Russell Howard Dingledodies at the WMC

27 November, 2008 by amydavies


Following my poor foray into music reviewing last week after the Paul Weller gig , I thought I might as well throw my hat into the ring and review comedy as well, starting with the Russell Howard, weirdly named Dingledodies gig I went to last night. For me, comedy just tips it on my list of favourite things, so it may well be that I perform better at this task than the music reviewing. Taking place at the plush Millennium Centre […]

These old law books won't tell us the answer...

Why the internet makes an ass out of the law

26 November, 2008 by amydavies


Shane Richmond , communities editor for The Telegraph made some interesting points in a recent lecture on online journalism regarding the law. My experience of media law has to date included a module for my BA in Journalism and the module I do now for my postgrad diploma. I’ve never been sued, and I’m hoping that, until the day I get employed by some hotshot magazine which has the weight behind it to fend off such things, I won’t be. […]

No-where near manly enough

Save the environment: make Tesco “Natural Bags” for men

24 November, 2008 by amydavies


Why do they only make those hessian Tesco bags with nice little pictures of flowers and ladybirds on? If you’re a man, how are you supposed to hold your head up high in the masculinity stakes walking around with one of those. It’s just not very cool is it. It’s probably bad enough that you’ve shown a weakness for saving the environment in the first place, but you’re never going to pull a chick at the checkout with ladybirds wandering across […]

Crowd at Paul Weller

That’s Entertainment via the Modfather Paul Weller

21 November, 2008 by amydavies


I don’t normally do reviews (and this won’t really be one either), but I thought I’d broaden my horizons and tell all of you, my lucky readers about an experience I had last night at the Cardiff International Arena. Last week my housemate twisted my arm into going to see Paul Weller . I reluctantly agreed on the premiss that I’m a good friend and it’s something to do isn’t it. I’m not frightened to admit that I didn’t really […]

Some Questions Can't Be Answered By Google

Stuck In The Middle With Google

19 November, 2008 by amydavies


But do any of these questions matter? Doubtful. Well you know, we all want to change the world…. Oh hang on, Google actually has. Anthony Mayfield , another one of those heads of social media, but this time at iCrossing  pointed out this week in an online journalism lecture at Cardiff University that we are in the middle of a revolution.   Did you know?   Well, if you didn’t that’s alright because apparently people rarely know all this crazy […]

(Blog) Sermon on the Mount

10 November, 2008 by amydavies


My most successful day as author of this blog was Wednesday 22nd October 2008 on which I had the grand total of 58 hits. One can’t help but be slightly disappointed by this seemingly low number, inevitably when you’re putting the world to rights in your very own webspace you imagine that the great and the good are descending on your page and agreeing with your every sentiment. Therefore less than 60 hits (and that was just the best day […]

My Love Affair With Adverts

5 November, 2008 by amydavies


With the rise of UGC and on demand media then advertising is slowly dwindling. I hear most people screaming with apparent ecstasy at this revelation, but I, and I can’t be the only one would be incredibly sad to see them disappear. Many an hour has been sadly whiled away by perusing the delights of YouTube, and while I can often be found looking at the comedy classics such as this ingenious clip, more often than not I’m looking at […]
