The blogging habits of Tunbridge Wells resident Paul Milner were at the centre of a family argument last weekend. It transpired that not even his wife was familiar with Mr. Milner's recent blog posts.
"I was gobsmacked" said Mr Milner. "You might have thought that a blog would at least be read by the writer's spouse. But no."
The revelation came about due to a chance discussion on Sunday. An opinion held by Mr Milner and discussed on his blog was met with some surprise by his spouse. Amongst protestations of ignorance, the unsettling facts came to light: despite over 15 years of marriage, Mr Milner's blog had never actually been perused by his wife.
"Isn't it part of the sacred vows of marriage to read your partner's weblog?" commented Mr Milner. "Well if not it should be. How else am I supposed to drop subtle hints about my birthday?" he added.
Mr Milner plans to make a five foot high enlarged and laminated copy of future blog posts and affix them in front of his wife's mirror, where she is sure to see them almost immediately.
