I'm not alone! Maybe I am!

This is a bit of a odd one. I typed the url jondennis.blogspot.com into my browser because I know Jon and I admire his blogging. So I was happy when Jon's blog appeared on the screen. I thought I was the only man in London writing about himself and then, out of the blue, along comes Jon to join me on this lonely peak.

But - this is where is gets eery - I checked with Jon and it turns out it is not his blog. There is another Jon Dennis, who is writing as Jon Dennis and - as far as the blogosphere is concerned - is Jon Dennis.

If I didn't know I might start to think this famous Jon Dennis and my Jon Dennis were one and the same. I could be reading his posts and commenting in his comment box without know it was the wrong JD.

Fortunately, he - fake JD - doesn't appear to be writing anything.

All I'm saying is that this whole idea of blogging identities is sometimes a bit wierd because you can never truly know who anybody is. Like, for example, if someone else entirely were writing this blog but you still thought it was me, Seán. It's crazy if you ask me.

The beer festival


Well, here I am at the beer festival. It turned out not to be quite what I was expecting. Earl's Court has two big problems: 1) there is a missing apostrophe on the outside of the building (it says 'Earls Court' - I kid you not) and 2) it is like drinking in a big shed really. Plus all the good beer had gone so I was left sampling halves from brewers like Deuchars and a few more that you could just as easily sample in a pub. Thanks a lot to Simon for taking the picture (he's the greatest) but my pal to the right (that's me with the pint) doesn't like the pic so he would rather I didn't say who it was. Some of you, however, may be able to work it out.

Cycled to work for this first time in a week today. It was skill.

Plans for the weekend

The weather's looking good so I'm all set for a rocking few days off. I love the summer.

Me and the boys (yes Chris Alden, that's you) will be playing football and then heading off to the beer festival. I'll try and blog from there, but after my, erm, dispatches from the silent disco I've been forced to accept that drink and Web 2.0 rarely mix like you'd hope they would! If only someone would create a beer API ...

Why I'm here
