I couldn’t believe it when I read this morning that Twenty Major has decided to quit blogging. After 4 years of consistent, mostly daily, well thought-out and pieces of very writing. He never held back, everyone was a cunt, he was thoroughly and dependably bitter and through his brilliant stories and opinion pieces he developed a wide readership and formed a community of regular readers and commenters.

I understand that it must have been tiring to be so consistently, shocking, funny, up-to-date, original and just so damn good, and he says so in a rare glimpse into the mind of the real Twenty on his blog today. He will be missed from the Irish Blogging community where he has reigned as Best Blogger for the last three years running.

Having signed a two-book deal in 2007, the book; “Order of the Pheonix Park“, which was published in Feb 2008 is a great read cover to cover. The second book, “Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder” is to be released around Feb/Mar 2009 will no doubt be just as bold as the last.

It almost reflects Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher who retired from the sport in 2006 and so giving the rest a chance of winning something. Time will only tell what great new blogs will emerge from the sad departure.

I ask you, Mr Major, what will you do now to vent, eh??
