A couple of days ago I wrote up my thoughts on the new London Lite free afternoon newspaper, including its mis-use (and overuse) of the word ‘blog’. Today, London Lite competed side-by-side with thelondonpaper, the rival Murdoch-backed London afternoon freesheet that London Lite was launched to ‘spoil’, for the first time. Outside Victoria station, the [...]
Spotted at Victoria Station…
I’ve raved about The Mighty Boosh before on my blog, after catching their second series on BBC Three. Well, since then I’ve bought series one on DVD, and last Thursday went to see them live at the Brixton Academy. I’d somehow never managed to see a gig at the Brixton Academy before, despite seeing a [...]

The Mayor’s new One London states: “Londoners will not be divided by acts of terrorism. Seven million Londoners, one London. Show [...]
Over the last fortnight, I’ve been really busy with receiving all the entries for the Student Radio Awards, which are a pretty big deal within student radio.
