Posted on November 13, 2008February 17, 2013 by Jonny Blair

September 2004 came round, and AFC Bournemouth were playing some incredible football.

I was walking past Fulham Broadway station in July 2006 trying to sort out my car parking permit, having just moved to London. Then my phone rang and it was John Johnson who was in Ibiza. John is one of my mates, I used to live with him for a while and I know him Read more about The Big Reunion in Skegness, England, December 2006[…]

Public Relations Work: Apple’s Christmas in August (2006)

Posted on November 11, 2008August 18, 2022 by Jonny Blair

I was lucky enough to work for Bite Communications during 2006 – 2007 and my main client was Apple, so naturally I was invited to loads of excellent, exciting events. Looking back, it all happened in a flash, and it kind of passed me by. Apple as a client was always very demanding, even Read more about Public Relations Work: Apple’s Christmas in August (2006)[…]

Backpacking in England: Touring Durdle Door, Dorset…

Posted on November 5, 2008August 11, 2015 by Jonny Blair

I spent a brave few years living in Dorset, England. Its a great wee place, very honest, very raw, but unfortunately less English and more commercial in parts than I’d like. I’ve spent over four years of my life living in Bournemouth, which is commercial, touristy and has an influx of foreigners, especially in summer. However Read more about Backpacking in England: Touring Durdle Door, Dorset…[…]

It was early 2007 and I was busy planning more South of England Northern Ireland Supporters Club days out.

Working Wednesdays: Return To Sender, The World’s Worst Postman in Holywood, Northern Ireland

Posted on November 2, 2008January 4, 2015 by Jonny Blair

Looking back at this little story about being a postman, I can laugh at it, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, nothing learned. I went to a job interview for being a postman back in 2001, got it and decided to leave the pub job. I always liked stamps, I used to collect them, I always Read more about Working Wednesdays: Return To Sender, The World’s Worst Postman in Holywood, Northern Ireland[…]
