The Sun is getting hotter!


Once more The Sun delivers gold. Proper gold, not fools gold, proper gold.

That's 2 in a week, they have been very very good boys and girls and i hope they all get a nice Christmas bonus.

Also, whilst out i saw this.

I must say this is the first bit of tree graffiti i have ever seen.

It shall be called Graffitree.

The Sun always shines


More brilliant work from The Sun.

I love this story, i think it is going to keep giving and giving.

I can even see a film being made out of it.

'The Darwins'.

It will star Steven Fry as John, and Matt Lucas playing Marjorie Dawes as Anne. It would be brilliant. I might even approach them before they get bunged in jail.

(Imagine, that bloke who does all the voice overs to Amercian Rom Coms) 'From the makers of 'I didn't do it' and 'So long fatso 3' comes 'The Darwins'. He liked watersports, she just wanted to live in Panama'

There is alot of money to be made here.

Fairwell, i'm off for a paddle.

Arise Mark Denton

We had Mark Denton come to chat to us at work the other morning. He is an amazing chap. A real inspiration.

He has had various jobs in advertising and is know a Director, but it was how he has got there that is the ace bit about his story.

He basically has gone through his career thinking of things to do and then doing them, getting people to give him free stuff along the way.

He has just created this book on Mexican Wrestlers, we have one at work, it is beautifully put together, and basically he got it printed for free!

As something to do he then went into a studio and took loads of photos as him dressed as this old football character. To cut a long story short, this character then ended up in the National Football Museum in Preston.

Anyway, throughout his career he has helped people out, one of which was a typographer freind of his.

He ended up giving her the idea for this poster, just to get her noticed...

After he had finsihed his presentation i went up and asked how to get hold of one of those posters as i rather liked it. He said 'oh, glad you liked it, i'll send you one'. I thought it was a lovely thing to say and that nothing would ever happen.

This morning, wrapped up like a christmas present i get one of the poster, one of 500 none the less.

Thanks Mark Denton, i would say you are a gent and scholar.

I have even asked him if i can star in a film he is making with Ray Winston.

Don't ask, don't get. Remember that!
