Royal Weddings and Your Blog-Wishes

Last Week's Poll

In an uncharacteristically curmudgeonly mood, we invited our readers to share what they'd rather be doing than watching a Royal Wedding. Here's what you told us.

• 44% percent would rather be golfing.
• 21% would prefer to chew off their own foot.
• 7% would prefer to spend a year in solitary confinement. 
• 7% would rather be dunked in a vat of boiling javex. 

And a surprising 21% of hardcore, die-hard romantics told us that they're rather watch TWO Royal Weddings.

Well, it's all over now: we officially set aside the boiling javex and wish all the best to William and Katherine who, of course, are regular readers of this blog.

This Week's Poll: What Do You WANT from Us?

Last month we transmogrified "Our Times", the trusty old Consilium e-Newsletter, into "Our Times - The Blog".

You seemed to like that. We used to get about 600 hits per month on our newsletter page: in its first month, the blog was visited over 3,200 times. Even more surprising, we've discovered we have regular readers in the United States, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Pakistan, Israel, Bangladesh, South Africa, Germany,  and the United Arab Emirates.

So tell us...what do you want to see more of?
