‘Hang on lads, I’ve got a great idea’ said Charlie Croker as years of planning teetered on the edge of a cliff at the end of my favorite film The Italian Job – the original, naturally.
Now I’m not one for all that psychic Horoscope Russell Grant Mystic Meg mumbo-jumbo, but every now and again it can be spookily accurate.
Take a look at mine from The Sunday Mirror this week:
‘A fresh idea helps you make good decisions …. won’t allow fear of failure to prevent you from taking a step forward or taking a risk’
Now most of you probably don’t know, or even care that AngryBritain does most of what it does for shits and giggles, very rarely are we paid for what we do. Now much like Charlie Croker I’ll be buggered if I’m going to see 4 years hard work go over the edge of cliff – so that’s gotta change. And to do that, I need you.
I need you to get involved in the site, use it and make it your own. We’ve given it a massive overhaul, built a forum for you and now I need you to start using it in anger. In addition to that the Beef page is a bit sparse, so I need to know who’s got your goat and why and the fresh idea is ….
…. that I am going to take the buggers on wielding my huge virtual penis via Twitter and Facebook to make them resolve your issues. They’re already scared of me, as an ex-member of Three UK’s Social Media team recently told me.
You could say I’m going after Watchdog, they’re too far behind, social media is where the world is now. Nobody likes being called ‘shit’ publicly, so let’s use that and our combined networks to get your issues resolved.
I’ve already spoken to someone and this project has potential for much bigger things if we get it right, and start getting results.
Now, let’s blow the bloody doors off eh? If Martin Lewis can pull his coach from the cliff edge, so can we.
