		<description>Should have phoned CJ - his parents literally live less than 5 minutes from that bridge - I&#039;m sure they wouldn&#039;t have minded a friend of ours popping in to spend a penny lol. 

Also just near the lock is where CJ proposed to me (on the first attempt rather than the second &quot;for show&quot; attempt) 

Other than the loo issue - hope you had a good day :)</description>

		<description>Hi Lori,
Thank you for your comments, and for the clarification, now knowing that it makes a lot more sense of the book. As I said in the review I did enjoy reading it and am looking forward to reading Missing Andy.</description>

		<description>David,

Thank you so much for your review.  I&#039;m glad that you enjoyed the book and I look forward to your review of my second book.

Just to let you and your readers know -- From From To Christian In Just 35 Years is a compilation of three stories.  The first story is the Zero to 35 Years part about how I became a Christian; the second is titled Being Okay With Being Me and is about accepting yourself as God sees you; the third is Life Is Like A Charm Bracelet and is about how it&#039;s all about God and not about us.

Thanks again and I&#039;ll be seeing you on Twitter!

		<description>I dislike the phone all I was saying was, if you want/need an urgent response then don&#039;t rely on e-mail, pick up the phone but I still prefer contact via e-mail for the very reason that you outline. E-Mail is so much less intrusive and far better, it is my communication method of choice 9 times out of 10.</description>

		<description>Heh heh. I&#039;m almost exactly the opposite. In fact, I blogged about this very thing not so long ago...
http://fotdmike.com/2010/07/10/and-check-the-blog/

Thing with phone calls is, they&#039;re so intrusive. That irritating bell/ringtone/buzzer/whatever seems so insistent, demanding attention then and there, regardless of what one may be doing.

In the middle of something really creative? Doesn&#039;t matter. Watch all inspiration fly out the window whilst you answer a call that proves to be of no importance (or urgency) whatsoever.
Having a conversation with someone? Doesn&#039;t matter. Just interrupt it without warning, right in the middle of them saying something, to answer that intrusive phone call. That&#039;s just plain rude.

Emails at least offer choices. And generally more information than can be gleaned from a ringing phone.

Which isn&#039;t to say that I&#039;ll respond to each and every email instantly. Very often they don&#039;t require an instant response. Or sometimes I want to think about things before I respond. But if one does indeed appear to demand prompt attention then I can at least assess the priority required and act accordingly.

Whereas with phones the likelihood is I won&#039;t answer anyway... not unless I&#039;m expecting the call (i.e., arranged by email first, for a time to suit me!).

So yeah, email&#039;s definitely my thing. ;)</description>

		<description>&quot;coz I spent less time at school than I should have&quot;

Nope, not letting you off that easily... last time I went to school at all I was about eight, and before that I missed much much more than I attended!
:)

Moving rapidly on then (heh heh), yes, I think &quot;good&quot; is definitely the thing to aim for. But this gets even more tricky, for what constitutes a &quot;good&quot; blogger? And how does one measure that?
Does it, for example, equate to &quot;popularity&quot;... determined perhaps by number of hits, or number of comments? Or does such &quot;popularity&quot; merely indicate that the blogger is SEO-savvy or really effective at self-promotion?

Quality of content maybe? But how does one measure that... and is this not something that is far more subjective?

Ooh, loads of questions. And my head&#039;s starting to hurt! ;)</description>
