the media hostage

28May09

I don’t profess to be an expert in everything media, but I am switched on to the way that many media outlets work. As a very, very rough rule of thumb, when it comes to national media, it goes a bit like this:
If you pitch an idea to a national title, you need to have [...]

ridiculous

27May09

I was awake at 5.37 this morning and out of the house at 6.17am resplendent in too tight running trousers (bah the flump) and my Anti-Lecture Strike T shirt, ipod wired up and bottle of water in hand. A mile* later and I was home in the shower.
I have a hangover.
I feel shite.
Fuck this running [...]

pr officer required – anyone other than a pro apply within

celebrity spot fail

13May09

On Friday I was minding my own business in the bar of Charlotte Street hotel. (No, actually I wasn’t, I was trying to persuade an editor that I know what I am talking about and have story ideas worth considering.) Anyway, I was there, admiring the med hot orange and pale blue decor, balking at [...]

kevin bacon revisited

13May09

Following on from this post where I ponder the relative wee-ness of the world.
So, there I was last night, dawdling down Kings Avenue in Clapham and chatting on the phone to The Mechanic. I had had a few drinks in Clapham Junction and tried to decipher the tapas menu with Daniel and I was a [...]
