It's a castle, boyo, but not in the sky
I’m off to the “adults only” Warner Leisure hotel at Bodelwyddan Castle tomorrow until Wednesday: I’m sure TB will keep you nicely informed with the latest goings on. But I thought I’d let you know that Live In Blackpool’s new citizen journalism portal has – in the last half an hour – just opened.
Hi, my name is Ron Bell
I can’t believe I missed this video which came out about a week ago.
It’s seriously lacking views so I thought I’d do Ron the massive favour (don’t worry Ron, I’m not asking for donations) of giving him some exposure.
I know I have criticized Ron in the past due to his financial associations and that he’s been very very quiet on just about everything, but at least he is now making an effort to build some momentum with his campaign, and I applaud that.
July-September
“I love this town.” - Phil “The Power” Taylor
The start of July saw Blackpool’s Opera House announced as the 2009 venue for the Royal Variety Performance. The show would be in December. We also saw Labour crushed in the European elections as the British National Party secured two seats in the European Parliament. Their victory rally would be held in Blackpool a few weeks later prompting an invasion of Unite Against Fascism.
I’ve spoken in the past about Gordon Brown’s so called Digital Britain, which to summarise briefly is a collection of legislative powers that will be implemented with the intention of reducing file sharing on the internet.
Despite the Digital Britain report being authored by Lord Carter it is The Prince of Darkness, Lord Mandelson, that is the driving force behind the new Digital Economy Bill. Never one to turn a blind eye to cash, twice-sacked Handy Mandy is pushing hard to keep his mega-rich media mogul friends happy by promising a legislative blitz upon file sharers.
This is a continuation of my previous trials and tribulations with Virgin Media’s business arm in relation to a simple query.
I spoke to a bird called Gemma at Virgin Media a month ago and based on the fact we’d been paying £100 per month too much on our contract with them for 4 or 5 years she agreed to give us a discount on future bills. She promised to send a contract through which we were to sign, and then we’d be saving this £100 a month. Great.
