A Universe of historical thought's

ThoughtBase is a new service which allows you to archive your thought's so future generations can see what the world was thinking about today.

ThoughtBase is a web-based internet service, designed and created by myself - in Brigg.

The goal of the website is to build a huge database, containing people's thought's from all over the world and all walks of life. The service is completely annonymous, unless you decide to include your details, and will keep your thought's alive in an archive for the forseable future.

You can find out more information or take part and make history, by visiting the below website, which will open up in a new window.

Internet Safety

Internet safety has become an important issue in Brigg, and the rest of the world...

I found a page on Brigglife.co.uk which may help you with understanding internet safety... Click here to read it

Also, Wikipedia.org users... It has now been revealed that the so called Enyclopedia (if it ever was one) has been plagued with viruses and incorrect data, entries in there are now becoming vandalised and it is NOT a reliable source of information...

A word to the wise...

A musical video response to the Brigg Summer Fair

Last year, just before the Brigg Summer Fair, I produced a 90 second news package looking at the situation. Recently, that video has been uploaded on to the internet for the world to see on the popular video sharing websites such as YouTube, Revver, BlipTV and Apple iTunes.

A few days ago, I received a video response, which is for the people in Brigg.... This is the historic "Brigg Horse Fair" song....



And if you forgot about my report.... here it is again...
REMEMBER: This report was produced April 2006 and does not reflect anything this year

Personal Blog: Looking forward to the Brigg Summer Fair 2007

I have now joined BUGSS, the Brigg Upgraded Summer Society. I am now the 5th member. This year the fair will be on Sat 4th Aug 2007. 10 till 4pm. with a similar format to last year. I am really looking forward to helping out with Brigg's most popular, most famous and most talked about event of the year. If anybody else wants to get involved, I will happily pass your details onto the society.

Political Mouth : Now Open

Would you like to join in and discuss the very latest issues in politics, or raise a few issues of your own.... Well now you can... with the Political Mouth! Brigg people now have a chance to show their thoughts and opinions to people all across the UK and abroad... The posts and articles on this website are now also appearing on the Conservatives official website, and David Cameron's (Conservative Leader's) personal website, webcameron.org.uk .

We want to keep a heated debate on todays political issues and I encourage Brigg people to join in on the discussion so we can all have our say too... Brigg has had a "political silence" for too long now...

Lets get commenting!!!
