The Promo Calendar Vortex

Posted on: March 22nd, 2012 by MrPromo

We’re in that time of the year at the minute where, in all honesty, there’s not a right lot going on.

 

We’re in a kind of a calendar vortex, if you will. Christmas and all its joy and wonderment is long gone but we’re still quite a way off summer too, despite a few teasingly warm temperatures.

 

 

Now many of you may feel that this isn’t really …

Let the music play

Posted on: March 19th, 2012 by MrPromo

I’ve confessed before my love for all things musical and just what a profound effect it can have on one’s day-to-day life.

 

This is already a well-established fact. I mean if anyone has ever seen me on a night out, I’m generally the first person onto the dancefloor while I always have my iPod on the go to keep my day moving nicely.

 

 

Music has an incredible …

Bingo!

As a human race we are very different, hence why there is such a great variety in all fields across the planet earth.

 

By that, I don’t mean literal fields of course, although that could work too. I mean in field, sectors, industries, areas, regions etc etc. Name whatever field you like, film, music, cinema, there are going to be differences of opinion based on taste and likes or …

I bet you won’t get any better deals than this

People often seem to think that they know best in this world I find, even when confronted with facts and knowledge that conclusively prove they are incorrect.

 

I’m sure we’ve all been in arguments with friends about something, usually largely trivial, but which causes a real bone of contention. It can be immensely frustrating when you know that an actor was in Casualty, not Holby City, or you know …

Something to sing about…

Hey, any music aficionados out there? Ah, good. That makes this blog a little bit easier.

 

Music, for me, is an indescribable phenomenon. Not in the sense of, how does it get into my ears and then my brain understands it, just how it makes you feel. I’m sure we’ve all had that feeling of the hairs standing up on the back of your neck and that is something …

Let HMV entertain you

Posted on: January 10th, 2012 by MrPromo

Come on, let me entertain you. Not my words, ladies and gentlemen, the words of Robbie Williams. Not that I’m a plagiarist, of course, I am simply using his words to illustrate that we all need entertainment of some description to keep us happy.

 

It could range from anything, to anything. I mean we all have various different hobbies which keep us happy and content. It may be of …

Separating the prose from the amateurs

Posted on: December 23rd, 2011 by MrPromo

As you’ve probably worked out by now, I like to consider myself somewhat of a wordsmith. I take great pride in my blogs and hope that they bring a great deal of enjoyment and pleasure to you lucky readers.

 

That said, I don’t mind telling you that I’m a bit of a maverick when it comes to my prose. I go against the grain and play by my own …

Magic

Posted on: December 13th, 2011 by MrPromo

I don’t know about you readers, but I love a good film. Something that you can really get lost in is what I always look for, where you find yourself in a state of bliss because you have just got so into the story that before you know it you’ve awaken from your movie stupor two hours later.

 

As I’ve mentioned before, Mrs Promo and I enjoy very different …

Let me show you Show and Stay

Posted on: December 9th, 2011 by MrPromo

I’ve been to see a lot of shows in my time. The theatre is a regular pastime with me, and I try and pass the sentiment onto the rest of the Promo household. Alas, whilst they’ll put up with panto every year, that’s about it.

 

There’s so much more to the theatre than that. I recently watched An Inspector Calls, and could do nothing but marvel at the set- …

Literally Live Deals

Posted on: October 13th, 2011 by MrPromo

The television has brought all sorts of opportunities to us to watch all sorts of things we never could before. Top level musical events, sport and theatrical performances have all been made much easier for us to view. So, simply by sticking a few cameras at the side of a pitch, people can now rest up on their sofas and watch away.

 

I do feel that sometimes, however convenient …
