As spotted and tweeted by Ed West at the 'graph, and I'm taking it to a narrower audience as A - it is amusing, and B - proof that I still live and breathe:
"Croydonian is brilliantly observant, laugh out load sarcastic and punchy to the point - the sort of blog you go back to a few times a day in those spare few minutes between "real work". That is to say, he's in my favourites, not just my bloglines. Poliblogs
"quite simply one of the most informative, erudite and witty blogs i’ve come across. A man of, it would seem, impeccable taste, an eye for the absurd and always the first port of call if you wish to know about what’s really going on in the world. La Vie Est Belge
"€œCroydonian is fast becoming one of my favourite bloggers. A rich mixture of diary posts, book reviews, news, views and political comment, it's highly recommendedâ€� Daily Pundit

"I enjoy your writing, find you to be an apparently humane and amusing man, I am just baffled as to why you support [Israel]"Comment from Phone Cam Foolery
And because one has to make a few enemies, "the first time that I saw Croydonian on 18doughtystreet.com...I formed the opinion that he was arrogant, a snob, and effeminate in mannerisms. The type I take an instant dislike to". 'Eugene'.
