If you get a chance to go there on Thursday it could be interesting to find out what this media centre actually does.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-72668831843036113872011-06-22T09:42:45.698+01:002011-06-22T09:42:45.698+01:00Remembering how hard they made it to find the gove...Remembering how hard they made it to find the governance consultation are you surprised that the shopping centre one is equally well camouflaged?Tim Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360638835659673415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-41451764336702385132011-06-22T09:10:52.418+01:002011-06-22T09:10:52.418+01:00Michael,

The most interest recently has been the Dancing Queen and the Meltdown.<br /><br />My fault really as I couldn’t persuade two of the youf of today that watching a lot of old men (anyone over 20) watching aeroplanes was more interesting that dressing up as Victorian.<br /><br />I think my Youtube viewings tell the whole story, one of my Dancing Queen videos had over 1,000 viewings in the 24 hours that the blog post that it was embedded in was on top. <br /><br />I can’t seem to find any videos for this years Big event that have had over 100 viewings.<br /><br />When it comes to pictures and videos I am becoming convinced that readers want to see people they know and not things like aeroplanes where there is professionally made material available. <br /><br />16.36 You could say that these people have made me irritated but not to the point of being vexatious, I have I didn’t get any response from them so have made two official complaints and there will be at least one foi request tomorrow.<br /><br />If I start to feel vexatious I would expect the number of complaints and foi requests in a day to run into double figures.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-43637893453697730332011-06-21T16:36:41.761+01:002011-06-21T16:36:41.761+01:00"There is also the this very peculiar problem..."There is also the this very peculiar problem of which TDC officers have been forbidden from replying to me?"<br /><br />Ah, you must be one of thos "vexatious questioners" who they dislike so much.
