Twitter Success with BT
Last night, whilst watching the wonderful “Come Dine With Me” I twittered about the joys of the BT Vision on-demand service. The morning I was being followed by @BTCare.
Good to see BT monitoring their brand on Twitter, but did they really care?
A while back I got a Sentata Sports viewing card, however it has never [...]
Britain’s Got “Talent”?
Starting yesterday, and running all this week, sees the Semi Finals of Britain’s Got Talent, the ITV show to find an act for the Royal Variety Performance to show off their talent before the Queen.
This is another show that can be enhanced with the use of Twitter and the #bgt tag to have a conversation [...]
Exton in the sunshine – Dog Walk #2
On a stunning sunny bank holiday weekend in Hampshire we went inland to the small village of Exton for a countryside walk.
To find Exton drive up the A32 and you’ll find it eventually. Parking is possible in The Shoe, a very nice public house (pictured behind my head).
From there we wandered along the route up [...]
Royal Victoria Country Park – Dog Walk #1
One of the joys of owning a dog is that I have an excuse to go for a walk in the middle of the day, which weather permitting, is a pleasurable experience.
It does leave the question each day of where to go, and one venue that is always worth consideration is the Royal Victoria Country [...]
The Apprentice – What a Shower
It’s taken me a long time to make any comment about the reality TV show, The Apprentice. I find it interesting watching mainly, like most other people that watch it, because I wonder why the collection of half witted individuals who sign up think they have any chance of actually being good in business.
The problem [...]
Twitter – my strategy
I had a Twitter epiphany the other day. I unfollowed loads of people because I never read a word they wrote, nor did I care. I’m not saying they were boring, just with so many people Tweeting the noise became too much.
Some may have in turn unfollowed me. However I really couldn’t care if they [...]
So, that wasn’t a surprise
Another day of BBC News being camped out in front of the Commons. Another day of the studio based presenters passing time by playing UNO after the bleeding obvious happened after yesterdays weak performance from the Speaker in the Commons.
The was no way he could have continued and his departuature should surprise no-one. The news [...]
The Speaker of The Commons
It occurred to me as I watched the events in the commons that it was all over for the current Speaker, Michael Martin. I’m just not sure he realised it.
I don’t see how you can lead and manage the Commons, when it became quite obvious, the Commons had lost all respect in him. I’m not [...]
Eurovision Review
So, there we go – the UK did quite well. Norton was certainly acceptable as the “voice-over” man. The Russians did some bizarre and strange half time act with no apparant regard for any health and safety law and Norway won with an insipid song.
That really sums up the evening.
What made the evening more interesting [...]
