Stacking Cattle: a blog

December 9th, 2008 by Ian

‘Stacking Cattle’ is the title of a new blog written by a pal of mine. He’s so 2002! He’s going to be using terms like ‘blogosphere’ and ‘multi-faceted media node’. Anyway he’s funnier than me (at least online) and recent subjects include comedians, inappropriate links to lemonparty and racist S60 applications. I’d suggest taking a look, if only because it keeps him off the streets.

G8 Leaders devoid of sense of irony

July 8th, 2008 by Ian

In the same week that Gordon Brown tells us not to waste food, we learn of the massive piles of food being served at the G8 sumit. This year apparently they’re focusing on the food shortage crisis. Surely some PR guy somewhere would have said to one of the leaders, “Hang on guys, this isn’t a great idea”

For me it ranks alongside Kanye West performing at a ‘Make Poverty History’ show a couple of years ago wearing several kilogrammes of golden jewelery. I’m sure everyone is trying to help out, but they come away looking like they’re just rubbing peoples face in it. Sigh. I’m off to go break-dance in front of some kids in wheelchairs.
