About Me

I write http://timmymc.blogspot.comPeople tend to remember me if they meet me. I tend to have a long memory, so if I first met you before 1999 I probably remember loads of trivial things about you. After that date, 50-50.I did ride a red Vespa but a man in a van knocked me off and wrote the bike off. I used to play a lot of football but my scooter accident put paid to that. I still support Spurs.I'm heavily involved in politics, if you know me, you'll know which side. I work in media research and analysis with lots of PR companies. I want to work in politics. I did a politics degree at Manchester University. I occasionally write about music.I'm a massive extrovert, talk loads and I have lots of stories to tell. I once got run over by a bus, in Brighton.

Choices

The more I hear of "Dave" on the radio the more he confirms my view that the Tories haven't changed their views but have simply changed their media image. Having thought this would be the case when Ca...

Two twenty five a pint!

Reading the business pages as I do daily, I noted that Scottish and Newcastle Brewery's sales had stagnated despite relaxed licensing laws because people are shunning expensive pubs in favour of cheap...
