Thanet Star - actively improving Thanet one idea at a time

I'll keep blogging until the lights go out

Written by Matt B · first published 17/12/2011
Having been shafted by the Christmas Humbug Jobsworth Society there is little chance of me paying the hosting bills this side of Chrimbo.

I will however keep blogging until the lights go out.

In the unlikely event that my hosting company are very understanding I hope to pay up in the new year (somehow) and maybe come back on line. If not it has been great knowing you and my many thanks for staying around to read the blog.

Sadly I to have given up my proper (Naked in Thanet) website, partially because of financial reasons.

I noticed that your site had gone. It is a shame that an art project such as yours could not have found a sponsor.
