You'll be fine...Verbal wrote:Not tonight, but tomorrow morning - I'm off to Kings Cross to interview the exec. editor of The Guardian's commentisfree. Nervous.
If you get chance (or want) to ask (unlikely I know)...
I'd like to know if the site ever gets invaded by rightist thug idiots trying to flood...
Can any site like this ever break a story - does anyone actually post something that goes 'Ding?'
With regard to the former, comments on cif are post-moderated so i'd reckon any invasion would be swiftly dealt with.
Luckily, the second leads into the main focus of the reason I'm there in the first place; my dissertation project

Interesting...
chatting to her, cif is an excellent platform for pluralising and widening debate...which is fairly obvious, to be honest. Rather than just having opinion dictated to you from 'columnists', hundreds of people from all walks of life can write and submit a piece on a particular topic. The key line is that it doesn't matter if you can't articulate like Simon Jenkins; if you've got a point, your in.
Though obviously these will all go through the same editorial process, so the extent to which you can call it a free forum is debatable...
With regard to breaking stories, it's apparent that journalists at the big g-unit have come to use blogging, twitter, other social media as a way to find stories and evidence. Cases in point are the Iain Tomlinson death at the g20, and the trafigura scandal.
Will type the recordings up at the weekend and see if any of it actually makes sense!

Tonight was the press night of Midsummer Night's Dream at the Octagon. It is a glorious production. Wife and I loved every minute. Simply a delight to be there. Especially lovely to see a young cast come to grips with shakespeare and end up owning the play securely, telling its story with clarity, creating character with depth and variety.
And I'll be going again. You don't get to see Shakespeare of this quality outside Stratford or London. And it's in Bolton. How good is that?
Oh - it's set in the 1960s and the design is inspired by the iconic cover of the sergeant pepper album and is wonderfully inventive and vibrant and colourful...
Unmissable for theatre lovers, shakespeare fans and anyone who enjoys the sound of laughter. it is very funny. I think it's fantastic that a play written over 400 years ago can make people curl with laughter now...
you'll have gathered i quite liked it...

Two hours of bliss.

Yet possibly the worst review David Thacker has ever had in City Limits/MEN...Bruce Rioja wrote:Read the review in tonight's BEN. The guy must've been close to creaming himself. Couldn't praise it enough.William the White wrote:Tonight was the press night of Midsummer Night's Dream at the Octagon.
I look forward to seeing it later in the week.
Absurd... it's brilliant - but long - 3 hours 20... That's a lot of play for your buck...
let me know what you think, Bruce...
