One interesting thing about all the features below - they were all our ideas. None of them was actually

the result of a brief from the publication involved.  We do have good feature ideas!

BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS FEATURES

Ann Summers - keeping customers in bondage.   What we tried to do with C&EB magazine was take a new slant on subjects related to electronic commerce.   On this one, we got away with it!

Blog On! - for the same magazine, this was a report on how the blog phenomenon can be used in marketing.

Workplace coffee bars - we've written a lot about this over the years.  This is from FM World, the fortnightly news magazine for facilities managers.

Biometrics - no, I didn't know anything about them until we wrote this one.  This was for FMX, the monthly facilites-management title.

Catering rip-offs? - another one from FMX.  This one has attracted a certain amount of interest, even though it has just appeared.

Blind lifting - from Cranes & Access magazine, the story of how a teenager invented a remote-control guide for lifting heavy canal boats in a boatyard.

Cool Town
Hewlett Packard's vision of the world in which everything and everyone will be connected through the 'always-on' Internet.

Why do white people smell like wet dogs when they come out of the rain?
-  a remarkable cross-cultural piece from the Guardian, based on Philip Milano's great website, the Y-forum. 

The lies on your CV 
- how many lies did you tell on your CV today, mummy?

Suits you at interview
- the brilliant inspiration of Nancy Lublin from New York, and what it has done for jobless women who need to shine at interview.

The Best Bosses - and the Worst
- From Office Buyer, incredible stories of management from the 
wisdom of Big Jim Miller, of Arlington, Texas 

The Spanner in the Works 
- a legitimate business-to-business subject, because the original spoof-waiter troupe are a corporate-entertainment resource.

Drunk on the airwaves
- Serious business magazines can still make points from lightly-written features. This is from the Licensee, and features the world's only radio show devoted to beer.  Some bizarre Americana. 

Jane Asher
- from Executary International, not just an interview with the 
cake-making actress (her description, not mine) but a comment on my writing which I will treasure. 

We also compile crosswords... loading an example on the site soon, I hope.
 

CHRISTIAN and GOSPEL FEATURES

White man turns black
- from Christian Herald

The great Don Francisco 
- why God owns all his music. From BGM. 

David Elleray, premier league referee and Christian
- from Christian herald.

"Jesus is presented as a strange demented European kind of man, wandering around saying 'I am God', and wittering a few ethical precepts..." Professor Terence Copley on the state of religious education in schools. 
-  from Christian Herald

Holy Unsuitable!
- the best Christian outreach project ever devised!

Radical Salvationist
- the great Joy Webb, founder of Britain's first guitar-led worship band... and the first to make the charts!

Glad to be Gay
- Lavender Light.... the feature on NewYork's multi-racial gay and lesbian gospel band, which shook the British scene when printed in
British Gospel Music.
