BLOGGING ELSEWHERE

I first started blogging using the nom-de-blog East Anglian Tory as my initial interests were reading and commenting on other political blogs. But then I widened my interest into reading the many other fascinating blogs out there on the world wide web. In comments people called me EAT which didn't have a great ring to it. Then someone called me East Anglian Troy.

I liked that name.

Meanwhile as I had started blogging on a variety of issues and as well as commenting on many other people's day-to-day life blogs, it seemed more appropriate to call myself first, East Anglian Troy, then later for more ease, just simply Troy. That also enabled the introduction of Mrs Troy and Troy Junior into the blog.

Many of the blogs I read in the early days have ceased although a few notable exceptions have kept going. As my retired life became ever busier though I found less time to write my own blog postings. My readership fell off until now I only have a small handful of (but much treasured) readers. Blogs are either on the up, or failing that, are on a downward spiral. This blog now falls firmly into the latter catagory. Accordingly I've decided to stop posting on this blog.

My other blog, written in my real personal name, which I started when I stood for election in the 2011 local district council elections has now been revamped with a view to blogging on items of "local, national and international interest". It will be primarily focused on political issues with an unashamedly right-of-centre outlook. I hope some of my readers from here will find it of interest. The posting I made there yesterday for example, comments on David Cameron's use of the veto at the EU summit and is written as an antidote to the hysterical negativeness of the BBC on that matter - although I suspect it will reach a much smaller audience!

The link is [SINCE DELETED]

I hope to see some of you over there going forward.

To those that don't follow me there - its been great knowing you and I'll do my best to still get round to your many interesting blogs. I'll most likely comment using my real name which will link to my ongoing blog.

So as this final posting - number 101 - comes to close, I'll sign off.

Sincerely yours, "Troy"

But can you say on the other blog, the things you said on this one?
I'll be taking a look over there.

Hi Joe - there's no doubt it will be different but then it is set up to be different. And I will need to watch out that I don't leave myself a hostage to being misquoted, or quoted out of context. I'd rather be honest in my convictions than a bland vote winner. (The perfect world - honest in convictions AND a vote winner - but perhaps that is too naive?).

I have to say, I don’t think of you as naïve, Troy, so I’m sure you’ll avoid most pitfalls.

Devastated, Troy! Love seeing when you have a post... but I know what you mean, the old familiar blogs are largely gone now. Will go on your new site... lots of love to Mrs Troy, Troy Junior, and to you, of course.
Happy Christmas... xxxxx

What a shame. Politics, waste of thoughts and that includes them all. But will keep an eye on you! Politicians, bit like referees, flawed. Goal on Saturday? You must be joking. Home town idiotic linesman methinks!Strangely enough, my post Saturday includes kind thoughts re 2 of government. (not)

Troy said...

LWM - nostalgia ain't what it used to be is it? A Merry Christmas to you and yours.

DJ - well I suppose you could (but I'd rather you didn't!).

Ken - I was away on holiday and missed the match. I've just got back and will have to watch the controversial goal on the internet.

Hi everyone,I’m so excited my husband is back after he left me for another woman. My husband was having an affair with a co-worker and i love my husband so much but he was cheating on me with his co-worker and this girl i think she use witchcraft or black magic on my husband to make him hate me and this was so critical and uncalled-for, I cry all day and night for God to send me a helper to bring back my husband! I was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr.Wealthy can help get ex-boyfriend back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it, then he did a love spell for me. 22hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he miss me so much, Oh My God! i was so happy, and today i am happy with my man again and we are joyfully living together and i thank the powerful spell caster Dr.Wealthy, he is so powerful and i decided to share my story on the here. if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.Wealthy for help now..Here’s his email, wealthylovespell@gmail.com
