Stapler enjoys a bit of Wham!

November 23, 2009

Stapler is still a bit star struck this morning after a very exciting Saturday night at the filming of X-Factor. Stapler watched SuBo give a powerful rendition of ‘Wild Horses,’ sat opposite a very glamourous looking Joan Collins and met all the contestants and their families in the bar after the show.
Stapler arrives at Fountain [...]

Cheating

November 20, 2009

How do you react to Thierry Henry’s obvious handball (x2) against Ireland in the World Cup qualifier last night? The British and Irish media are (understandably?) hysterical, the French are embarrassed and FIFA are not going to win whatever they say. There are mashups galore on the subject. Some suggest Henry’s marketability will [...]

Slide tackling Thierry Henry…

November 20, 2009

…or rather, sidewikiing him.
Clearly Thierry Henry’s “main de Dieu” incident on Wednesday night has caused something of a furore. Irish football fans are naturally up in arms and feel that the match should be replayed (ummm, not going to happen). Football fans around the world are massively disappointed in Henry. Well, except for Gooners, obviously [...]

November 19, 2009

It is fair to say that the question is often raised: Why the pheasant?  And why naked?

Don’t Trust the Talking Wallpaper

November 19, 2009

Since time immemorial we have trusted our televisions implicitly.  We’ve given the magical little box pride of place in the heart of our family homes, letting it pump out little bits of information/ celebratory dirge/ David Attenborough masterpieces (delete where appropriate) on a daily basis.   The American’s trusted the calming tones of Edward R Murrow [...]

November 18, 2009

Another year passed.  How the devil did that happen?  Mobile World Congress only seems like yesterday, yet here we are gearing up for the next one and simultaneously working out where to hang the stockings this Christmas. As far as I can tell – apart from the obvious  – (e.g time with family, presents to [...]

Phone Furore

November 18, 2009

The UK’s information commissioner confirmed reports yesterday of the loss of millions of customer records containing sensitive data.
This incident, one of an increasing list of digital faux pas, will no doubt be quickly overshadowed by other more pressing and global concerns and a ‘this is an industry problem’ statement which it clearly is. It does, [...]

What Lucy’s Stapler did next

November 18, 2009

from @WillOConnor
UK Tech-Wunderkind and R’n’B fanatic Lucy Davies is out and about on a much needed slice of vacation at the moment. Rather than continue my nomadic, deskless journey around the hotdesks of London, she kindly agreed to let me use her seat for the week.

Almost 60,000 attendees, 2500 media and a press office the size of half a football pitch…just how do you get your message across at the now (in)famous Mobile World Congress held every February in Barcelona?
Well its simple isn’t it:
