RELEASE: Press release blogger goes to 11 Downing Street, pops next door for milk

The notorious East London 'press release blogger' has taken his issues straight to the heart of British power with repeat visits to Downing Street this fortnight.

Visiting 11 Downing Street to make final plans for NEET charity City Gateway's 10th Anniversary Reception, Jerry describes the welcome he received as 'welcoming and neighborly'.

"Having cleared rigorous security checks we were quite free to walk up Downing Street in our own merry time. Approaching the door of number 11 someone stuck their head out of 10 saying no one was in and we should come and wait in there for a while - it was as if they'd just popped out for milk or something, but very welcoming and neighbourly!"

The reception itself attracted over 100 guests from the political and corporate worlds and challenged them to look at how they partnered with the third sector to support the communities they're active in. Over the past few years City Gateway has halved local youth NEET (not in education, employment or training) figures against a backdrop of rising national statistics, working in close partnership with City firms and other charities.

"It was an incredible opportunity to organise such an event," commented Jerry "but I was also very relieved when it was over - luckily the floods of positive feedback made it worthwhile."

Jerry described the atmosphere inside as uniquely British, "It's a lovely building but they haven't gone to town. There's nothing to say what a mighty nation we are, a few picturs drawn by school kids in the 80s and even some of the portraits of former chancellors are caricatures!"

"I get the feeling that if I was hosting a reception in the East Wing of the White House Gordon Brown wouldn't casually walk past my cloakroom, Alastair Darling wouldn't send his wife upstairs to check out what the fuss was about and the 1st family probably wouldn't get their groceries delivered by Ocado at the end of the afternoon. Uniquely British."

Jerry describes the night as a once in a lifetime opportunity that he hopes to repeat and took the first of many photos in front of number 10, "Next time I'm there I'll have noticeably less hair but noticeably more policies!"

RELEASE: What's the real Costs?

The launch of a new Costa coffee shop in Whitechapel has been met with considerable enthusiasm by local residents but a potential backlash is looming, warns press release blogger Jerry Daykin.

"I've been excited to see the shop on New Road take shape this past week and delighted to have been one of their first customers. Popping in for a hot chocolate and gluten free brownie I accidentally befriended half the staff who were all in for a training morning."

Yet despite resounding positivity over the new facility and the development of the area Jerry was cautious about the impact on local residents.

"I have to walk past the shop twice every day on my way to and from work and my will power simply isn't strong enough to resist going in for one of their tasty offerings. Whichever way you look at it, it's a shortcut to financial ruin!"

Analysits warn that an individual in this situation could expect to spend a grand total of £1,300 over the course of a year, money that many simply don't have.

Costa have not commented on the issue, but then again we haven't asked them either.

RELEASE: Londoner Seeks Own Identical Twin For Pop Art Project

An East London marketing manager, who previously masterminded a Hip-Hop Shakespeare project with Sir Ian McKellen, has today issued a call to find an identical twin for his next art project.

Whilst Damien Hirst's 'Twins', currently part of the Pop Art show at Tate Modern, involve a set of identical twins sitting in front of two different spot paintings, Jerry Daykin hopes to go one step further than the artist and find his own identical twin.

"When I was younger I was told that everybody had an exact twin out there somewhere and with over 6 billion people in the world it's easy enough to believe - whilst generations of humanity have had to make do wondering where their twin might be I hope to use the internet to actually find mine!"

If Jerry is able to find his twin he has plans for a new installation art piece where the two would play Wii Whilst surrounded by piles of unwashed red saucepans. Any tall, dark men who think they might be a match, or who are willing to consider radical cosmetic surgery, are welcome to get in touch with @jdaykin.

RELEASE: Everybody NOT in Love with Shallow JLS Promises?

A new song by popular music group JLS promising interested individuals that they'd wait 'forever and a day' for them has been exposed by new research as a decidedly empty promise.

The shocking small print comes cleverly encoded earlier in the chorus where the group explain that: "Every minute's like an hour, Every hour's like a day" and that "Every day lasts forever."

Press release blogger Jerry Daykin, also renowned for his exceptional music taste, exposed the scandal pointing out: "If you work back through their maths you'll realise that by 'forever' they actually just meant a day, that by a 'day' they really meant an hour and that even by an 'hour' they're actually only referring to a minute."

"The bottom line is that at best they're only promising to stick around for about 90 secondswhich even in this age of Tweeting and mobile phones doesn't leave you much room for train delays or postal strikes."

The band is yet to comment but already fears are growing that this discovery will lead to repeat scenes like their original X Factor Live appearances which were overshadowed by crushes amongst stampedes of teenage girls. Whilst fans had originally been put at ease by the song's reassuringly laid back time frame this new report may force some of them into taking more drastic action.

RELEASE: Nothing Lasts For Ever

An East London marketing manager who created a blog entirely made of faux press releases has responded to criticism that his 'well of inspiration has dried up' by claiming the project was never intended to run forever.

Started on his 25th birthday back on August 6th the blog has active posts through until the 24th September [update: now the 5th October] but has not been added to since [update: except this article]. The blog stormed to 1,000 hits within its first month but has seen hits fall by roughly a 1/3 in recent weeks of little activity.

Responding to cries for more from his legion of fans, Jerry Daykin responded, "Nothing lasts for ever, when I created the blog I knew it would eventually have to end. I suppose I could claim that I ran it as a one month project and surpassed all expectations by almost going on for two months, but I wont."

Yet Jerry admits he isn't finished with the project yet, "I'm certainly not saying 'This Is It' because nothing says final words quite like that. I'm also not going to ask for anything extra interesting to happen in my life because the last time I tried that I ended up repainting half the roads in Whitechapel with white gloss paint."

In the meantime fans will have to wait with baited breath to see what his next move will be, internet rumors already suggest that content from his older '8 Simple Rules' blog might simply be repackaged with directors commentary and given an anniversary release date but this has been denied thus far.

One source close to the blogger, who for legal reasons wished to remain anonymous, commented "It's not so much that nothing's happening in his life as that he's too busy living it - there are grapes to harvest every morning and Monopoly streets to buy every evening, not to mention a hotly anticipated wedding video, filmed on the Harry Potter set in Worcester, to edit!"
