Short answer: because I broke it and couldn’t fix it.
So, I started a new blog – www.JamesBliss.net.
However, it was niggling me that I couldn’t fix it, so I persevered.
And finally I fixed it – see this post at my new blog.

My blog is supposed to send my blog posts to twitter and is also supposed to send my tweets to my blog. However, I’ve just noticed that this has stopped recently.
A bit of digging around and I find out that it’s twitter itself that has made some changes. They’ve changed the way third-party applications authenticate with the twitter service – http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_faq. This includes the twitter tools plugin which I use on my WordPress blog.
So, a quick update to the latest twitter tools version should, I hope, fix it. Here goes.
Lincolnshire County Council chief executive Tony McArdle is paid £173,226 for 2009/10.
Now, where could LCC possibly make any financial cuts?
in worst police forces in the UK for complaints against officers. Most complaints were about rudeness, assault or failure of duty.
The forces with the most multiple complaints per officer were in Northern Ireland, West Mercia and Lincolnshire.
Yes, very well done Lincs Police. May I suggest you stop arsing around with shiny new tractors and BMWs and return to training your officers (I use the word loosely, of course) in civility, restraint and doing their bloody duty.
And, somewhat off-topic but I’m enjoying this rant nevertheless, stop paying them bloody bonuses to do what is ostensibly their sodding jobs. Most other people don’t get bonuses to do that which they get paid for – that’s the whole point of the pay. (Sorry Lincs Police, this is not solely directed a you, of course).
Rant temporarily over.
Only in the rural flat-lands of Lincolnshire could this occur.
In addition to the BMWs, Imprezas, Volvos, Audis, etc. that Lincs Police have, they now have a John Deere to add to their fleet.

And I quote…
Talks are ongoing to develop new ideas, with a crematorium for Gainsborough and a composting plant closer to residents living in the fringe villages, near Lincoln, under construction.
These two locations are only c. 20 miles apart. Surely, in these austere times some clever soul at the Council will see the idea that is blatantly starring them in the face: combine both facilities into one and, as it were, kill two birds with one stone.
Now, from where should I collect my reward?
Hmmm… I wonder if any Foxconn employees on the Apple-line got free Coldplay music on their iPods. Milo, we may be on t… http://disq.us/lvc8b
Finally, someone has called for the separation of my most liked and most disliked brands.
Best quote …
so (Steve Jobs) invited (Chris) Martin on stage yesterday to play… well, I couldn’t tell you what he played, actually, because after the first few bars I noticed some drying paint in an adjacent room that needed my attention.
Thank you Milo Yiannopoulos, thank you. And no, it’s not just you – not by a long way, I suspect. Let’s rid the world of Coldplay and Martin the Miserable – as life-forms go I’ve known more interesting (and cheerful) barnacles.
