Hemlock's mate David Wilson, who scribbles for the Sunday Post occasionally as part of his grand plan to help Hong Kong's best loved ghostwriter shift his not so little red books , has been at it again.
Yesterday's edition of the New York Times Magazine wannabe carried a list of what it called the top 20 local websites, with Hong Kong's most obnoxious expat just pipping Tin Shui Wai's Wetland Park into second place.
Given that there are apparently 2,000 Hong Kong English-language blogs (note to self – must update the links), David can perhaps be excused the odd slip-up.
Poor old Yan Sham-Shackleton, who runs a site calledGlutter and is as vibrantly feminine as Ana Ivanovic, is given a sex change and praised for "his honesty in writing about politics".
Perhaps David was thrown by the fact that Yan actually lives in L.A., or perhaps he was making a subtle allusion to the gender-bending furore now referred to on Mainland chat-rooms as theSham Shui Po Boy-cum-Girl Incident .
Other bloggers to make it into David's top 20 include the "most banal blog" operating out of Hong Kong (Dave's , not David's, words) – you can be the judge – and Ordinary Gweilo , the fellow who put the dog with a bone into doggedness.
Coming in at Number Ten is none other thanSpike , yet another techie, whose heart-on-sleeve style may be too much for some , but appeals to the voyeur in Mr Wilson.

Are you a bit bitter that you didn't get a mention?
I ckufing am, the cnuts.
two words for you: fuck you
Check out Big White Guy's classic pages devoted to his Chinese wife's malapropisms. Reading them is like listening to the Catherine Tate characters who are always wetting themselves as they recount the incredibly boring things that have happened to them.
you are a wanker and a coward, dave.
if you are so smart, get your own blog.
Pretty miffed, Mr T, but obviously not as upset as some people.
I don't know. I sure wouldn't like to be quoted on the same page that has the airport express and disney websites as being "influential" ... in fact when hubby picked it up and had a look through I was positively pale at the thought I might be in there!
