Tin Drummer Interview
About Me
- Bill Haydon
- Generally speaking I write on loads of subjects, however I like, with whatever level of anger and ignorance takes my fancy.
Integrate Yourself Into My Other Blog
My other blog is a maths blog, sort of for boring the pants off anyone who passes by with A Level stuff.
It's at Completing the Square.

Raising My Self Esteem:
"Blog Tin Drummer is written by unperson. Rectify" Crushed, Crushed By Ingsoc
"...you garner a lot of respect from people for the quality of your writing." DK, Devil's Kitchen
"F*** me sideways with a chain saw what a damn good blog." Bradford Vision
"An A-blogger if ever there was one, The Tin Drummer has this cursed no-comments policy which I feel detracts from the universal blog-purpose and yet he may be right. Perhaps experience dictates that comments are a mere distraction. Who knows? The best bloggers have their fingers on the pulse, if we might put it that way and TTD does this to perfection.."
James Higham, Nourishing Obscurity
"This is clearly a bright guy. He has something to say and he's not dithering about it." Tom Paine, The Last Ditch
"A source of insightful commment, the thoughts contained within are a great help in developing your pub debates." City Unslicker
"The tin drummer can also make cricket interesting to me, no mean feat as I’ve said. On this blog you will find clear political analysis, beautiful descriptive writing and some self-deprecating humour as well. I love his recent posts on why he has been driven to swear online! All posts are delivered in an excellent and riveting prose style. The tin drummer has a great flair for post titles, too!", WL, Sicily Scene
"So evocative with a dark edge..." Colin Campbell

Yay!
Well done TTD. I, of course, shall take none of the credit for changing your mind.

P.S. James Higham has conniptions about word verification on the basis that "they are not words". He is, of course and as he is in so many other ways, wrong.
cfpvd: noun. Unpleasant disease spread through contact with destructive and nonsensical EU policies.
David Farrer is an excellent blogger, well respected in the sphere and you've done well to link him. This now brings us down to politics and how I detest them. You're clearly left of both David and me and someone like Norman Geras is so far left he's off the chart. And yes - we're talking about the term I used today - class bloggers. I think it's crazy to let politics come between gentlemen who clearly respect each other's abilities and I'm certainly not choosing the blogs I come to on any sort of political basis. It's the nature of the guy and the quality of his writing. That's all.
Crumbs. I don't often get called left of anyone! But I agree, James. I respect Norm and his blog massively, even if I disagree with a lot of it, just because it is cogently argued, well written, humane and interesting.
On the other hand, the guy who posted the abuse of David Farrer has appalling politics and can't write for toffee.
The above two gentlemen share the responsibility for comments appearing on this blog, and indeed have the only comments on this blog, apart from this.
