If you haven’t seen The Age of Stupid then you must. Everyone must. Buy it. Borrow it. Rent it. I don’t care how you get hold of it but you must watch it and tell everyone else to as well.
I try to recycle but never have been brilliant at it. I have gradually become more environmentally friendly. I got the idea of sustainability before I really understood climate change, purely because I think we are very wasteful of resources. However I admit until now although I’ve done my bit I’ve …
If you’re on Twitter you couldn’t miss the tweets about #debill yesterday evening. Today it’s all over the news. But what is it and why the fuss?
The Digital Economy Bill (hence the abbreviation to “debill”) is been created to update our laws relating to digital, information and communications sectors. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills gives details on the four broad areas the bill will address:
A competitive digital communications infrastructure
Creative industries in a digital world
Public service content
Digital security and safety
The Digital Britain website gives more information on each of …
It’s come as no surprise to most of us that a General Election will be held on the 6th May. Somehow that didn’t make it any less exciting to follow the events of yesterday, kicking off what is going to be an exciting month ahead. I have an idea of who I’ll vote for, but by no means is that a firm decision. I’m fascinated (and quite often frustrated) by the tactics politicians use to try and get votes, often patronising and alienating the electorate. I’m amazed that local election …
It’s been two weeks and one day since I last blogged. Not that I haven’t had plenty to write about. Someone needs to create a psychic notebook that transcribes your thoughts into words on the page.
It’s been a busy couple of weeks and amongst everything else I had intended to update you on my writing and politics a bit earlier. I had a whole blog conjured up with my thoughts on Alice in Wonderland (in IMAX 3D of course and it was brilliant in my opinion!). There was ice skating, …
This weekend was comedy weekend. And it was brilliant. I’ve been looking forward to it for ages. Friday was John Bishop, followed by Dave Gorman last night. It’s been nine or ten months since I first saw John Bishop on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and I immediately decided I had to see him on tour. Then back in January I phoned the Theatre Royal in the off chance there might be some Dave Gorman seats left. Fate must have been smiling on me that day as I got returned seats …
I warn you this is a LONG blog so I won’t be offended if you decide not to read it. If you decide to give it a go can I suggest you get yourself a cuppa before you begin!
As I start to look at what I want to do in my career next there’s a few themes emerging…
I live to learn. Learning as much as I can about a lot of things in a short space of time. I absorb information at an alarming rate. For someone who talks a …
Nope I haven’t become a nun. Even though my decline in blogging frequency may lead you to believe I’m holed up in a convent without access to the internet.
I am getting in the habit of exercising. Something I’ve tried to do before, and was finally succeeding in before the flu to end all influenza. This time once I was fully fit it took merely a week to get me back in a workout schedule. In the past my pattern with exercise has tended to be four weeks on, four months …
