Welcome to my world! My name's Nik, and I'm a British expatriate who has been living in Paris, France for the last five years. Even though I never planned to stay in Paris for very long, now I'm here I've no plans to leave soon - the beauty of Paris has never worn off, and so far it's been a five year long vacation! Enjoy my ramblings...

Not up to scratch

BritBlog have refused to add me to their directory. Apparently I have failed in their requirements to be a blog written by a British person. Needless to say I'm quite devastated by this. Despite international pressure I still spell colour with a 'u', and at this very moment I'm eating cheese on toast. That's British, with a capital B.

I had even put a little rectangle ad thing in the sidebar for them (removed now, obviously).


Hmph.

aw, don't feel bad...Francopats turned me down for a link exchange (one has to link to them first and then they consider it). As Groucho Marx said, "I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me." (or something like that)...

I think I'm over it now :-)

I've been turned down by directories for other sites I have, and the only thing that disappoints me really is the standard 'we won't go into details why, but you've been rejected' email. Leaves you guessing why, when usually it turns out they barely looked at your site before making a decision.

To be fair I think they have to deal with an immense amount of rubbish sites - just like we have to deal with too many spam comments (deleted two today!).
