I’ve been a bit lax about the blog this week – I was out of the office at the beginning of the week, struck down by the lurgy. Still, no excuse really. And today is my last day in the office before Christmas. I’m taking some extra time in the New Year, so won’t beContinue reading “Slip sliding away”

Local hero(es)
I attended an interesting meeting this morning at the Westminster Media Forum, on the future of local media. I missed the beginning, and am not sure what the rules it was done under, so won’t go into too much detail about who said what. But it was extremely interesting. It focused on issues of deliveryContinue reading “Local hero(es)”
Music is my radar
I got tickets for the Blur gig in July – yippee! One of the benefits of being an O2 customer – you get priority bookings for gigs at the O2, or ones they are involved in. It’s how I got Metallica tickets for March, which I’m going to with my brother – ROCK! I hadContinue reading “Music is my radar”
You take me up
Reading through This Week, I saw the most hilarious present, for the person who has everything (including a hamster): a little car operated by ham-power. Now, how can that not put a smile on your face! I reckon it belongs on one of my favourite websites Cute Overload, with pictures of, well, cute things. It’sContinue reading “You take me up”
Driving away from home
Great article by Philip Stephens in today’s FT on the euro. There’s been a lot of hysteria in the press, particularly the bits that don’t like the EU much, but this was a good balanced piece. I don’t think anyone wants the UK to join tomorrow (frankly, it doesn’t meet the criteria), but surely rulingContinue reading “Driving away from home”
Turn out the light
Funny thing about writing a blog…I didn’t write on Friday because it was so quiet, and then today I’ve only now got round to writing because it’s finally quietened down. It’s a real case of finding the fine line between having something to say AND the time to write about it! Today has been soContinue reading “Turn out the light”
Christmas is coming…
Isn’t it just. I suppose now that it is actually December it’s allowed, but it does seem to have snuck up a bit – where did November go?! Anyway, here’s a little bit of Christmas cheer from the London rep: showcasing the best in young film talent from around the EU, an interactive advent calendar.Continue reading “Christmas is coming…”
Melamine – new measures taken
The Commission will take measures to ban the import from China of food for infants and young children containing soya and soya products, after high levels of melamine were recently found in Chinese soy bean meal. Competent authorities in the Member States will have to test all other feed and food containing soya and soyaContinue reading “Melamine – new measures taken”
Back in the saddle
It’s been a bit quiet because I was away on holiday for a week, up in the Pyrenees mountains, far (mentally if not physically) from internet connections and the world of work. I had a busy couple of days before I left, which included a breakfast meeting (I was one of many there!) with RobertContinue reading “Back in the saddle”
Calling all bloggers
Are you writing about European issues, or interested in doing so? The European Journalism Centre is running a competition to get 3 bloggers from each EU Member State to write during the European election campaign. Each participant will post at least once a month (February 1 – June 9, 2009) on the TH!NK ABOUT ITContinue reading “Calling all bloggers”
