black screen for me!!

Had the same personal number for 10-11 years, since I first got a phone. I refuse to get rid just in case a dream job wants to get in touch... Got a work blackberry now, but I generally leave that in the house at weekends in order that they remain work free.

He's probably sick of listening to voice mails from Lee Ryder asking whether or not he had an update. Throw him a bone!

It's social food. To be consumed alongside conversation and booze over an extended period. We've basically Anglified (butchered) the Spanish system. I know that man, I've been to Spain you know I did think you were showing an alarmingly non-Alex lack of knowledge in your first post

It's interesting that this comes out on the day that .com claim it'll be another four weeks.

I thought when kinnear was here Viduka thought fuck it I'm not doing any work for that twat. Then Shearer came in and was like, injured you say? right you have to stay later anyways. So Viduka thought he might as well do some work while he was here. Told by someone at the club he wasn't wanted according to a reliable source. Also would probably stay to prove a point if offered a contract. Most likely end up at Fulham. 2 years wasn't long enough for that? The fat fuck can waddle off. Owen got paid £693,333.33 per goal. Viduka got £1,188,571.42 Yet Owen gets all the stick for being a mercenary cunt. It amazes me. Couldn't agree more and I always thought Viduka was a class act on his day (even occasionally during the season just gone). He's absolutely finished though. I wouldn't say finished, but anyone paying him on a none pay-as-you-play basis, wants their heads read.

Three more than we knew about 15 minutes ago.

Whereas the Spanish will order one/two dish(es) at a time repeastedly across the night, we order 10 dishes at once and gorge oursleves until we have to put comfy pants on.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcas...72703-24086316/ Newcastle United receive bids of £100m for club Jul 6 2009 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle DEREK LLAMBIAS has revealed that “more than two bids at £100m” have been received for crisis club Newcastle United. The Toon managing director was spotted showing a Malaysian consortium around St James’s Park and the United training HQ last Thursday. But he remained tight-tipped on the identity of the bidders, with Newcastle and the clutch of interested parties wary of the non-disclosure agreements they signed since the club went up for sale. With the first-team squad now in Dublin at a boot camp, the club contacted the Chronicle today to say that the sale was still “ongoing”, with investment bankers Seymour Pierce in charge of finding a new owner for the Magpies. The Malaysians were mooted to have discussed a bid in excess of £80m in addition to tackling the overdraft at United, thought to be £34m. But Llambias has insisted that the price was never going to be less than £100m. And he told the Chronicle today: “There have been more than two bids at £100m. “At the moment we are in the hands of lawyers and it is all ongoing. “We are giving interested parties all the help that they need.” Another group that appeared to go off the radar after emerging as the first to express an interest are the Singapore-based Profitable Group. Llambias has always been sceptical about the strategic global investment group and initially denied their claims that they wanted to buy the group. But Profitable hit back on their website on June 10, claiming that they were in discussions with Seymour Pierce over the sale. The talk in the capital today was that the group, who have former England man Steve McMahon on board, had put in a bid on Friday. But this claim was dismissed by the club today.

I've done all four: 1 - El Coto 2 - La Vina 3 - El Toro 45 - La Tasca

That maybe so, but I totally agree with the sentiment.

THe Hangover - Puerile but deeply funny. I especially liked that the producers didn't gone for 20-somethings, which somehow made it funnier.

Going to Wembley tomorrow .... to drop the missus off.

I don't know why I read such articles, ultimately I know that it's NUFC and it'll come back and smack me in the face.

The answer is: What's the fun in watching munter tennis. If you want to watch unattractive people playing tennis watch the men, it's much much better. they aren't all munters, watching and listening to Sharapova is alright My point was that the last four weren't exactly oil paintings, therefore not worth watching. Some of the earlier rounds were very worth watching....

I don't remember saying it was foolproof or easy. Just trying to help. What areas do you want to write about/interested in? I'm just remembering another conversation we had a few months back when you effectively said as much Sports reporting and/or feature writing are what i'd eventually like to do but at the minute i'm willing to try my hand at just about anything. If I'm honest I would forget about sports reporting for the time being... More chance of being gang raped by a bus full of playboy bunnies than getting a job in that. Start with news and features and take it from there, a couple of old colleauges (including me) made the move from news in to sport after several years experience. Most of them are now out of a job but that's a different story. Aye, sport always seems to be something you move into rather than start in so i'm ready to do my time on the news desk writing about cowboys builders and cats stuck up trees. It would be nice to be derided on here and other boards for my shoddy NUFC reporting one day though PR is something i'm actively looking to get into too as there seems to be more chance of a job but even they're closing ranks at the minute. Any suggestions? They definitely are. I've got 5 years of very specialised PR experience and I'm not getting interviews for jobs I think I'd have walked in to 18 months ago. Not sure but I reckon you'll struggle for a junior PR position though simply because people coming out of PR courses will be in pole position (and most will have much better tits than you). Don't immediately think local paper, there are thousands of trade magazines. A lass off my course went out to Germany after graduating and edited a trade magazine, decent wedge and a company BMW.

Most of them are now out of a job but that's a different story. Can I be really rude and ask what the pay is like in journalism (in a general sense). I get the impression it is quite poor, is this true? I only know about the radio side but I started on something like £12k and eventually after 4 years it crept up towards 15k. I went for a job interview at a radio station in Ipswich for a job as news editor. Given that it would involve moving down south I asked for 21k, they basically laughed at me and told me that would make me the best paid news editor in the group. Don't get me wrong there are people earning an awful lot more than that but it's a question of how long you can wait before the BBC or a national come knocking. I now work in PR. Cheers, that's pretty much what I would have guessed at. Definitely a career more motivated by job satisfaction than money then. Too right. I loved the job, one day I'd be interviewing the father of a murdered girl, then a girl band, then footballers on a Friday. The problem was that i had to work a second job, so 16-20 hour days were not unusual and even then i was struggling to pay the bills.

A good bit of advice, although it does make paying the bills that little bit more stressful. Get good at networking, most of the people I know have a second string to their bow, be it writing for otheer publications, reporting on foreign stations or doing some freelance PR work.

That's exactly the same result, course and dirty makem poly degree that I have.. We can probably talk at length about how shite the course is then I'm fairly sure that when I did it it was the first year it was ever run. They cobbled together bits of media studies and Media production with a bit of journalism. I have to say that concentrating on the basics of print journlism and getting that spot on would have been infinitely more useful in terms of preparing me for the world of work. Is the job in journalism? Sounds like it hasn't changed a bit It's for a sixth month internship at the Sunderland Echo contributing to a multimedia journalism project they're running. Good luck mate, it's very tough at the moment (there are loads of experienced people out of work) so getting experience like that will be vital. The pay is shit, but the job is great.
