There is a lot to be divined from the title of this website. You know that behind the keyboard is the sort of person who sits alone in the bar behind a newspaper complaining about the music/service/cost of a pint etc. Yet a better acquaintance might reveal something worthwhile, perhaps a slightly different view on the world or, even some guarded optimism well hidden amongst the mutterings. The main purpose of this Blog is to reduce the writers blood pressure, driven sky high by, for example, interviewers who do not ask the key question or challenge conventional ideology. There is a sort of catharsis in recording ones thoughts on some of the challenges to freedom of speech and personal responsibility that are not resolved by shouting at the television. Hence the ‘disgruntled’ bit in the title.
