever get my own house I'm going to have totally black walls like she had, with chandeliers and sea-green chinoiserie. It's going to be fantastic.
Also the Observer once described Gillian Anderson as 'not quite cool', which endeared her to me even more.
