Tom's Vlog: Giant Balls and Itchy Gramophones

Friday, February 19th, 2010

We’ve heard of some strange phobias in our time. “Pogonophobia” the fear of beards, “genuphobia” the fear of knees, or even the fear of long words, commonly known as “hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia” (seriously, google it!)

But have you ever heard of an irrational fear of balls? Neither had we until we watched Tom’s 6th Video Blog. He never ceases to amaze us!

This week Tom discusses the latest music to hit the charts from ‘Itchy Gramophone,’ how 3 household items can be combined to create a super product and maybe even give you a couple of new phobias to worry about (stay away from blankets and mirrors!) Confused? You will be!

Tom's Vlog: Post-It Notes and Killer Bees

Friday, February 5th, 2010

There are a number of common mistakes you can make in the workplace. Accidentally sending rude e-mails to “all@…”, falling asleep at your desk and waking up with Post-It’s and paper-clips stuck to your face or thinking it’s ‘Bring your Pet to Work Day’ and ending up trying to tempt your badger ‘Montgomery’ down from the air conditioner with some M&S digestives. Yes, we’ve all seen these mishaps happen all too often, none of which we are guilty of…well, just the one and we still can’t figure out how Montgomery got up there in the first place. He’s still there.  The mind boggles.

And so, Tom returns with Episode 4 of his vlog and this week shows us a very stupid worker who makes a very stupid mistake…on live television! As usual, don’t forget to rate, comment and subscribe. We’re off to buy more digestives.

Tom's Vlog: The Luckiest Man?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Kylie sang “I should be so lucky” and Bruce Springsteen sang “Honey, you’re my lucky day.” But nothing compares to the luck that was witnessed in Russia as a pedestrian attempted to cross the road.

This week, Tom is back with his 2nd vlog (a day late, but then again punctuality has never been one of his strong points) giving us his view on what’s hip and happening in the webiverse right now. So sit back, have a watch and let us know what you think. Rate, subscribe and leave your comments. Oh…and don’t forget to tell us where you want to see the chicken!

Quarterfinalist Louise Stokes' Second Blog

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Hi All!

Here’s my second blog of the week.

louisestokes_203_203x152Two weeks to Boot Camp and I am sooooo excited! And preparing in every way I can…..I am able to write, rehearse, perform and then do it all over again day in, day out and again at night, as naturally as breathing, and thats what I’ve been doing all week. I’ve had a few bookings with Nicola Goff-the-Goth which is great for keeping the momentum going for Boot Camp, although it does mean rehearsing 2 slightlly different sets as my current gigs are 10 or 15 minute sets, whereas Boot Camp requires just 5… I’ve spent weeks, ever since I joined 1Click2Fame, trying to join up on Twitter (my gross lack of computer skills again), ringing Sharon at 1Click2Fame today to see if she could help….thanks Sharon!

Since the computer isn’t my strong point, to put it lightly, I’ve been making sure that I take flyers to all my gigs, get the host/compere/mc to announce it all and to vote for me (they love being able to tell the audience I’m going to Boot Camp). I’ve also been taking the flyers anywhere I go where I can leave them, sessional work I do, workshops, performances etc. and telling people what it’s all about. I’ve arranged my friend who films a lot of my stuff to come and film the ‘voting appeal video’, I’ve thought out how I want to do it and he’s had some ideas too, so am hoping to get that send to 1Click2Fame by Tuesday…

I think that’s it up to now, will be working out the best way to make maximum use of Facebook over the weekend as well as thinking up any other publicising ideas I can including going to the central library in Birmingham tomorrow and leaving some flyers there and of course I never stop rehearsing rehearsing rehearsing. There’s no rest in the world of Nicola Goff-the-Goth!!!

Have a good weekend everyone

Louise X
