I'd like to thank my agent...

Posted by Devil's Kitchen at 9/15/2009 10:17:00 PM

... or I would if I had one—for it seems that you have voted The Kitchen into the Total Politics Top Ten Blogs once again. True, I have slipped from #6 to #9 but still your humble Devil is, in any case, ever so 'umble.

Anyway, since I don't have an agent to thank, I shall, first and foremost, thank the Filthy Smoker for invariably picking up the baton when I am busy as well as for writing—let's face it—some of the best posts that have appeared at The Kitchen over the last year or so.

As always, many thanks to all of The Kitchen's contributors, commenters and readers—all of you have done a sterling job.

I'd also like to thank Gordon "Grandad" Brown and his Cabinet of spivs, fuckwits, pikeys, idiots, thieves, morons, incompetents, twats, bigots, cunts and weapons-grade cock-ends^TM for continuing to provide so much ammunition.

Although, naturally, I really can't leave the podium without thanking Dave "spam!" Cameron for being a natural runner-up. I have no doubt at all that Davey and his merry band of nitwits will continue to provide a great deal of fodder for The Kitchen over the next year or so.

I should also make mention of the Liberal Democrat leader, but unfortunately I can't remember who the fuck that is.

And so I think that's it for another year...

Oh! No, no, no, shit, wait! Wait! Shit. Just remembered...

I'd also like to thank my wife—the lovely Bella—for being generally delightful and, equally importantly, deeply tolerant of the amount of time that I sit staring at my computer screen. Ahem.

Anyway, cheers all!

Now let's put this carnival to bed for another year, shall we...?

What absolute bullshit.

Richly deserved, DK. The eight chancers above you in this list are not fit to lace your hoofed boots, especially Paul Waugh, whoever the bloody hell he is. Four more years etc.; 9/16/2009 12:58:00 AM
Wossat? said...: Long may your kitchen produce a rich feast of common sense.; 9/16/2009 12:02:00 PM
Jeff Wood said...: Well deserved.

I do think that in your post you were a bit too kind to the present "government".

Or perhaps even the great English language has not the words to precisely characterise these people.; 9/16/2009 12:15:00 PM

North Northwester said...: Well done yet again. Always amusing and very often informative to read your blog.

Ahem, "pikeys," AND " bigots"?!

Long live you freedom of speech, you gajo bastard.; 9/16/2009 06:01:00 PM
James Higham said...: Par for the course. Well done.; 9/16/2009 07:14:00 PM
FrankFisher said...: Congrats, but I think I should warn you I may be challenging your Sweary Blog crown. I'm fucked off with all these cunts.; 9/16/2009 09:00:00 PM
Anonymous said...: Well done. And my compliments to the lovely Bella.; 9/17/2009 12:15:00 AM
Nick M said...: Well done Sir!

You seem to share an affliction with my wife. She can't recognise LD leaders either. I think it's common. I reckon we need to set-up a fake charity to tackle this terrible affliction.

Anyway Devil. My uderstanding is that Mrs Devil also spends a fair bit of time at the keyboard.; 9/18/2009 09:37:00 AM

"For sheer intelligence, erudition and fun, Iain Dale's Diary, Cranmer and Devil's Kitchen are so far ahead of the rest I don't see how they can figure in a top ten.

"This hugely entertaining, articulate, witty Scottish commentator is also one of the most foul-mouthed bloggers around. Gird up your loins and have a look. Essential reading."—Doctor Crippen
"The Devil's Kitchen is one of the foremost blogs in the UK. The DK is bawdy, foul-mouthed, tasteless, vulgar, offensive and frequently goes beyond all boundaries of taste and decency. So why on earth does Dr Crippen read the DK? Because he reduces me to a state of quivering, helpless laughter."—Doctor Crippen's Grand Rounds
