Why don't you leave the poor bastards alone? What have they ever done to you? Okay, so their blog is a bit self-indulgent - so are 99.9pc of them. This sort of personal blogging is what the whole genre was invented for before it got hi-jacked by political hacks like us!
They've cited the reason for not backing Campbell as not wanting to back somebody who played an active part in a colleague's downfall. But which of the three candidates signed the ultimatum to Kennedy? Clue: it wasn't Campbell or Hughes.
Ahhh Anonymous - I pointed that out when guido first blogged about this couple-whom-we-should-all-aspire-to-be.
Sadly, getting increasingly addicted to the thing and keep on reading the archives for more exciting tales about tanning, sleazy work colleagues and the most perfect marriage.
And Ralph - much more fun to start a book on how long it will take for one of them to use the blog to criticise their spouse (along the lines of myboyfriendisatwat)
Fear not - the Leicestershires live on: http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:WIfHk8DX9_sJ:theleicestershires.blogspot.com/+theleicestershires&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=1

That's not at all pedantic, betblogger: grammatically, it must be "The Darbyshires", never "The Darbyshire's". Guido, is Dan Quayle doing your sub-editing? Mrs Darbyshire writes: "With all our busy-busy party-partying I hadn't even noticed, but it seems we're being scribbled about even on snobby stuffy Right-Wing blogs, such as Goodo!! There are so many indecorous posts about little me that I've begged hubby to please please take them down pronto-pronto. Insulting life-styles (such as ours!) will be a hate-crime under Chris's great new government! So looking forward..."
I kinda agree with Ralph. Despite believing themselves to be one of the most perfect, kindest, and most honourable couples around, they are full of absolute bile.
They are vindictive to people they know - and think that spiking another person's cup of tea with salt is the height of wit and sophistication.
Their ideas of what constitutes libel are hilarious, especially when it comes to the unsubtantiated rumours about public figures they themselves print.
Okay...as a democrat, I accept I'm outvoted! And to be fair to Guido, they did let themselves in for it by publicly supporting Oaten without mentioning Mr Darbyshire's employmnent history.
Guido, it's great you are a fan of ours and I'm glad we are keeping you entertained although truly and honestly our blog was meant for our family and friends as a personal diary- the fact that we (used) to believe in the Lib Dems was a mere by-the-by.
But please remove the slanderous comment about the future of our marriage and my husband's sexuality because I can assure you that he is very, very, very straight and the split you're all waiting for so fervently just isn't going to happen.
We married so quickly because we fell in love. I know it's hard to believe in this day and age but true love does still exist. At least it still exists here, I don't know about elsewhere.
The spoof blog went under police investigation and was reported as a crime, with the Detective Constable investigating saying to us (unprompted) that the author was blatantly very jealous of one or both of us.
I accept we weren't the nicest of people to our enemies during that row but we didn't start it. We were happily minding our own business as usual when we suddenly found ourselves the subject of attack and it did cause upset to both ourselves and our family and friends. I'd like to see how you or any other bloggers would cope with having a weird, obsessive stalker spoofing your blog, it was just really really creepy.
Anyway we've also had an apology from the Editor of the New Statesman for that article which also included a number of factually incorrect statements.

And Chris' campaign had been going well up to now. Oh well.
A cat with feline AIDS no less. I for one cannot WAIT to read about it.

I clicked on 'Leah's Independent Article'. Hilariously, an 'L' seems to be missing from Blackpool so it reads:
'Lib Dems In Blackpoo'

/pedant: Please leave the apostrophe out of "Darbyshires" in the title of this post. Thanks awfully.

Paul,

paul,
surely just:

Took me a while to figure out which post you were referring to. Mrs Fawkes joins me in conveying our awe with your relationship.
