More To Rage Than Giving Cowell A Good Kicking

So, for the first time since Band Aid in 2004, we have a Christmas number 1 that hasn’t been produced from Simon Cowell’s reality TV conveyer belt. Rage Against the Machine sold over half a million downloads of their early nineties hit, if you can call getting to number 25 such a thing, ‘Killing in the Name’. This saw them take the top spot by 50,000 more sales than X-factor winner Joe.



Those in the media that know about such things are calling this one of the biggest shocks in chart… Continue

Diary of an Exercise Phobic

So here's me: self-proclaimed creative-type, administrator, fledgeling project manager for socially inclusive arts workshops and perpetual student. Oh, and exercise-phobic. I've typed this into Google to try and find a trendy sounding name, but so far as I can tell there isn't a catchy phrase to label people who are anxious about exercise. Not that I recommend online diagnosis, that way hypochondria (!) lies, but if you fancy a giggle I do recommend checking out… Continue

Quick Update re The Big Give

So day 1 of The Big Give Christmas Challenge is done.



Just a bit of clarification if you want to donate, or sign up for the London to Cambridge walk. Each day this week the Big Give opens at 10 AM UK time. There is a limit to how much can be matched per day, and once that has been reached then those wishing to donate must wait for the following day. Therefore the nearer to 10 AM you can make a donation the better.…
