Off to London
Posted Friday, April 7, 2006 at 10:11pm in Blogging, Off topic, PR General |
Depending on my accommodation being internet connected, things will get a little quiet around here for three weeks as I’m off to London, or LEWIS PR to be exact, for my internship.
Flight leaves tomorrow lunch time, and like always, I’ve packed far too many items. I just know the guy/gal at the check-in desk is going to slap a fine on me. Sometimes you can get away without paying if you tell them you’re never ever coming back. Honest, sometimes they believe you and let your luggage straight through.
Really looking forward to it. Meeting up with some Cyprus buddies too, so that should be good. I’m also planning to be a weekend tourist and see the sights… well, it would be rude not to. I just know the Tube and I won’t see eye-to-eye. I’ve got the Sting song, Englishman in New York playing in my head, but my version is ‘Geordie in London’. Heh!
Coincidentally, this is my 300th post and it will be my blog’s first birthday on April 20. Aaah, hasn’t it grown? They grow up so fast these days don’t they?
Anyway, enough of my self-absorbedness and on to give you, dear reader (hi mam), something of value.
As mentioned last week, the new communications magazine, CorpComms asked me if I would like to receive some back issues to which I replied yes. Never being one to turn down a freebie, I received them today and have to say the content looks impressive. The design looks great too. A lot different from PR Week and PR Business.
But if I’m totally honest, I haven’t had a chance to read them (I will on the plane tomorrow) but I believe Simon Collister will be reviewing it soon.
It would be great if poor students (ahem) did receive future copies (ahem) so he/they could get a good grasp of the magazine (ahem) and its content. No doubt it would help with his/their studies and beyond? 
Like Baby Shambles? Killamangiro?

Hi Stephen,
Good luck with the internship. Am sure you will enjoy it and hope you find it valuable.
I’d hoped to swing by but am afraid my schedule has changed, so I won’t be in the UK office this trip.
Next time perhaps. Let me know if you need anything.

Best of luck with the internship, Stephen. But when àre you going to see the light when it comes to Pete Doherty? ;-D

Thanks Serge
Re Doherty. It’s all about the music… all about the music. (said it twice for effect)

Hi Stephen
Good luck and enjoy the placement!
Kilamangiro is a great track, but the rest of the albums a bit ropey, although it hurts me to admit that. Like the sound of Carlos’s DPT though… let’s keep our post-Libs fingers crossed!
As for Corpcomms, I had planned to review but I still have three unread copies on my desk alongside a pile of other mags! I will get around to it… honest. I tried to blag a subscription to The Economist as well last week. I failed.

I should have sent you and Simon only one issue. There’s so much to read, I can imagine that three back issues must be a bit daunting
The latest issue comes back from the printers today. I’ll pop a copy to the both of you.
Good luck with the internship
