Did I mention my book?

Whilst the whole point of Anya's blog has been transparent for quite a few readers, she herself gave a clue right back in the very first days. An entry for February 9th mentions; "..the unfinished novel I have in a box in the boot... So of course I had dreamt in the past of getting a book published" Hmmm.. could this be the reason d'etre for the whole blog? Well, posting on a writers site to advertise her own blog would seem to back it up. And readers wouldn't just happen upon her blog by typing random names into their address bar. Perhaps a little self promotion was called for, despite her blog supposedly being "a very personal affair". Luckily fate smiles on our wannabe authoress and she finds someone else living in woods who also keeps a blog. SACRE BLEU !! What are the chances ??? Now don't forget, her blog entries are full of how she shies away from people and yet, before she has honed this feature into her blog writing to emphasise the loneliness she feels, here she is emailing complete strangers who live rough and even meeting them. "A guy called Hugh also has a blog.... I emailed him. We met and kept in contact by email and although he is not supporting homelessness issues as such, this week he allowed me to post in his blog." I've always suspected that homeless people all over the country were emailing each other all the time and now I find it's true! (21st Century Tramps, eh! Cuh !!) No mention of why she had to post on Hugh's blog when she already has one of her own though, but hey, there's no such thing as bad publicity, right? I'm sure the post on Hughs' site did Anya’s own blog no harm in the publicity stakes either. But that probably wasn't the reason for getting in touch. Oh no. Probably just wanted to swap Nettle Stinger Soup recipes or suchlike. Like homeless people do.

Hurrah !!
Despite the Wandering Braindead Army's best efforts, this blog continues.
Seems like they ganged together (as all good mobs do) and tried to get this blog closed down.

Fortunately, after some consultation with the admin, free speech has reigned supreme and I shall continue to report on the underhanded skullduggery being commited in the name of homeles people everywhere.

God bless to all my adoring fans who speak up in the name of Truth, Justice and The British Way !!

My God - there's nothing quite like mob mentality. Imagine if we'd never questioned the Catholic Church, or the right of women to vote, Nazi proganda or The Blair Witch Project? What kind of world would be living in?

I, for one, am glad to see that free speech and healthy cynicism will out.

I might celebrate with a couple of dates and some brie...

Ive spend the last few hours reading though the whole WS stuff.

In the first instance i didnt question its authenticity as the main points raised were timings of her posts which can be explained by having access to the hospital libary (She did mention it once) which you can usually access 24/7.

But there are a few things which I question and what I havent seen mentioned. Firstly her Social Security payments. now I know a little about the social system and its very hard to be paid by Giro now.. its all bank transfer.. but she didnt have a bank account due to bad credit..so she had to have Giro .. a feat in its self.. but heres the strange bit to open a new claim you have to provide proof of address (recent bills etc) she said she had been homeless for a 8 months or so wondering around on the south coast before settling in London.. So how the hell did she get a claim opened in the first place? she says she used an old address... if so she couldnt have had any correspondance for that address for at least a year.. they wouldnt aceept that...

The other odd thing is her email address. its @btinternet. BT internet do not provide email only accounts, they provide internet access and since BT sold out to Yahoo a while back and when they did all accounts were set to a 90 day timeout. This means that if you dont actually use a landline and dial into the account it will be closed after 90 days....

Thers more i doubt too . but im lazy and not sure if this will be read . so ill save it.

Regards .. DS
