PR and advice on getting into it, the occasional rant about political communications and some other bits
- The top 5 paragraphs of all time… ever….
I forget sometimes that the reason I first went into PR was because I had the idea stuck in my head that I was a half decent writer. I didn’t know what PR was, but I didn’t have time to train as a journalist and I wanted to write so I became a PR. Recently, [...]
- Why we let the BNP in
In the run up to the elections, a well heeled stampede of worthy liberals charged out of parliament and left the door wide open for the BNP.
Perhaps a better way to put it is to say this, if you ostracise someone from a system, then trash the system, don’t be surprised if some people start [...]
- Cameron should pat brown on the head and move on…
Just seen this post over on Stuart Bruce’s blog in which he touches on the continuing row over McBride-gate (or is it email-gate? Surely it’s a gate by now.)
I agree with Stuart when he says the row has on on too long, in fact I thought it had gone on too long by Tuesday and [...]
- Things not to do if you want a job…
As a growing consultancy, we get quite a few graduate applications and, for my sins, I’m the recipient of some of the generic email addresses, which means I get first eyes on a lot of the job applications that come our way.

I don’t want to be a Vampire / Werewolf / Pirate / Space Ninja Cowboy Robot Alien (well, not unless I actually get the space ship that goes with it.) I don’t want to get e-kissed or rated or compare my movie knowledge. I don’t [...]
- Well that’s PR for you…
At Waterside we’re all on our way to Newcastle for our Christmas party. We’re going today because it is the last free date in our collective diaries before christmas.
PR really is the most ridiculous profession
- Who should I be reading?
I’ve been blogging quite lightly over the last few months - mainly due to a lack of time and, whilst that’s not really a problem, (I can always just start writing right?,) what is a problem is that I haven’t been reading a lot either. Quite a few people have literally dropped off the radar [...]
