Exciting site news

If you are new to An Unreliable Witness, hello and welcome. You may wish to browse the About page, which has just been rewritten to provide even less information concerning this site and its creator than it did before.
If you are familiar with An Unreliable Witness, thanks for your continued stoicism in the face of so […]

[Insert snow-related pun here]

It’s Tuesday. Sigh. Whilst you’ve been away on your Bank Holiday getaway, sat in a sweltering car parked on a motorway somewhere, sad stay-at-home social inadeqates such as myself have been here, still on the web. You know, in that way in which people who don’t have a life tend to do. Never mind.
In your absence, […]

An unscientific little pole (sic)

It’s sunny and warm. I do not like sunny and warm. I want more of those floods of downright biblical proportions please, and for the weather outside my drab office or bedroom windows to resemble deepest, darkest October.

A number of kind correspondents have responded to the previous post’s ill-tempered demolishing of the Blogger’s Code of Conduct by asking, either in the comments or via email, whether they could use my rather tongue-in-cheek version of the ‘Civility Enforced’ badge on their site, thereby proudly proving to visitors that that their blog is indeed […]

Once upon a blog

I have finally decided that I should do something with at least some of the content I wrote during the long-forgotten half decade of blogging that preceded An Unreliable Witness, so I have transferred a selection of the posts from those five years onto this site, tweaked them a little, and attempted to stick them […]

The Insignificant Awards 2007

(Because awards are insignificant, but blogs are not.)
The Insignificant Awards is the world’s most unheard of blog competition. It’s a place for the undiscovered to be discovered.
As the annual weblog popularity competitions begin once more, we at The Insignificant Headquarters wish to praise, encourage and salute the unknown blogs that sit in the unrewarded wilderness. Those blogs […]
