Click the image above if your fancy might be tickled by the free download of an mp3 mix featuring some of the tracks from Kylie’s new album ‘X’. It’s worth a listen, even if its only for the sake of curiosity….

Music Tank – Music 2 Mobile

– Click to enlarge. Attended the above Music Tank seminar this evening. Controversial and interesting indeed! There seems still to be a huge difference of opinion between the people who make and publish music and the people who exploit it as a means to make money. Yet ideally, should it not be a synergistic relationship? The music makers [...]

Argh – London post sucks!

Goddammit! Mum’s birthday arrives and the card I posted last week has not arrived yet. I was obviously under the mistaken impression that the postal service would be back to ‘normal’ by now after the postal strike. Evidently 3 days for first class post is ‘normal’ these days. I also seem to be turning into a grumpy old man! Now [...]

Oogie Boogie seen in south London

Went to a mates party on Saturday night only to come face to face with Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Thankfully, it was a fancy dress Halloween party and Oogie was another mate of mine, who rightfully won the costume competition. Having friends in theatre does tend to mean being upstaged at such events [...]

Crazy commuters!

– Click to enlarge. Over the last 2 years in my old job I have worked a slightly later shift than the norm, so the tube was quietening down by the time I made my journey home. These last few days at my new job have seen me leaving work between 1700 and 1730 – and [...]

Day 1: Check!

Well, I arrived on time, I remembered the paperwork I needed to take in, I was able to remember my way back to the office after lunch, I got my email and other required systems up and running by the end of the day, went through some training and got a bit of work done [...]

England lose Rugby World Cup final – gutted!

Well, much as I hate to admit it, I do think that the best team on the night won. There will be much debate today and probably for some time over Mark Cueto’s disallowed try – was he or wasn’t he in touch? But the fact remains that the decision was made and is final – South [...]
