Get On, Clip In, Fall Off

Shameless Exploitation

As should be obvious from the targets of some of the hyperlinks in the last couple of entries (not to mention the image link that's, er, over there.. no, down a bit, above the Movable Type logo, that's it..) I've taken the opportunity to enrol in the Amazon UK Associates thingy. All this means is that if anyone visiting this site happens to follow one of those links and buys something, Amazon pay me a teeny tiny percentage. Given that hardly anyone other than me reads this site anyway and that those people who do read it (most of whom share my surname) are far too sensible to throw money away on frivolous e-commerce activities I don't exactly expect to make millions, but the chance to get a few quid off a DVD or two isn't something to sniff at.

And anyhow, as I usually link to Amazon when mentioning things like books, all this means is that if I say something like "Everyone should read John Simpson's excellent book on Iraq and anyone happens to buy it, Amazon get to throw me a few pennies for the sale they'd have got anyway.

With the running costs of this site being what they are (anything up to ten whole pounds per month), I obviously need all the help I can get to keep serving up this mostly unread mishmash of narcissistic, badly-proofread blather.
