The Joyful Raconteur: February 2005
http://joyfulraconteur.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 25, 2005. King Librarian not fond of bloggers. I was going to read the full article of this. But that first paragraph was enough to meet my intellectual needs. Posted by Katie at 10:57 am. Thursday, February 24, 2005. Is looking good these days. Lots of posts, interesting topics and great instant repsonses ("there's snow on Oxford St! But why slag off Jamie Oliver? So obvious, no? Posted by Katie at 9:19 am. Wednesday, February 23, 2005. Fired up about smoking. This made me laugh a lot.

The Joyful Raconteur: April 2005
http://joyfulraconteur.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 18, 2005. Can't lock him in the living room at 5am every morning (yes, he really does get up to shut him out rather than just shutting him in every night. And yes, Milo does sleep on our bed. And yes we are disgusting human beings. Even I look down on us.). Your expected outcome: Labour. UK Independence Party 6. You should vote: Liberal Democrat. Take the test at Who Should You Vote For. Posted by Katie at 2:35 pm. Wednesday, April 13, 2005. Chris Packham Vs Simon King. Slight right slant: ...

The Joyful Raconteur: May 2005
http://joyfulraconteur.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 24, 2005. Two competitions I always win (and wish I didn't):. Who's got the worst eyesight. Who's got the hairiest legs. Posted by Katie at 6:53 pm. Friday, May 20, 2005. Piss off, saddo. Think that TV show is cack? Keep walking. Read that author? Don't even bother. Basically, if you wanted to be in my gang you were going to have to tow the gang line. Posted by Katie at 3:19 pm. Jenny Powell: Ambassador for Good Old Fashioned Values. Jenny Powell worked hard to get to where she is, so Rebecc...

The Joyful Raconteur: September 2004
http://joyfulraconteur.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 19, 2004. Who do you love? A mwah too far. If I don’t know someone well enough to want to give them a hug when I see them, I certainly don’t want to be kissing them. And it’s not even like the whole thing is some beautiful experience from start to finish: the ritual is embarrassing, awkward and, in the very worst cases, sloppy. What about those you deal with from other companies? What’s the matter with an amicable arm pat or handshake? Posted by Katie at 4:04 pm. Now, although all Trave...

The Joyful Raconteur: January 2005
http://joyfulraconteur.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 30, 2005. Belle of the balls. When the hysterical articles started to appear in the papers, I felt mildly irked for not taking the opportunity to do a bit of wild speculation myself. Eurotrash's. Determination that BdJ is in fact a man caused me to question again why I didn't question. Quite possibly. A bored journaliste? No way. There’s a chance, of course, that she was being deliberately novice in order to flummox me, but I seriously doubt there’s a professional writer in the UK wit...

The Joyful Raconteur: March 2005
http://joyfulraconteur.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 27, 2005. Posted by Katie at 9:41 am. More on that blogging conference. No, I'm not about to add my wise words of wisdom to those from Tom. Mainly because they're doing just dandy without me, but also because I'm entirely too lazy to run one of those sorts of instructive, thoughtful weblogs filled with links, musing and comment. I just wanted to moan about the journey up. Wash your armits, use deodrant and change your clothes every once in a while. That goes especially to you fat ones.

The Joyful Raconteur: October 2004
http://joyfulraconteur.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 29, 2004. Loss of my innocence. And, thus, I learned about Goatse, about nullos, about fat people in fairy costumes, and the cynicism grew and the propensity for being shocked lessened, and my innocence was lost. Mention a celebrity and I’d give you the bitchy gossip about them. Friends sending me forwards with the subject: FW: fw: fw: RE: look at this! I was an internet snob. Posted by Katie at 8:26 am. Thursday, October 14, 2004. It's not my party. Posted by Katie at 5:34 pm. Arriving i...

http://joyfulraconteur.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2004. It's that horrible time of year again when you sneeze and you're sure that something of note came out but you can't see where it landed, leaving you with an uneasy feeling that you're walking around with green snot in your hair. Ho ho ho. Posted by Katie at 4:49 pm. Evil Woman Who Lives In The Basement: Part II. Ten things about the Evil Woman Who Lives In The Basement:.

The Joyful Raconteur: November 2004
http://joyfulraconteur.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 28, 2004. I’ve become addicted to eBay. It was all Shoewawa’s. Fault with its lovely designer shoe round up. I bought some Patrick Cox shoes in a style that’s not really that fashionable or suitable winter wear. But I’ve been hankering after a pair in that style for most of my adult life, and the fact that they were designer only added to the joy. (Plus, every time I put them on I am reminded of Daisy’s job interview for Flaps magazine in Spaced:. Daisy: I like your shoes. The car arrive...
