Daily Prompt: It’s a Text, Text, Text, Text World
Well today’s Daily Prompt is about text speak… How do you communicate differently online than in person, if at all? How do you communicate emotion and intent in a purely written medium Well how do I communicate? Well to be perfectly honest, I can’t get my head around all this abbreviating and using the likes of […]
Too young to die
You know there is nothing worse than getting a Google alert of picking up a paper to read another child has committed suicide to bullying. It must be every parent’s worst nightmare, especially if they know their child is being bullied and there is nothing they can do to stop it. They have been to the school, […]
2012 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 2,700 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 5 years to get […]
Was it worth it????
The last figure quoted for the costs of the Leveson-Inquiry-costs-July-2011-to-June-2012.. and I doubt if this is the final figure. When all the costs are added together I suspect they will total closer to the £5 million mark. Yesterday David Cameron gave this speech to the House of Commons:
Anthony John Stuart Bennett
Back in November 2007, I came into contact with a man from Harlow named Anthony John Stuart Bennett, at first I thought this man could be sincere and wanted to do all he could to help protect children.

There you are going about your life, going to work, doing things that millions of people do daily, even to the point of signing up to Facebook and uploading your picture, when all hell breaks lose and you end up having to flee the country you live in. Just imagine one day waking up to […]
Twitter/Facebook – in the dock
One thing that Twitter is good for and that is getting the message out there. If someone is missing then Twitter is ideal for sending appeals out, with photographs, so people can look for a missing person. It is good for current breaking news. But Twitter, like Facebook, have a very dark side to them, […]
Tragic Words
Can you imagine the pain a mother goes through when her child dies? It must be the worst pain ever imaginable that’s inflicted on a person and there is nothing you can do about it. When a child dies and it is through illness or a tragic accident there seems to be a reason for […]
CPS to look at online harassment
According to a blog post today from CPS have decided not to prosecute the person for making an offensive tweet, with regards to a communication on twitter in relation to Tom Daley and Peter Waterfield. One thing that I found interesting is this paragraph:
To spoof or not to spoof..
That is the question. I am on Twitter and sometimes some of the spoof accounts are quite funny. We have the Pope, The Queen, Prince Charles and many, many more. Sometimes I sit and chuckle at the humour of these people behind these accounts, and I don’t pay or give much credence to what they […]
The dark side of the internet
Oh yes there is one unfortunately. The powers of the internet are wonderful, no longer do we have to trek out in the rain to pay that Gas Bill, we simply log on to our online banking sites and pay. With a few clicks you have saved yourself a good soaking and the bus fare. When […]
