Park Life

The Last of England is on at the Metropolis tomorrow night. I even made Mrs P cancel her basketball. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093393/

That Live Aid type thing for the G8 a couple of years ago (I forget the title) was a classic - the tickets were free but there was a huge fuck off VIP area in front of the stage just for corporate guests. You mean Bono hasn't given all his money away to help starving people. What happened to that red credit card thing?

I ain't getting into that today.

I guess what I meant was they have excess capital with which they buy things. But I agree, Tiffany needs a kick in the crutch.

He is coming over badly in this thread granted.

Thank you.

Everyone here would probably say their dream job as a bairn was to be a footballer, but you need so much luck, focus and dedication. It isn't all about talent, I bet there are people in this forum with more natural ability than some professional footballers, you just need everything to click in to place, not just in football but in any job where there are infinitely fewer opportunities than people willing to do it. My ambition was to be a journalist of sorts, I don't think that could ever happen now, I'd need to go and get a degree for one, and fuck that, but good luck in whatever dream you chase. You don't need a degree. Apart from footie what would you like to write about or have some degree of knowledge about? You needed a media qualification I know that for an absolute nailed on fact, certainly to get a job at Thomson House. Football would be what I would like to write about, or be a travel reporter, I'm not as well travelled as the likes of that cunt on here who's old forget his name, you know who I mean, but who is, I've been about a bit though. I'd be a good news reporter for a trashy paper as well, who need sensationalist stories for non-events. NCTJ qualifications are more important than a degree nowadays but the courses cost upwards of £1000 if I remember correctly. Trouble is even if you have the time and money to do the course the chances of you getting a job in journalism at the minute are slim. All you need is an aptitude for discursive writing and some will power, the rest is cobblers. How I wish that was true I'm living proof. It was possible in the past. I know Jez Robinson, the bloke behind ALS, he basically started off the fanzine with no prior writing experience and ended up working for the local and national press. Nowadays though because jobs are so thin on the ground you need to be well qualified or related to someone with their foot already in the door. I've now done 3 corporate books and working on my 4th, I have no kind of writing qualification whatsoever. Aye, but that's a completely different kettle of fish to working for a newspaper or magazine. I have written for at least a half dozen mags. Was it paid work? I don't do it for fun. I mean was it for a prolonged period. Was it technically your 'job'? Yes.

Stevie if you want to write, then write. Look for stories and send sample articles to whoever takes your fancy. If you send me one I can help you.

All this writing for money is holding up the novel.

Jesus, I never realised the bullshit of our professional lives was quite so closely linked.

I've now done 3 corporate books and working on my 4th, I have no kind of writing qualification whatsoever. What's a corporate book ? A company annual if you like. Normally with high design values (hardback) and telling the story of where a company is, where it came from and where it wants to go. Companies add this kind of output to their profile footprints and use it to engage new client bases or keep the current client base informed of its developing values and ideation.

I imagine you have quite a gift for making those boring papers semi-interesting.

Well that'd certainly fit with the rest of East London. A return to a sense of scale would be nice after the excesses of Beijing. Then again, I imagine the organisers are so paranoid about being seen to have "failed" that they won't entertain the prospect unless it becomes a financial necessity. We should cancel it. How will the aliens know where to land? Now you see the plan.

Paper cups and string.

Yes, yes but how does that affect J69 ffs? He's not called Joe. Are you sure the 'J' doesn't stand for Joe? Aye, Joe 90. A right specky cunt.
