As you may have picked up my scholarship is a tad different to the norm in terms of Nuffield Scholarship Topics, and so I have been making a conscious effort to gain my contacts and places to see and stay at through social media.

So far just about all my connections and visits have been based around a web and social media connection - but what becomes interesting is the knock on effect of those connections in terms of information spread. So far I have been in over 20 of other people's blog posts, have been interviewed for 4 other podcasts, and appeared in 2 live streaming videos and 4 web videos....

And the moral of the story - news spreads using Social Media. I will link to all these podcasts and videos shortly.

In the meantime loyal podcast listener sent me these corking red neck rules for weddings. As Jodie from Wiggly Wigglers is getting ready for her wedding next week I thought I would share the rules for all you farmers out there.

Top wedding tips for farmers - from farmers.

1.        Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2.        Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot.
3.        For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create too sporty an appearance.

You'll be pleased to read I have bought Farmer Phil a new outfit from Crew today in Boston to smarten him up a bit.
