Where journalists have greatness thrust upon them
... this is worrying.
Ian Collins, who presents the late show on talkSPORT and managed to get the creator of the Raoul Moat tribute group on Facebook to take part in an interview live on air. (Scroll down slightly for the media player)
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Robert Dee was officially crowned the worst pro tennis player in the world after a run of 54 straight-set loses. He decided to sue for defamtion claiming it harmed his reputation... weird.
Stephen Adams of the Telegraph, points out the risk to newspapers if they stand up to these 'conditional fee agreements', otherwise known as 'no win, no fee' claims.
I ventured into the blogs and opinion section on the Sky Sports website this morning (which is something I hardly ever do) and found this blog on Paul Scholes. There has been a lot of press surrounding Scholes since his last-gasp winner against Manchester City on Saturday.
I appreciate it isn't everyone's cup of tea but if you are a Man Utd fan, a Paul Scholes fan or just a football fan, you might enjoy it.
Not my words but the words of Ian Dunt for politics.co.uk.
He talks about the Times Online's decision to implement a pay wall in June by charging £1 per day or £2 a week for their content. He also discusses the possibility of the Indie becoming free by the end of the year.
I like his view that journalism shouldn't go down the road of being fully funded by advertising and become free to consumers:
I suppose if you want to try and engage that tricky demographic of 18-20 year old males, then having a director of hardcore porn films standing in an election is probably the way to go.
That's what the Liberal Democrats in Gravesham have done. Anna Arrowsmith managing director of adult film company, Easy on the Eye will be tasked with taking on current Gravesham MP, Adam Holloway for his parliamentary seat in this year's election.
You can always tell when a major football tournament is around the corner when there is a massive drama surrounding the availability to a key England player.
Just to clarify that I am not talking nonsense and that there is, in fact, a curse on us, here are some are the biggest storylines to appear in this soap opera that has haunted England in the last 10 years:
2002:
Many moons ago, during the period when I worked night shifts in my unintended 2-year break from education, I used to fill my mornings with a spot of dog walking.
So, between the hours of say, 11:00 and 13:00 each day, I would listen to my portable DAB radio and have it tuned into my favourite station, TalkSPORT. Consequently, this would mean listening to a certain Jon Gaunt, a bit of a big mouth that engaged in 'fierce debates' about the issues of the day.
These are seven words that are always certain to grab my attention.
Apologies in advance but this is just me blogging about something I am excited about seeing.
I took James' advice and saw Avatar on the biggest screen I could find, so naturally, I went to the IMAX in Greenwich.
Yes, Avatar is a nice film, very vivid and colourful and it is a really well made sci-fi with nifty 3D. Although, if it wasn't for the 3D stuff, I don't think it would stand up that next to the best the genre has to offer, which is where it seems to have found itself.
But before the film had even started my excitement about seeing Avatar was swiftly snatched away and directed immediately towards one of the trailers.
