Tomorrow's Times
Congratulations to
Oliver Kamm, who from tomorrow is going to write some of the leader columns in The Times. It's a far cry from where he began his 'old media' career, as the Noam Chomsky Affairs
columnist on Frontpage magazine, and a vindication of the power of blogging, a subject I know he has been very forthright on.
This also allows us the chance of a game - '
Guess the Oliver Kamm leader'. I believe there are three a day on the Times, and I presume Oliver won't write all of them. So from Tuesday we'll have a go - if it's about Noam Chomsky we'll start on Wednesday. The prize, now Mick's album is on every Daily Mail reader's CD shelf, is a copy of John Lloyd's great work, 'W
hat the Media is doing to our Politics'.

The End of an Era
I imagine some of my readers are already sleeping outside a Camden newsagents to make sure they are first in line, but for those not so up to speed with modern music trends prepare yourselves for a momentous announcement:
Stars is considered by many to be Simply Red's finest album and next week The Mail on Sunday is giving it away absolutely free.

Obviously in one sense I am upset - no-one will enter my competitions any more.
[A big shout out to J.D for alerting me to this event of historical significance]

Facebook II
Thank you very much to all the people who have signed up as one of my Facebook friends [1]. As an spur to those of you who are still wavering (I calculate only 66.666% of my readers have signed up) I announce a incentivization scheme. If you sign up as one of my Facebook friends in the next 28 days I will enter you for a prize draw to win a copy of
Stars, by Simply Red. No strings attached and the chance of winning is going to be at least 1/3rd [1].
[1] Those loyal Friends (I think the capital is justified) who signed up without this incentive will be pleased to know I am gong to exclude them from the draw.
