    I make no apologies for nominating this blog twice in two weeks. ‘Not Just Hiding’ with Little boxes, little bozes, little boxes all the same - even though it’s left me singing that bloody song in my head.

    Oh I’m not ‘this week’s shortlister’ at all by the way like it says in comment 20, it seems potw’s comment box has retained whatever I called myself last time I called by. Anyway it doesn’t really matter which of Rhodri’s posts you care to look at, they are of a consistently, in fact infuriatingly high quality of faintly sardonic but good-hearted comic observation (I should mention the bloke writes for The Independent so is hardly an amateur).
