Quotes about me
.
This made me smile earlier on in the most childish of ways.
Apart from that fact that I manged to intuitively guess the operation of the hReview microformat (one which I’m not familar, hCal and hCard are more my thing at the moment), I can now claim the following was said of me by a highly respected member of internet society:
Ben – you’re right
Consider the magnatude of it: My CV will be a doddle; references from the McDonald’s summer job a thing of a tragic past now forgotten.
Alternatively, I can displace McDonald’s with Oxton’s fine endorsement:
[the] prize goes to Ben Ward for being one of life’s true dingleberries.
Apparently some other people have been saying that I’m a ‘nice guy’ behind my back, but who needs word-of-mouth endorsements when you can abuse context like this?
Ever had anything good said about you?

Just to double-check: you do know what a dingleberry is, right?
I’ve had various good things said about me, throughout my life ranging from ‘what a lovely baby’ to ‘you seem like a pretty cool guy’ (by a big-name Brit Packer, no less).
More worrying, however, is the fact that you, Ben, appear to be the most popular tag on my blog posts.
‘Brit Packer’, reminds me a little too much of Newround’s junior reporters club matey. I’d stick to ‘Proud Members’.
And yes, I know what a dingleberry is. I felt it was a good one to include in case anyone accidently took me seriously.
