'Britain is No Country For Old Men' v 'Animal Madness' - the Battle of the Blogs














I've done it ! The number of visits I have had today to my blog : 'Britain in No Country for Old Men' has finally exceeded my Daughter's blog about a vet in small animal practice called 'Animal Madness'.

My wife, as non-partisan as ever, dismissed this saying : " You only got that number of visits because you wrote about Tom Jones and Winston Churchill."

Battle of the blogs : Part 5 : 'small animals v old people'


I've said my daughter has a blog about the 'trials, tribulations and rewards of being a small animal vet in Britain today'.

Her father has a blog about the 'trials, tribulations and nostalgias of old people in Britain today'.

Well, the Father has to concede defeat and it is an ignominious defeat, in the present battle.

The facts speak for themselves :

Small animals :

: visits yesterday : 41
: visits so far today : 18


Old people :

: visits yesterday : 1
: visits so far today : 0

Beaten in the battles so far, but undefeated in the larger war, the Father 'will', or Churchill would have said, "shall" be 'Churchillian' and blog on.

"HE WILL NEVER SURRENDER !"

Battle of the blogs : Part 4 : 'small animals' v 'old people'


She's still winning - my daughter, the vet. Her blog about life as a vet in small animal practice gets an average of 49 visits a day.

My blog gets an average of 4 visits a day, which is rounded up from 3.5.

What's more, she can't either,spell or punctuate.

I just don't understand it.

The battle of the blogs : 'small animals' v 'old people'

I've said my daughter has a blog about the 'trials, tribulations and rewards of being a small animal vet in Britain today'.

Her father has a blog about the 'trials, tribulations and nostalgias of old people in Britain today'.

Score so far today, in terms of popularity :

Small animals : 28
Old people : 0

I don't understand it. Her spelling and punctuation are awful!

Could it be the subject matter ?
