The Internet is for life, not just for Christmas…

February 18, 2010

I had a heated debate at the weekend with my daughter who was trying to tell me that a tattoo would be cool and nobody would ever see it and even if they did it was her decision anyway!

Well as any parent would I told her about all of the reasons for not having a tattoo. My central argument was based on how it would look when she was a seventy year old grandmother; I told her it might actually look cool on her now, but would it look cool on Nanny?

This made me think about the Internet and social media in general, obviously pr2go are big fans, we use this media every day and it's a great form of PR, however we should personally be careful what we put online about ourselves. Remember that everything that goes on stays on forever. A twenty year old that puts a photo of themselves over indulging on a night out on the town could find themselves with a great deal to explain in five years time when a future employers looks at it or even in twenty years time when their sixteen y...

Forecasters scared to forecast…has the world gone mad?

January 19, 2010

OK so the Met Office has got it wrong a few times recently...the now notorious 'Barbecue Summer' press release is a fine example. We were promised a hot summer and a mild winter, neither of which really happened (though there were warm spells last summer and there has been the odd mild day of late!), but long-term forecasting cannot be simple and at a time when global warming is having an effect on the elements there is no pattern for forecasters to follow.
But now it seems the Met Office is getting so much criticism for it's poor predictions that it is questioning whether it should continue to publish long-term and seasonal forecasts.
Some scientists believe the organisation needs to analyse why there is always a bias towards higher temperatures. That one's easy though...no one wants to hear that it is going to be cold! What needs to be answered is why the forecasters are held responsible for the weather...they only predict it they don't actually make it!
If the Met...

My view - pr2snow

January 08, 2010

OK it is officially cold in UK Plc. 

A couple of weeks ago I was watching the local and national news and time after time heard people saying, 'its pathetic a few drops of snow and the whole country comes to a standstill'.

Well after two weeks of freezing temperatures, with the government having to ration salt and gas suppliers and Google Earth producing NASA photos of the whole country being white (which was just a little apocalyptic), finally those who were complaining about UK Plc are either snowed in, lost their voice or frozen to death.

 


Happily this kind of situation always brings out the best in us Brits, from neighbours actually looking after each other, to pubs becoming soup kitchens and once again taking their rightful place at the centre of the community. Even simple things like pushing cars out of the snow or bonding with other car users wh...
