Hello and welcome to Thursday’s blog entry - and as you can see from the new format, we've gone high definition digital, we essentially means you get the same old same old but it's really in your face. I've got a whole host of items and articles to titillate and amuse you - but I've decided against publishing those and instead will reheat the same old garbage that normally appears on here.
We'll start with the Postbag. I've had been utterly under whelmed with the number of PMs I've received but I'll run through those that have come without further ado - which does imply that there has been some ado earlier, but we needn't go into that right now - or indeed or ever for fear of moderation and public humiliation. Speaking of public humiliation, I've a letter here from our old favourite Mr 'Vestibule 75'. He writes "Dear Sifi, I've been wondering for some time what it means if your significant other tells you she's been enjoying an air-fair? She says that she's been going all over the place, but not to worry because she's been using protection. I've asked her if I can come with her, but she tells me it's not my thing". Well, Vestibule, from what I understand of travel arrangements, she's right to make sure she has insurance, but I wouldn't worry too much - there are probably going to be prohibitive taxes introduced soon, and the quick and easy jaunts she's been having will soon come to an end".
I've a note here from an anonymous boarder who writes "Dearest Sifi, I'm a voluptuous, tall, blonde, pretty 36-34-36 woman and I know where you live. I'd like to show you a thing or two, you naughty naughty man". Well, that's incredibly handy. I've forgotten where I live you see, so if you could pop me a note showing me the directions I'd very much appreciate it. I've had a call from my wife and she says dinner will be ready for seven, and I've been late a few times this week. Damn memory loss.

Now competition time - Last week I asked where in the world am I, where I gave you a brief description of a well known place, and you had to guess where I was. I was slight concerned to hear from one of the better known moderators on the board suggesting that the location where I could see amusing old characters
dressed up in funny costumes representing the pinnacle of all that is good about America was Disneyland, Paris wherein fact I was at the Supreme Court.
Sympathies must go to our old favourite Vestibule who identified where I was, from the description of a deeply cold, strange smelling, unexciting place where nothing much happens as being in his underpants. Now I consider myself as quite well travelled, but I don't anticipate going to that god forsaken hell-hole. Not after the last time anyway. No wonder your other half is always indulging in cheap air-fairs.

Now, for the Sifi blog Sports Round up. And what a week it's been at e-festivals with the annual ballooning championship really grabbing the imagination. There are no-end of competitors for the annual challenge, which sees boarders visiting far away and strange places such as the Guilfest forum. Rumour has it that this year's course might even take in the rarely visited LDV Vans forum of e-balls, uncharted territory if there ever was. The usual suspects will all being attempting to bussle their way around the course of discussion and debate, taking all manner of subjects for the crown of ballooner of the year 2006. The bookies having been doing good business too, but my tip for the prestigious prize would be the one and only Cultseeker. He's been showing good form in some of the discussion forums, and without doubt he's got the hot air to propel him to glory and the resilience to boot.

New this week to the Sifiblog is the culinary corner. This week, we'll be looking at efestivals favourite foodstuff - the curdled milk of cows, and sometimes other animals - Cheese. Despite the a number of polls on the subject, there is still a lack of consensus as to the favoured cheese of e-festivals. However, I'd like to make a suggestion to add to the list of the traditional calls for Cheddar and Brie. This particular cheese seems to be prolific on e-fests, with a long history of adding to the ritualistic nibbling that goes on amongst the boarders. A slightly dry number, this cheese is certainly not to everyone's palate - and quite a few boarders have been known to turn their noses us at it's strong, sometimes overbearing aroma. May I present my cheese of the week - Peevis. Slight under mature, but certainly enjoyable with a good glass of red - and easily available at any good meet, I understand.
Thanks for reading, see you next week!
