Who is Bill Blunt and what does he want to tell us? Is he real? Is he a journalist? What's happening in his divorce? Exactly what works of literature line his walls? So many questions, let's see if any are answered by the reviewers:

Percentile Rank: 18 This reminds me of a country song. All this person talks about is his wife leaving him. Maybe he isn't whining about it, but geez, I don't want to read about people's marital problems. If I did, I'd read the Enquirer... and it would probably be funnier.
Not sure why this was submitted as a humor site.
The side columns distract the eye from the blog content.
Reasonably well written, but an absolutely snooze-fest.I'm not sure what motif the author assumes is holding us, but it appears to be a repetitive series of insights about what he thinks about himself.
This appears to be a popular blog, so maybe its just me, but I would not be back.
The title is good... but the site fails to deliver on either being "blunt" or on being funny. I was hoping for a site of sarcasm or of caustic humor! Very British in flavor. The practice of tagging virtually any word in a post is annoying.
Any blog that mentions Birkenhead has to score highly just like in the Eurovision song contest.
ED NOTE: Birkenhead? The sandals?
I enjoyed the writing style and liked the look of the site, but just didn't laugh much.
Content was not interesting to me.
I'm going to rate this blog highly, because it takes an almost herculean effort for things to go over my head, but this managed to do it. Either this isn't meant to be funny or the humor is so highbrow/tongue-in-cheek/British that I'll never get it, so I'll assume the latter and rate it highly.
"Pigeon of the Month" is a golden idea. I wanted to like the rest, I really did. (i didn't).
Am I the only one who googled Bill Blunt? Well another hard sell to the reviewers, and none of my questions answered. Disappointment abounds. Diesel, I don't want to throw down the gauntlet here but I just may take all these tepidly reviewed blogs and start up a rival site.
I may eat my words later, but did people not understand that this was parody? I'm not saying that I figured this blog out because quite frankly I may not have. I am saying, however, that I loved the highbrow British humor (I think it's my Brit-envy coming through) and found the bombastic Bill Blunt (if that's who he really is) to be rather genius.
Bill or Thomas or whomever handles the critique for Bill - I genuinely am at a loss for words. Your blog is unique and to change anything would just ruin that. But let's take a stab. I'd go for a little de-cluttering - all of that sidebar action and word tagging is just plain distracting. Compartmentalize that and let's just get to the funny or rather the tragic tales of marriage dissolution and Birkenhead. Then we'll talk.
