PR campaign to smile at :-)

I love TK Maxx’s PR campaign which was located at their New Kensington store this morning. Shoppers were greeted by people chained to railings shouting “Set Big Brands Free” what a great idea! As this is the first central London store there was a lot of hoo-ha to whether a shop like this should be in central London, I mean come on the biggest Primark I have ever seen is metres away from Selfridges, give them some slack.

Dissertation distress.....Alcohol in need

I’m still in two minds (more like 20) with what dissertation title to choose. Throughout life we are put in various situations where we need to make a choice, what university, what house are you going to buy, what career, what job, the list is endless. Like so many I’m not the best when it comes to decision making. It’s not that im indecisive, it’s usually because I like more than one of the choices and would prefer two of the outcomes rather than one– a little greedy some may say.

So I have spent the last couple of days on my dining room table with books, photocopies, old essays, uni folders and a blank notebook in front of me (the only thing which has remained untouched). With the clock ticking and days disappearing into thin air, I’m starting to get a bit panicky as what to write about, with many ideas zooming through my mind I think its just time to put the research down and crack open a bottle of wine. After all, people always “sleep on it!”

Safe, legal adventures with the Venturi Mini


This looks like a very clever piece of technology, it's called the Venturi Mini. It enables users to stream music and phone calls, to be played through the car stereo. All you need to do is plug it into the cigarette lighter and let it send signals to the FM radio. Some mobiles will download their phonebook to the Venturi, so you can scroll through your contacts on the display, allowing calls to be made directly from the set. When you receive a call the music will cut out for the call. It is so easy to install, and for £79.99 i think it is so much easier than any Bluetooth set i have bought in the past.

I'm back...

Hi all, sorry for my slight abandoning to Walk::Proud. I am currently wrapping up my years placement in London. With lots to pass over and to record it has been a bit manic!
