Ok, it's all over. Again. Or is it...?

That's utterly absurd. I've now used 99% of the photographic allowance available for this blog.


For God's sake, I've only just moved in here! Just 4 months. I can't believe it's time to draw things here to a close. How on earth did that happen?


So it's once again the traditional end-of-blog time when I ask, in the name of all reason, whether or not we're all mightily fed-up with this same old hodge-podge of tiresome old bobbins, churned out to the same old predictable formula, day in, day out... I mean, come on: we must all be getting bored of this by now, mustn't we?


So that's the question: shall I start my sixth blog (fucking Hell. I mean, really: sixth!)? Or is it not time to modestly withdraw, leaving the field free for some other up-and-coming whippersnapper to charm you with their wit and wisdom?

Or should I do a blog on a completely different theme? In which case ideas for themes would be gratefully received...

Thoughts, comments, ideas?

Don't leave us!! I like reading your blog and looking at the pictures. Seven is a perfect number--just keep going!

Keep at it! Love the combination of film, architecture and trains (oh and the odd cock here and there).
It's like a daily newspaper without the bulls**t.
Don't give up!!

It's up to you Lecuc, but I'd be happy to keep coming to your site.

I'm puzzled by your point over formula and repetition. Newspapers could be accused of the same thing, as could news channels. Repetition of theme or scope is not a crime. Repetition of content is. Carry on for everyone's sake!

Definitely continue. It's hard to believe, but there aren't enough blogs that combine pictures of trains and modestly sized cocks.

Yours is the best blog around; perfectly chosen pictures (men AND trains) interspersed with perfect commentary (dry wit, brief and to the point). Actually, I am wrong - it is more like an intimate conversation, not commentary - much better. At any rate, keep on!

Please continue. You're still the high light of my day. I so love your wit.

Mike said...

Yours is my favourite blog on the net, and although I stay anonymous I pop here almost evry day to be cheered up by your "ramblings" and pictures.

Please never stop.

I am in London on Monday...... don't force me to hunt you down and give you a good talking to!

Thanks for all you do.

Continue status quo

O please carry on. I love the trains, the buildings and the guys.

Pleas keep blogging! Even if it is a time drain for you, clearly you have a talent for it and we all appreciate that! I don't read any other blogs and it would be much missed if you stopped.

Jim in SC said...

I will not be weaned! If you go elsewhere, I'll find you and have your hide!

You have us well-trained, and you know it. Just let us know where your new home is, and we will come a'calling...

tyncanman said...

You've found a great formula. Please don't abandon us!

Tenore said...

I vote for continuing! Bring it on, Sir!

Please, please, continue on with your wit and wisdom not to mention trains, cocks & balls, and unusual shots of the UK and the boys of the UK with a few boys of other countries thrown in!!!

I agree with those above -- you have developed the perfect formula -- average to small willies, old to modern trains, classic vs. modern architecture, with a film review thrown in from time to time. I, for one, like all those themes you have chosen, so please continue onward!

My word verification is "spize" which obviously is the opposite of despise! So I "spize" this blog!

I say ditto to the rest - visiting your blog is a daily treat.

I would love to have you continue your blog! You would surely be missed my many of us! Hope you continue.

Please continue...Love reading your blog. Always looking forward to the next instalment. :-)

Dear LeDuc, it's the best blog on the web by far - a perfect amalgam of fascinating themes which will never run out of interest and are forever being refreshed. It would leave an unfillable gap if you were to stop, so PLEASE keep up the good work.

Please don't leave us. I need my daily fix of wit and winkies. You are my favorite blog.

If you go, wherever you go, please, point the address in order to visit you everyday... I've just discovered you site and it's marvellous!

For $5 (a year) you can upgrade to 20gb of picture space via picasa - the storage site of your photos for blogger. It certainly would spare you the effort of starting up a new blog.

Anonymous said...

My favorite blog on the web! Hoping you continue...

Viollet said...

I agree with the others: I like your outpourings: your interests mostly coincide with my own (not the film, I'm afraid). Delighted to discover you have Gill on typography (another of my enthusiasms).

Is there no blog hosting site which will allow more (or even unlimited) space? Or could you archive the oldest posts somehow, so that they could be viewed on demand, but not occupy current space?

I'm not sufficiently interested in web matters to know the answers to these questions, but I suspect Google is not the most generous.

The New Me said...

I'll never understand these photographic limits, but I implore you to keep going and going and going...

thanks

I hope you continue forever! Six is the your starting point. I envision you reaching over 100. You have loyal fan that love your postings. So please, LeDuc, keep going. We will follow you through all the train stations in the world and miles and miles of tracks to continue to see your posts. XOXOXO

Yours is one of my favorite blogs. I actually love the transportation and architecture part in addition to your lovely finds.

Lee said...

Yours is the best blog that I know. I like your set of themes. And there's still so much to learn about trains and East Anglia to say nothing of cocks. Some of us would appreciate an update on the condition of your garden as well. Here's hoping you'll go on.

Don't go! The interweb wouldn't be the same without you!

Neil said...

Please don't stop I love you blogs, a mix of trains, architecture and cute cock.

Have you thought of using wordpress instead?

Michael said...

Absolutely splendid 'blog' with wonderful photgraphs.....please continue.......my day wouldn't be the same without 'you'

John from Michigan said...

I'd love it if you continued, but I know blogs are a ton of work. Obviously, there are lots of us who enjoy it and check in regularly. I have learned tons from your blog about movies and architecture. I love it when you send pics when you travel, e.g. your recent trip back to your home town. It goes without saying how much I also enjoy the handsome men! Your blog continues to be worthwhile on many levels.

thisisaname said...

I would love it if you continued.

One suggestion: since you post a lot of photos of trains and various towns, perhaps it'd be easier to simply hotlink to those photos rather than uploading them directly to your blog. Much more room for little winkies!

davidikus said...

Of course the show must go on. I would really miss all these train posts! You don't need to really shift blog. Start another blog, prepare your message in the blogger composer. Then, you go to the edit html section, copy the code and paste it in this very blog! That should do the trick. Four months is too short!

What's not to love? Trains, buildings and normal winkies. I visit your blog daily. It's the best on the net.You warm up my cold, dark Alaskan nights. And if you go away I'll never know what movies not to watch.

What they said ^

tastigr said...

If you have the drive and the passion, I'd love it if you did continue-I mean, where else on the web can we find two of the best passions in the world in the one place?

Thank you so much for all you do-it brings a smile to a busy life!

And selfishly, if you were not to continue, I would be sad, as I wouldn't know what the lovely Spike was reading...makes for boring luncheon dates!

You're not just a blogster, you're an online entertainer. The show must go on!

Dio said...

Don't you dare stop. Everything else has already been said. The only thing missing from this blog are pics of you ;)

Anonymous said...

Please don't leave! I only discovered this blog a couple of months ago. It is the best I have found so far. Your wit and eye for stunning photos is practically un-matched.

Anonymous said...

Like most of those who have commented previously, the first Blog I look at each day is yours - ever since Blood and Custard! Your loyal and international following would miss your wit and wisdom deeply as well as the pretty winkies and trains and the occasional but telling political points.
The suggestion by Anonymous yesterday to use Picasa to store the images might make Blog 7 last longer and I among many look forward to it.

Anonymous said...

Please stay. Where else will there be pictures of Norfolk and very tastefull naked men in the same place?

Don't go! We all need our daily dose of LeDuc. Love ya,

Nobody does it like you, mate.

Stewart Jackel said...

Tastiger refers to two of the best passions in the world. I assume he refers to cock and balls. Oh and there's rail and rolling stock. Or film and follies.

If you are still enjoying it, good Mr LeDuc, then keep at it before you get to old and feeble (like Tastiger's lunch date) because we are still 'reading'. :-)
