Corporate Blawg has been meta-tagged by The Landlord Law Blog and The Barristers Blog. Not feeling much weight to pander to this chainmale equivalent on the net, nor independent enough to resist partaking in a harmless game to link blogs to blogs and share the net, he has succumbed, so here are 5 (five) of the least interesting things about Corporate Blawg:
1. The average human body consists of 100 trillion (million million) cells. 10 trillion of these makes up the body, and 90 trillion are bacteria. Since Corporate Blawg is developing his 'paunch' (for gravitas purposes) and ate a rather nasty donor on Saturday (to further his paunch) Corporate Blawg has approximately 300 trillion cells, but 285 trillion of these are bacteria.
2. Corporate Blawg once met Cherie Blair/Booth in person, and was shocked by how sexy she was. After withdrawing his sweaty hand from her soft and elegant paw, Corporate Blawg decided that he had been seduced by her L'eau De Power.
3. Corporate Blawg's favourite T-shirt says "Human Being not Human Doing"
4. Corporate Blawg's last birthday party was a fancy dress party on a boat on the Thames, the theme was 007 - James Bond, and Corporate Blawg went as this. Think Blofeld's accessory.
5. Corporate Blawg is going to the Galapagos Islands with his wife in September and is more excited about this than (a) the second coming, (b) discovering life in space, and (c) Big Brother being banned from our airwaves.
Okay, so the next part of the game is to meta-tag 5 other blogs to tell 5 interesting things about themselves. Corporate Blawg chooses: The Magistrates Blog, My Daily Fatwa, The Blawg Review, Kierkegard Lives, and... must resist... baaah baaah (trans-ethnic sheep). AH-HA - DON'T DO IT - REBEL AGAINST INSIDIOUSLY COHESIVE SOCIAL ACTIVITIES! BE FREE! RUN TO THE HILLS! GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!...
and Blawg's Blog.
I'm looking at 1. and assuming your role in charity fundraising has been brief and ended rather rapidly.

Corporate Blawg spent 6 months of post-qualification gap year to set up an independent international NGO for the distribution, marketting and removal of liability for international pro bono opportunities.
Corporate Blawg met many interesting people, but money and mouths just did not link up. The project was part of the late wave of enthusiasm in 2004 that was crushed by the Tsunami, misplaced by Live Aid, lost by G8 and swept under the carpet by Making Poverty History.
Nevertheless, Corporate Blawg has vowed that if he ever becomes a Corporate Partner, the NGO will be resurrected with Corporate Blawg completely at the helm, investing the £60k p.a. that it requires to function, for a minimum of 3 consecutive years.
Corporate Blawg has believes in his dreams and so his dreams will come true, even if he has to pay for them himself.
And finally, Corporate Blawg was recently contacted by a friend he had made (when researching international trade asw a means to reduce poverty in sub-saharan Africa) at the Ministery of Economics in Zambia. Anyone interested in visiting Zambia to provide pro bono advice to the country, or has an idea for a pro bono project that could benefit the people of Zambia should email Corporate Blawg for further information.

While this is laudable, deeply impressive and wholly to be encouraged, I was merely making a weak joke on the debatable spelling of donor/doner. Any prodding of nerve-endings was entirely inadvertent and all liability disclaimed

Ah yes. Got slightly carried away there.
Been itching to scream that little rant from the rooftops.
Feel much better now though.
