If horseriding proves that the best fun is the the simplest fun, so does the art of letter writing.

Video killed the radio star..or so said the Buggles way back in 1982. But those that argue technology is wiping out traditional forms of communication have got it wrong.

Meet Miss O Dear, a blogger who combines good old fashioned letter writing with modern technology in her blogs. With passive aggressive candour she lays waste to the many objects of her ire in her weekly blogs.

The objects of her invective range from hapless Weatherman, toothpaste companies and even tall people.

The site has picked up a bloggers choice award and is a Bloggy Nomminee.

All of which prove two things; that the pen truly is mightier than the sword, and secondly...

you should never, ever take advice from a Buggle.
