Angry Since 1967 Announces "Digtal®" Consultancy Service

Strategy in a chaotically organised world.

Angry Since 1967 Consults is the new Digtal® Consultancy arm of Angry Since 1967. As well as developing content packages for one of the most successful blogs called "Angry Since 1967", AS1967 now offers a package of Digtal® assistance for organisations and businesses to help them survive in a period of rapid change.

Digtal® Coaching – Nothing can grow if the movers and shakers in your organisation are feeling insecure or confused. With nearly ten years of award winning online engagement we can help your executives.


Strategic Counsel – We help you see beyond speedy technological change and understand the context of political, social and economic change.

Thought Leadership – Intelligence is about making connections. Our powerful network of partners comprises thinkers, mediocre, failed politicians, armchair commentators, Radio Ulster newspaper reviewers, sudden experts, subjective specialists, jokers, smokers, midnight tokers and cutting edge Digtal® entrepreneurs. We can put you in the picture and ahead of the game.


Correct Spelling - As an AS1967 client you want professionalism from your knowledge facilitator. Recognising the inherent weaknesses of proof reading, we've developed and deployed powerful  Digtal® linguistic algorithms meaning you can be assured that our grasp of spelling is second only to our understanding of basic grammar, so you can.


Jargon Caching - Angry Since 1967 believes that anything worth saying, is either worth saying evasively, or disguised with empty jargon. Pico-trending, marketing funnel, hegemonic social space, heterogeneous empowerment and noise emancipation are fundamental tenets of our core participant benefit map.   


Self Aggrandisement - You deserve the best. Which we will deliver, despite ample evidence to the contrary. This includes a badly designed, off the shelf, templated website which hasn't been proof read properly, filled with bad spelling and worse grammar. Trust me - sorry I mean "us"-  I wrote something for someone once. And we get six hits a week.... Okay then, a month. And we nearly won an award. Honestly. 


Now where's my grant?  



Is this too subtle?

Take a look at our comedy, it's the only one we got.

If I ran a charity in a deprived neighbourhood and a guy appeared, claiming to be interested in what I was doing, but was being followed by a Channel 4 camera crew I'd be asking for the £20,000 cheque right there and then. 


If, one day, I was standing in work, and I was introduced to someone who was there on "work experience" which was coincidentally being shot for a Channel 4 documentary I'd ask the Managing Director what their game was.


I've come to think that TV comedy needs a solid boot in the gonads. The parallels between what we have at the moment, and what existed in music in 1976 are obvious. Out of touch comedians whose sole target is to appear on a panel shows, rings with musicians whose sole target was to appear on Top Of The Pops. Then? Successful bands doing huge, indulgent stadium tours, playing set-lists filled with songs about the pains of being a member of a successful band, and the trials and tribulations of fame and fortune. Now? Successful comedians doing huge, indulgent stadium tours, filled with jokes about the pains of being a successful comedian, and the trials and tribulations of fame and fortune. Then? 70s Radio One DJ's hosting "Seaside Special". Now? Modern comedians hosting something which is effectively "Seaside Special". As I watch TV comedy I'm filled with a nostalgic feeling akin to that of someone living in the economically ravaged industrial wasteland of 70s Britain, hearing Supertramp's sunburnt mid-Atlantic AOR and wondering "what relevance does this have to me, and to my experience of everyday life?" And the answer transposes across 40 years; "fuck all". Yet this cycle of detachment and irrelevance continues. Amply demonstrated by the BBC decamping for another one of their annual jollys to Edinburgh, where finding someone new or fresh isn't as important as  returning with more, barely indistinguishable Oxbridge gristle to fill the seats on their endless procession of smug, self-replicating, panel shows.

Welcome To Fear. Part XIX

Death By Smartphone

Nope. Nothing to see here.....

There's an old internet adage, records of which have been found prefixed with a hastag on buried Greek ruins "nothing kills a blog like a lack of content". Or, depending on the emphasis you put on the words  "a lack of content". I think in the instance of Angry Since 1967 I'm doing a spectacularly good job of killing it either way.
