“I hope that you’re ready / As I have the intellect to know that the internet is going to kill the telly” (Charlie Sloth – Tim Westwood Freestyle)

Takeaway:

Will the internet kill the telly? I doubt it but to ignore it would be silly. When I say ignore, I don’t mean awareness,  I mean not doing anything about it. We are definitely seeing a shift with individuals/brands priorities on which medium to concentrate their efforts of promotion, research and entertainment on. As access to the internet has become easier, this will ...

It all goes down to Facebook credits. If you don’t know what Facebook credits are then it is a virtual currency you can get from Facebook that allows you to buy stuff within Facebook, mainly being used in games like Farmville or The Sims. The more credit you buy, the more you can do/buy/exchange etc. ...

My mum HATES most of the music I listen to, so I wasn’t surprised she said this within 30 seconds of getting in my car.

Since I went to New York in the summer of 1989, I have been fascinated with Hip Hop music and the culture. I remember listening to cassette tapes of one of my all time favourite rappers, Big Daddy Kane, and whenever he swore, I would turn the music down so no one could hear. However, when I used to “rebel” ...

For many of us the idea of going to the gym everyday can be daunting…but the idea of staying fit is something that we all want to do.

Sometimes going to the gym can be problematic for us: long busy days, not near a gym, slight injury, knowing when to eat as not good to exercise on a full or empty stomach etc etc. One of my goals is to improve my heart rate so a few weeks ago I asked myself;

“How can I ...

He sounded so compelling, exciting and inspirational that I wanted in. Throughout that seminar, I heard a lot of people speak about their jobs, how we could do it too and potential steps to take. I listened carefully, took loads of notes and put them into action.

10 years later I found myself on a panel in Rotterdam talking to a hungry audience who wanted to ...

I was in a coffee shop with one of my best friends yesterday, when 2 ladies sat down on the table opposite and started talking in Spanish. Whenever I hear someone speaking Spanish and it upsets me because it is a language I’ve always wanted to learn. My dad speak it fluently, my 3 years old nephew is saying words in this dialect I don’t understand, and I think being able to switch between languages is pretty cool.

I have 2 problems:

The list goes on and on.

They had to do the “Bolero” dance by Torvill & Dean and he said that every skater has studied this as a child growing up and that it was iconic.

It got me thinking about other sports and if I was a child, what would I want to watch and study to be a better sportsman in that particular sport. Here were my answers for my 3 favourite ...
