Why have I called this blog Cynical Scribble?

Honest answer? Because it was the best name I could come up with on a Saturday afternoon! Any other name I tried was already taken and I kind of liked the ’scribble’ thing. The ‘cynical’ bit…well I find I am overly cynical of things and it makes a nifty little blog name.

I’m a 30 year old male living in a corner of England with far too much time on his hands – hence this blog.  Like most other blogs out there I’ll write about any old nonsense that pops into my head.  I will never profess to be the greatest writer in the world, so please feel free to mock my spelilng, grammar and anything else you read worthy of mockery.

I’m cynical, sarcastic and have a dry sense of humour…it’s a winning combination. None of these fantastic traits will translate into text very well, so if you get the wrong end of the stick don’t blame me!

PS. Feel free to comment, we all like comments and I won’t bite.

    I found the “coming up with a title bit” the most difficult thing. I hadn’t thought about it at all and suddenly Blogger asks “Name of Blog?” oh shit, don’t know, just put anything..

    ..turns out, probably THE most important part about attracting readers is having a good title.

    I like yours though.

    Good blog and thanks for the comments on my blog – I’ve been sneakly reading yours for the past couple of months but now I’m being more proactive and starting to stalk the blogs I read by posting comments.

    Thanks for finding me. I envy your ability to delete Facebook. I myself can’t tame the beast.

    planetross – I’m sure there is some witty threesome type gag to be had there.

    Glad you like the blog :)

    I seem to “steal” people for my blogroll from planetross. So…you’re next because I like your humor. I don’t write many funny things, but I know good humor when I hear it. In this case, read it.

      Tammy – hello there, welcome to my abode. Mr Ross has plenty of odd folks on there (and a great blogroll), you chose wisely for your stealing. Thanks for liking my ramblings, I’ll check your blog out too :)
