Ian Green: October 2013

http://greengathering.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

New book from my mate Joe Moorwood. Congratulations to my old colleague Joe Moorwood who has just had his first book published. Joe, a former account manager with GREEN and now a fire fighter in South Yorkshire, wrote The Yorkshire Meaning of Liff. 8220;Joe first wrote to me earlier this year, after hearing an appeal on Radio 4 for contributions to a programme called The Meaning of Liff At 30. Designed to mark three decades in print of a book I wrote with Douglas Adams in 1983, listeners were invited...

Set the world at nought: April 2011

http://settheworldatnought.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Set the world at nought. Wednesday, 27 April 2011. A Fresh Look at Creativity. This story begins with a young man, quite an ordinary, unremarkable man. And it’s all true. Brought up in a large family, the eldest of five. The most interesting thing about him is that his father has an interest in local politics. He grew up in the same town as me – a small market town and again quite unremarkable. Here it is – this is where he spent all of his early years. Not much else to do growing up here. And it wasn&#8...

Set the world at nought: May 2011

Set the world at nought. Friday, 27 May 2011. Why injunctions are an outdated solution. I doubt many people in the country are really that interested in the love life of Ryan Giggs particularly if you consider the the personal issues faced by many of his team mates and peers in the premier league. Parodied the fact that it is hardly an earth shattering news story. Like cats, curiosity is something most people have as a nagging urge in the back of their mind. Who was it and why keep it secret? Many compan...

Set the world at nought: March 2011

http://settheworldatnought.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Set the world at nought. Friday, 4 March 2011. Statistics that make you shudder. Sometimes you see something in the press and you think:”that can’t be right”. Apparently 58% of mobile operators think that SMS and MMS advertising will grow massively in the next few years. I started working on MMS and SMS information products around eight years ago. Either the advertising industry is very slow or this seems a ridiculous statement. But a mobile phone is also something personal. Money is spent personalis...

Set the world at nought: The folklore of black dogs in Yorkshire

http://settheworldatnought.blogspot.com/2011/10/problem-with-halloween-is.html

Set the world at nought. Monday, 31 October 2011. The folklore of black dogs in Yorkshire. The problem with Hallowe’en is the Americanisation of an ancient festival. What we fear nowadays has more to do with Hollywood. Forget the Vampires, the werewolves, Frankenstien’s monster, and the return of the mummy. The forgotten history of the West Riding holds much more frightening things:. But it seems to have Germanic origins - linked to Odin, the leader of the Wild Hunt a lone hunter tracking down a lady of ...

Set the world at nought: February 2011

http://settheworldatnought.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Set the world at nought. Monday, 14 February 2011. A Farewell to Screen Yorkshire and inward investment? The problem with cuts is they just remove expenditure. To reduce debt, you have to do a whole lot more than cut costs. In fact, cutting costs can result in further problems down the line. The end of Yorkshire Forward would always see a number of the regional development organisations biting the dust – but at what costs? The investment from Screen Yorkshire last year was £5 million. Not all the filming...

Ian Green: RIP: Liverpool Daily Post

http://greengathering.blogspot.com/2013/12/rip-liverpool-daily-post.html

RIP: Liverpool Daily Post. Today the last edition of the Liverpool Daily Post. After 158 years – it’s a very sad day for regional journalism. The Daily Post, a pioneering newspaper that challenged the decision makers of the city and Merseyside, was my first newspaper where I worked for a while on the subs’ bench for the business desk. Since then I have worked on a number of regional newspapers as well as a spell on Fleet Street. 15 regionals saw a fall in circulation in excess of 20 percent. 40 saw a ris...

Ian Green: Another grand day out at Bradford Sprint Regatta

http://greengathering.blogspot.com/2014/07/another-grand-day-out-at-bradford.html

Another grand day out at Bradford Sprint Regatta. Hundreds of competitors and spectators from rowing clubs across the north of England descended on this year’s Bradford Sprint Regatta organised by Bradford Amateur Rowing Club (BARC), at Hirst Weir, Shipley. The 600 metre course, down a gently curving River Aire, is a popular splash-and-dash sprint regatta which attracted crews from across the North including Mersey, Tees, York City, Ancholme, Sheffield and Doncaster. Charles said: “That was a hard ...
