Thanks Si....

An excellent mix of snippets there.... And yes - please take my concern to heart.. But don't let it happen again! As for Jason, he's still missing in action - presumed naked.

Firstly - A particularly happy valentines day to everyone who may be reading this. Whether you are in a long-lasting relationship, embarking on a burgeoning romance or as single as the day you were born - may it be a wonderful day/evening...

Unfortunately my girlfriend has come down with a throat infection, but bookings are set in stone these days and it is with some trepidation that I shall take the poor girl to the 'Kickin' Donkey' restaurant to feast her tender larynx on some particularly wholesome steak - or perhaps a glass of water may be a better plan.. (A damn site cheaper as well.)

We shall see -

As for the rest of the team, happy evenings are assured for Sam and Sylwia who have spectacularly snug nights planned with their respective partners - but as for Simon, he dines alone... Sad, but it does mean that a night on the town could prove fruitful for the handsome devil.

I'm sure all will be revealed tomorrow!

Happy blogging x

Back from the wilderness....

First off, I'd like to thank Jack for his touching concern about my whereabouts yesterday. Obviously, my dedication to L2L is as impeachable as ever, and it is with a spring in my step and (slightly manic) glint in my eye that I, in the grand tradition of Sunday night television, offer you a selection of some of our past faves from the Love to Lead files....

Chicken 1: I've been thinking of starting a blog.
Chicken 2: What's a blog?
Chicken 1: Oh, you know, a blog. That thing humans do on the computer.
Chicken 2: What, look at porn?
Chicken 1: No, the other thing. You know, they keep a diary.
Chicken 2: Like the farmer?
Chicken 3: No, you dumbcluck, that's a dairy. Jees, don't you know anything? A BLOG. It's the new buzz word for 2007. Actually, I've had one since 2004.
Chicken 2: Well, what would you write about?
Chicken 1: My political views. I can be very interesting when I want to. I have a 3,000 word essay all ready to go, it's in my mind, I just have to peck it out on the keyboard, it really is fascinating, you see, it's all about how these days, power has been centralised to Washington, even if you live in wildest Dorset like we do, and how we really ought to galvanise ourselves to march on parliament ...

I felt hollow, I felt sick and invaded. I felt abused, furious and helpless, all at the same time. I was so shocked I was convinced that I had to be wrong. I told Dom all about it, hoping he would make me see I’d made a terrible mistake, and that it wasn’t her at all. He listened carefully, as he always did, and said ‘Lola, I think you’re right.’

Foetus: Of course it matters! I need to be prepared. What if I don’t like being a boy or a girl? Why wasn’t I allowed to choose for myself after being given all the salient information? Why did you wait until 30 weeks to bring up this crucial issue?
Joseph: It was out of my hands I’m afraid. And anyway, I’m firmly of the opinion that we should not be allowed to choose whether anyone is boy or a girl.
Foetus: This isn’t about you.

Some would argue we are technologically challenged. Some would simply say “why bother?” But getting to live on different planets is simply a next step in the long and winding road of human kind evolving. At the rate we are growing in numbers, where else would we go? Underwater colonies are a solution, but limited still.

These are just some of the articles I've enjoyed over the past few weeks. There are more to add, of course, and I'm sure the other guys will want their say. Have you seen an article that caught your eye but didn't get the attention it deserves...let us know!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Jason and Simon gallavanting in far off climes!

As Love to Lead rumbles on and the votes fly about with almost no cessation, it is with a heavy heart that I must report a serious lack of dedication from core L2L team members, Simon and Jase.

Not content with being seriously difficult to get in touch with yesterday, the two vagrants have seen fit to take to the roads and flee the suburban L2L hub to parts, as yet, unknown. Whether they are undertaking shady business with large collared mafioso types or simply indulging in hedonistic pleasures, perhaps moored in a fishing yacht in Bognor Regis - I neither know nor care...

All I'm concerned about is their debilitating conduct!

In happier news, we have had an amusingly titled new entry today - 'dead can only dance' that describes communicating with death as worse than the authors migraine! That's pretty bad..! Also, Ma Zone is still in leading the way with her informed article 'Believe it or Not' - but i can sensationally reveal that there isn't much in it - so I predict a frenzied race to win this weeks pukka Toshiba laptop.

Meanwhile, if you see any suspicious looking types decked in Love2Lead polo shirts anxiously scuttling around your local area - tell them to get the hell back here... There's filing to be done!


Take care you blogging bloghounds...

Blog to Lead - A Cordial Welcome!

Across the globe, those with a mind of their own...

Those who refuse to be spoon-fed every 'informative' morsel that the media choose to throw at them..

Those who enjoy making their own mind up about the world...

Sit down and blog!

And it is those bloggers that the world is turning to.

Keen to provide a central forum for debate, we have conceived www.lovetolead.info, an online hub frequented by bloggers of all persuasions to argue their point and comment on other articles, while members of the online community cast their positive votes for articles they love.... and negative votes for those they disagree with.

Oh! And did we mention that the blogger whose post receives the greatest number of votes each week will win a Toshiba Portégé R400 laptop (as demonstrated by Bill Gates at CES 2007 - watch his presentation here)? Also, voters who submit email addresses will be entered into a prize draw to win a Toshiba Portégé R400 (the winner of which will be announced at the end of the competition) - so everyone gets a chance to win!

A new question is posted at noon each Friday -

Come join the debate!
