Black Box

It's not a black box in an aeroplane. Or that house music anthem 'Ride on Time' (anyone remember?). It is in fact a highly addictive little box that takes you to blogs all over the world by answering various questions like Al Pacino or Robert De Niro? Sunset or Sunrise? I was even asked Boobs or Ass. It's a brilliant marketing tool, click on the bottom to find out more. Meanwhile...enjoy...







If you have come to my place via the black box please leave your name and a brief message. It's always nice to meet new people...

oohhh! This I like! And.. I remember Black Box.. Ride On Time! But I have had one too many glasses of wine tonight to follow instructions so I will do this tomorrow! (Other Half was away on business so I got stuck into SATC box set and a bottle of Chianti!) oops!

It's a little scary, like getting lost at night in a city you don't know but in the car with the doors locked, wish I'd done what That Girl? did, far too chirpy this morning. MH

Hi CTTF, Tried the Black Box thing - got a bit out of my depth. Really am new to this.

just wanted to say Hello and that I like your blog. It looks very classy.

Oh and referring to an earlier post, I am DESPERATE to get my mitts on the Emma Bridgewater butter dish.

Milla said...

yup, another black boxer here (even though I'm white really and rather weedy). Love your middleclass stuff (although would cross the road to avoid Cath 'n' Emma stuff so can't come to your house and eat delish meats and olives, boo.

I knew you'd get hooked!
How many bizarro ones have you discovered so far?

auntiegwen said...

hey

Black box sent me to you twice !!!!

That girl - I am jealous of your night. Who needs a black box when you have a bottle of vino and SATC box set!
MH - Yes, I agree. Slightly scary and slightly too addictive. Think wine and tele might be a better option tonight.
Jennysmith - Thanks so much for liking my blog. That is very kind. I kinda feel a bit guilty in credit crunch spending £30 on a butter dish...but it is lovely...
Milla - how disappointing that you aren't a black boxer but are in fact just a weedy white girl. Oh well. If you come for cured meat and olives, I promise I will hide the Emma and Cath stuff. Get my old teatowels out and dunk your teabag in a plain white john lewis mug isntead. Sound better?
Tara - I blame you - you introduced me to the black box which has even asked me if I spit or swallow. I don't know what it means of course...I have visited a few scary ones and chosen not to leave a message. There was one on Stalin that was particularly intense...
Auntiegwen - that's because we have so much in common...

HER ON THE HILL said...

Found Black Box just last night - and a good new blog with it. Came to you though via Millenium Housewife and glad I've found you! Have popped long boring comment on your Empty Nest Syndrome Post and a quick one on the Middle Class post.

The Dotterel said...

I didn't, but I've tried it, and I like it (a bit too much!). As if blogging wasn't already taking up enough time...

Gayle's Joy In Life said...

Love this little black box! Nice reading here, I'll stop by from time to time.

Cheesemeister said...

Not really sure that anyone wants to meet me, but apparently, this is not your lucky day!
No I'm not a troll or anything. I'm just a bit down on myself right now.

valley girl said...

Wow, that's really quite fun, if a bit freaky. I can't begin to get my head round how it works. What's yours, Jason Orange v Gary Barlow?

Dave said...

My bookmarks brought me here!

I have had a few goes on the black box box but I got blogs about toothless Victorians and mountain goats. They are two separate blogs in case you're wondering.

Helga Hansen said...

I'm another passenger on the Black Box journey! Nice to meet you!!

marc aurel said...

What alternatives did you offer?

It seems like the black box always takes me to the same few blogs.Is it just me or is it happening to others
