Is that second picture you? Second from last, I mean - or is that just as bad?
I wonder who else remembers that TV advert - (Sings) "One thousand and one cleans a big, big carpet for less than half-a-crown - (bass voice) For less than half-a-crown - Fine action foam. Deep clean. Brings up carpets like new. (Reprise) One thousand and one cleans a big, big carpet for less than half-a-crown!
You seem to be doing something right ! And I am doing something wrong obviously with a mere 36 followers (to whom I am extremely grateful) in my 10 years of blogging. Shite !
Congratulations and well deserved! Maybe Albert will bring you a special gift for the occasion. Doesn't the new season of The Walking Dead begin again soon just to add to your delight?
Personally I think this touting for followers thing is all getting rather foolish! PS I'm now at 418 and all because of you and I'm very excited but not dancing due to "sensitive bladder" as the annoying advert says!!! Oooops too much information?
Totally deflated, John. You may remember that ages ago - when you were still in the few hundreds - I said I'd "follow" you officially as your 1000th follower, or at a push 999th. This morning everything was fine. Getting close. Thought give it time, a few more hours. Like an ebay auction of old I'll make it at the last minute. NOT SO. Never mind. You don't need me to inflate your numbers. Still, I suppose we can make it official at 1999 or 2000.
I read you all the time and have done for several years, but no idea if I am a " follower" or not. Can't find anything to click on to become one either! Help!
Ah….. the reason I couldn't find anything to click on to become a follower, was because I am already a follower ! I clicked unfollow and it told me I was a follower already. Are you following me?
If it weeent for you I would have a very boring morning every day...I have my first cup of coffee and start my day reading Going Gently.. that is the way I start each day☀️
The kermit one is my favorite. :) Congrats John, I finally signed up just to help you with your obsession! You are now one of only three blogs I actually officially follow. Favoritism!
That last photo haha! Well deserved, John. Deb (Ontario, Canada)
ReplyDeleteTempted to unfollow now to out you back under!
ReplyDeleteWell done, I seem to be stuck around 220 something!
You dare x

ReplyDeleteThat's a relief, Libby. Thank you. Was afraid people would write me off as just another dotty old fogey - which I am!
DeleteYou both beat me to that song. As soon as I saw the heading I thought:
DeleteOne thousand and one cleans a big, big carpet for less than half-a-crown!
You seem to be doing something right !
ReplyDeleteAnd I am doing something wrong obviously with a mere 36 followers (to whom I am extremely grateful) in my 10 years of blogging.
Shite !
And in just eight years I've achieved a magnificent FORTY ONE! Beating you! Nah nah na-NAH nah! :-)
DeleteIt's quality not quantity
DeleteI'd like to think that. Trouble is, J.G., you've got BOTH!
DeletePerhaps you could show a wee bit of enthusiasm John...geez. Seriously, well done, well done, well done.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and well deserved! Maybe Albert will bring you a special gift for the occasion.

I know I'm fickle but it pleased me
DeleteAs if should. You deserve to be noticed, read,followed and enjoyed.
DeleteI'm a recent follower, so I just may have helped push your blog over the edge of the 1,000 followers mark :)
ReplyDeleteMartha..you star!
DeleteI read you all the time and have done for several years, but no idea if I am a " follower" or not. Can't find anything to click on to become one either! Help!
ReplyDeleteRight hand bar , just under the photo of me in the beanie hat!
DeleteAh….. the reason I couldn't find anything to click on to become a follower, was because I am already a follower ! I clicked unfollow and it told me I was a follower already. Are you following me?
DeleteWhen I first saw this post I thought you were celebrating the new season start of Walking Dead.

ReplyDeleteHa ha! Not excited much, are you? :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are in a better place than yesterday John.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Was he in Rhyl?

ReplyDelete(says the woman with 57 followers)
You deserved my vote, my tender-hearted friend. Bask in your popularity.
ReplyDeleteWho is that? X
DeleteIt's me. I know how to comment but don't know how to be a blogger. At 86, I am curtailing my 'firsts' so is it alright to just comment ?
DeleteI see you threw a little Russel Crow (Crowe?) in there. I am not surprised you have so many followers. Congratulations! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteNow you are up to 1,005. Congrats. I also loved looking at all of the GIFs, as they are currently one of my favorite things on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed finding them.....it made me feel hip
DeleteNow I have said hip...I now know I am anything but.....
Congratulations and well deserved. Love all your gif's, couldn't stop smiling.
ReplyDeleteWe all need a smile tonight me thinks
DeleteWell done...but tell me, how did you get our Demon Puss to poseMuch less smile
ReplyDeleteWell done, your blog always make me smile (and sometimes shed a tear).
ReplyDeleteIf it weeent for you I would have a very boring morning every day...I have my first cup of coffee and start my day reading
ReplyDeleteGoing Gently.. that is the way I start each day☀️
Pardon my typing on the phone typos
DeleteCongrats, John !!! Totally deserved !!! XO
ReplyDeleteAnd here was me thinking you'd be celebrating!
ReplyDeleteYou are so so welcome. The pleasure is all mine.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure, k-e-e-p b-l-o-g-g-i-n-g.Jan Bx
ReplyDeleteThe kermit one is my favorite. :) Congrats John, I finally signed up just to help you with your obsession! You are now one of only three blogs I actually officially follow. Favoritism!
ReplyDeleteNow maybe you'll relax and not be such a demanding old tart .... and all these GIFs have made my eyes go funny ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
Now I'm stuck at an annoying 882, I suppose every number other than a rounded one is going to be annoying now ..... I think we're all turning OCD.
To quote old Brucie .... 'Good game, good game' :-)
Of course on the basis of logarithms b, x and y being positive to the power of 10 my ratio of comments to followers is still bigger than yoursxxxx
ReplyDeleteRachel, lol ... mine also.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you -- and to all your fans!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Loving the gifs. I have never mastered gifs. Never saw the point of Russell Crow before either, but after that picture - well howdy!
ReplyDeleteHe's lovely!
