Doctor, Doctor...
Tis written, but its not due out until Tuesday [because my Webmaster is unlikely to stir his aching head until then!]. All words at present - pics come along Sunday/Monday alcohol permitting.
Ah! The wages of my sins?
I think you need to take a eyes open look at the advertising rates, count the adverts and deduct a flight to Dubai...
Some people do do things for love - it removes the problem that some wage earners have about what they write and how they write it.
I guess I should not have slagged off the journo that wrote the Mirror item ... honour among thieves and all that ... but I am gamekeeper turned poacher and I still like the gamekeepers even if I turn up the heat a bit sometimes! Lots of fingers blistered out there. But then I started my craft whilst a gamekeeper and I was just as 'bad' in those days... well it was pretty safe the pension was not far away!
Yes a greater numbers of readers is important but that is only because I do not want my baby to stagnate into wallpaper. Your boiling blood proves it has not yet done that!
And I passed a massive phew!!! just this morning in captioning an apparently unimportant image [it is Christmas after all and everyone is away] but fortunately I picked up the phone and they were in... so I think I got away without a silly bloomer again this month ... we will see.
That tome you hate was never intended to be more than a monthly digest of stories from around the World so most of it is just that. Strangely enough I have no reporter in Blackpool this week, and most of it can be read in full on that other UK based daily digest I guess you subscribe to.
I was doing a story on one of the pilots in the crash [ex-HEMS], reading and editing all the items, chasing a non-copyright image [I got use of the copyright image the cops were giving away... 'cept I got permission from the owner, useful that!], when I tripped over the Mirror item and it just made my blood boil - I guess you know the effect all too well!
In theory to fit in with what I am supposed to do all I needed to do was precis the Mirror story..... ugh!
Now where were we....!!!
