100th Post Spec.. Craptacular!
So this is my first post since friday, making that the longest “break” I’ve taken since I started this thing. I wish I could tell you that it was because I was putting together something particularly stunning for this post or anything else along those lines, but I’d be lying. I’ve actually been a little ill, and the prospect of writing posts, or doing much at all at a computer for that matter, hasn’t been in the slightest bit of appealing.
I did originally intend to get this post up sometime over the weekend, but it got put off and off until we arrived at today. Thanks to my awesome technical skills I was able to get the internet working on my laptop again, meaning I can post from bed. As such, I now present to you a celebration of Another Form of Relief making the 100 post milestone.
I could sit here and write something incredibly meaningful about the time I’ve spent writing this blog, but that doesn’t seem all that appealing. Maybe we’ll do that for the 200th post celebration. In it’s place, we’ll be going through a bunch of fun facts about the blog in no particular order. Which hopefully will be more exciting than it sounds there.
Days Another Form of Relief has existed: 94
Number of different addresses AFoR has had: 3 (anotherformofrelief.com, theclerisy.com/afor, scruntybastard.co.uk/afor)

Most bizarre band that emailed me or added me on Myspace: Trilby Tracksuit (”The most notorious crew in Royal Tunbridge Wells, the ghetto of kent.”)
To be honest I thought I’d have more little lists or facts to include in this thing, but apparently not. Coupled with the fact that I’m getting really tired again and the laptop battery doesn’t have a great deal of life left in it, this seems like the best point to bring it a close.
Thanks to everyone who has read AFoR through these early posts (over 18,000 of you!), and I hope you enjoy the next 100 too. Normal service will be resuming in the near future, by which I probably mean sometime tomorrow.

congratulations, eddie! i’m hitting 100 posts tomorrow, too, and it is pretty exciting. i’m not going to tell you how many hits i’ve had, tho, coz that’s a pretty pathetic number! but that’s not the important thing, now is it? it’s all about the music, and you’ve brought some great bands to my attention. thanks.
