So you’ve stumbled across thelump.net. You’re startled, confused, and a bit peckish. You rub your tired eyes, and gaze around the place like an open jawed tourist in a foreign land, awe inspired by the bright neon lights, the loud evening traffic and the strong smell of coffee. “What’s this all about, you say?” in a demanding yet curious voice.

Well, its easy to explain: the lump is like an online sweetieshop, but instead of gobstoppers, flying saucers and curly wurlys, you get news, reviews, opinions, rants, articles, tips, gossip… all sorts of everything, and its addictive, just like the sweeties. Its a blog from the UK, for the people of the UK; we have no grudges or bad feelings towards our Western neighbours, but its always nice to keep things a little homegrown once in a while, so that this is a blog grown from our own bad weather and high cholesterol.
