No more Gorillas.


Something very very special about this piece of work.

Brilliant message, does make you totally stop and think.

Reusing ideas rocks!

Christmas cheer for Rapp London.

Lick it up Nigella!


This is simply brilliant, although it is rather rude, so if you don't like rude then don't watch it, it might hurt you.

I don't mind rude, so i watched it and was rewarded for not minding rude.

AKQA+


Amazing piece of work from AKQA.

I am actually feeling pretty low at the moment becasue this is so good.

I love good ideas, but at the moment, i hate brilliant ideas!

Gold star!

Fiona Phillips no more!

Crap morning TV will never be the same again.

Well, of course, Penny is still there to keep us entertained.

Well done Fiona, you were the epitome of GMTV.

We salute you! Well, i do.

Murder Death Kill!

I'm not a big gamer i must admit, but i have always had computers and consoles and have always loved games, but i still wouldn't say i am a gamer. Alright?

Anyway, i have always loved a good shoot'em up.

Commando and Hungry Horace on the Spectrum 48.

Green Beret on the Commodore 64.

Moving on to Golden Eye on the N64 and Ghost Recon on the Xbox, amongst others.

But, i have now found something very special indeed.

Call of Duty 4.

I know it's not the latest one, and i know i am slow on the take up, but blimin heck, it is ferocious!!

I played it for an hour and a half last night and was shaking by the end of it.

It's incredible!

Bullets flying everywhere, people coming at you from all angles. The smoke, the grenades, the noise.

It's sensational!

I loved Ghost Recon, that was my favourite yet, but this, in the next month or 2, could be crowned the new King.

And, action!

I think i need some brandy!

Poor little Ash.


I never ever thought i would feel sorry for Ashley Cole, but i do.

For it would appear his darling Cheryl Tweedy is turning into Mike Jackson.

Although, i guess on the plus side Mike is used to playing ball games with boys so at least they will be able to go for a kickabout.

Well done The Sun, you have brighten my day again.

Navratiloda rubbish?


Have i missed Christmas?

Is it April the 1st?

Have you seen this?

Is that a printing error?

Has their been some kind of mistake?

Does that say 'Martina Navratilova auditions for Chicago role'?

Or does it actually say 'Martina Navratilova moves to Chicago and buys a Rolls'? and it is my eyes that are the problem?

Hope it is my error, i really do.

Cookie Crew!


Darling Danna made us Christmas Cookies!

Might i say that they are simply delightful and i suggest everyone makes some.

All you have to do is take 340 grams of soft butter. Add to that 2 and 3/4 cups of sugar, mix in 4 eggs, slowly stir in 3 and 3/4 cups of flour, add a teaspoon of salt, teaspoon of vanilla and a teaspoon of baking powder.

Refrigerate over night, then roll out on a well floured surface, cut into shapes, then cook for 5 and 8 minutes at 200 degrees C.

Then decorate them little beauties!

I wish i was gaining respect with a cool British dialect.

Thanks everyone involved.

Coined it in!


Back in September i set a little competition to see who could be the first person to collect the entire set of new coins that have been released.

Well, as you can see from the above, and also here, Clive 'money maker' Murray has done it.

Completed the task!

Won the competition!

Clive wins £1.98!

Bravo!

Encore!

Balisimo!

-----------------------------------------

And look, more news, Peter has also completed the task.

Peter also wins £1.98, well done Peter.

That stinks!


Obviously we have all sniffed Britney, i'm sure I have at some point even had a niff of Kylie, and the other day whilst driving through my local estate I am sure I even smelt traces of Jay Lo, she’s from the block you see.

But if you look carefully in the distance of that very estate, there, by Spar, that’s it, passed the burnout Fiesta; you will see a big bandwagon rolling through, and perched high on top our Usher, Ewan and Sean. And look, they have sacks full of cheap smelling aftershave.

Now, how does this work? Who buys it?

I understand when Brit and Jenny do it. Little girls want to smell like their dancey idols.

But Diddy and Ewan?

I'm not sure.

Would you buy 'Scent of Usher' for your little boy to pop on his collar?

Would a girlfriend really purchase Ewan for their boyfriend?

I'm not sure.

I guess, in all honesty tho these would work really nicely alongside a Lizzy Duke gold bracelet, an Argos ‘2 Pac’ would perhaps work well.

I think this market works when it is older celebrities.

Who wouldn't want their husband to smell like Des O'Connor?

Eau de'Connor.

Oh dear.

Xbox idiots!

I am still very much loving these ads for the Xbox. They rock a good one!

But have you seen the terrible continuity error on this one?

Watch. The Dad starts on the left of the kid, then, after spinning 180° behind he is on the right of the kid. Shambles!

What a terrible thing not to have spotted.

But well done anyway, i like your adverts, they are nice.

Notographs!


Just stumbled on this chaps site.

He has been to some smashing places and has taken some smashing photos documenting those smashing places.

Well worth a look if like me you are into nature and photographs.

Infact, as of today, notographs are beautiful photos of nature.

I like notographs!

Bleed the world!


'The only thing they'll get this year is fired'

If you want to help them then please do.

Kaleidoscope of gold!


Best use of animals ever! Especially mice.

Well, apart from this of course.

Happy Meals!


More of this please!

Maccy D, get creative, stop just lobbing toys in boxes to sell more burgers!

A world without Woolies!


I am finding it hard to come to terms with the fact that Woolworths might not be there in 2009.

It is one of those names that should be on the high street.

Woolworths, WHSmith, Halfords, all of these shops i have grown up with, they have given me so much.

The excitement of going into Woolworths to look at toys, popping in to see if they had the latest Star Wars figures, this is something that is not going to be passed down to my kids, and for that i am sad.

And to think it won't get a telegram from the Queen! It's 99 years old for heavens sake!

I think we should all club together, lob in a tenner and own it ourselves!

Come on people! Together we can win!

I can hear Tescos laughing as Woolworths takes it's last breath.

'Die'


'DIE'

Smoking mittens.


Even tho i don't smoke my feeling is this is a very good idea, although stopping smoking is probably a better idea of course, then you wouldn't have to have smoking mittens.

Have a look at some of the other magic things on the site.

Well done Suck, you obviously don't suck! Are you from the West Country?

How rude!


Yeah, feck off will you!

Officaly you have not been offended in anyway by me using that term.

If you have, feck off!

Harold Lloyd Vader.


Star Wars for the old people amongst us.

Thanks Rubbish

Spy baby!


This is something very good indeed.

A camera lens that shoots at a 90 degree angle.

That is just good, plain good.

Congratulations good you are good.

Give'm the finga!

What would we do without our fingers?

Well, indeed, you couldn't do this, or this...

Oh, or this.

I think we should have a 'National Fingers Day' where we spend a 24 hour period celebrating our little sausage friends.

Infact, i am hereby announcing 'National Fingers Day' will be the 2nd of April. It will even have it's own salute. In a Phones-4-U style way you first do the V's, then put up the other 2 fingers shortly after.

Well done fingers, without you i couldn't have typed any of this.

It's Christmas people, rejoice!

I have been bitten by Christmas very early this year.

I picked myself up a chinsey Christmas candle holder with with flickering candle bulbs.

Sister got me my advent calendar, ok, it was a bit late.

Tree on the way this weekend.

Present purchase has started.

And now i am sitting here listening to 'Simply Christmas Crooners' which Darling Danna purchased for our office.

I don't think it would be Christmas without some proper 40's sounding music.

So, Ladies and gentlemen i give you, Judy Garland.

Ain't she just lovely.

Harry Belafonte has just kicked in, all i can see is little children sitting around fires with jumpers and smiles on.

Let's go Christmas, wind it up.

Stop! Hammond time!


It has only recently come to my attention that when i am in my car i am awfully nosey!

I don't know if you do it too, but whenever i drive past someone, or someone drives past me (this is very rare as obviously i am very hard and drive at 100mph) i always look and see who is driving.

Do they have gloves on?

Are they close to the steering wheel?

Are they incredibly attractive? (Male or Female)

Are they incredibly ugly? (Male or Female)

You know, i am just very nosey.

Anyway, this morning, a Porsche 911 went past me, doing at least 90 miles per hour i should add, and i did my general nosey look, and who should i see, but Diddy Richard Hammond.

There he was, looking back.

Anyway, i felt the need to follow him for a while as if we were mates in a convoy, one point i even waved at him, he smiled back.

Luckily he ended up going into the services, otherwise i fear i would have just followed him wherever he was going and would probably have been arrested for stalking or something similar.

Thanks Richard, i enjoyed our time together, it was special.

I can't move on!


I can't stop listening to 80's music!

It is soooooo much better than any music around now.

If you happen to know me you will be well aware that i cannot stand any of the bands that have come out in the last 5 or 6 years.

The Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire are the 2 perched high on the list, closely followed by The Editors, The Datsuns, The Decemberists, The Swimming Pools, The Colonics, The Craps, The Shins, The Thermals, The Hives, The Von Bondies, The Constantines, The Hives, The Idiots, The Mountain Goats, The Zutons, The Kooks, The Kocks, The Vandals, The Stills and the The Thrills, not to mention The New Amsterdams, The Sea and Cake, The Raveonettes, The Early November, The Replacements, or The Black Key.

I do admit alot of the 80's sounded very similar, but the tunes were so much richer, there appeared to be more consideration given to the actual tune. It wasn't just 2 guitars, a drummer and a singer belting out a 3 and a half minute song with 3 verses and a chorous. There was melody, charm, sophistication.

Jones, Kershaw, 17, 42, Hollywood, League, Ha!

All of them giving us a mass of brilliant records.

I keep wondering why The Editors, The Datsuns, The Decemberists, The Swimming Pools, The Colonics, The Craps, The Shins, The Thermals, The Hives, The Von Bondies, The Constantines, The Hives, The Idiots, The Mountain Goats, The Zutons, The Kooks, The Vandals, The Stills, The Thrills, The New Amsterdams, The Sea and Cake, The Raveonettes, The Early November, The Replacements, and The Black Key don't realise this and start writing a few tunes that hark back to that era, they would sell like hot cakes, or Rubix Cubes. Instead they all just keep pumping out the same old cack.

Well done the 80's, you were better than i thought you were.

I still can't beleive what happened to Nik Kershaw. Jail can't have been good for him.

Still, forgive and forget.

Very super Mario.


Glorious and good.

Thanks Playfool.

West Country is best!


I was grown in the top field, just behind the copse of cedars.

Clever bunch of people from the East made it. I can only pressume they are from the West.

Beigel Bake!


We went to this last night, it was rubbish.

Anyway, we ended up blagging our way into the press night at this design show and pilfered as much red wine as we could, and of course, after drinking you end up very hungry.

And here the magic began!

For we made our way to Beigel Bake.

Good lord!

You honestly haven't tasted bagels until you have been here.

They are astonishing!

Hot salt beef with mustard! It is ridiculous!

For the people who have tried it, why the hell didn't you tell me about them?

For the people who have not tried it, your life will not be complete until you do.

Thank you Beigel Bake and everyone who works there. Especially the lady who served me with the incredible eye shadow, i think you were an angel, although i am not totally sure.

Gold!


Only last month i was telling you all how a site i did got a Campagin Big Award and that it had gone and got some more 'Silver'ware.

Well, it has gone and got some gold coloured 'Silver'ware.

And speaking of Eurobest!

Av it!

Sellotape PR stunt?


Did you read about this?

This chaps finds £10,000 all cut up in a bin.

He hands it in to the Feds.

The Feds wait 6 months, then give it back.

The man now has £10,000 cut into small pieces.

Apparently if he sticks it all back together he can exchange the chopped up money for new unchopped up money.

Imagine that! A puzzle that is well worth completing.

Soon this will be the sort of stunt that a brand will do to get some column inches.

Great!

The so it begins.


The Four Pint Club opened it's door last night to record crowds.

Admittedly there were a few teething problems, Peter and Matthew, 2 of TFPC keenest disciples ended up in The Green Man when they were supposed to end up in The Green Man.

There was the issue of people turning up at different times, but this problem was soon ironed out when people took it upon themselves to either slow down or speed up their four pint consumption.

It was wonderful to watch the camaraderie of the club - Generally when people leave after four pints they would be sent off with shouts of 'lightweight' or 'you bender' - not my choice, but I have heard it said. At TFPC people were sent off with a standing ovation, a spectacle to behold, a sneak into the future of drinking perhaps?

All in all The Four Pint Club was an incredible success, credit crunch drinking at it's best.

Talk of The Four Pint Club Christmas Special has already been debated. I've heard from Noel Edmond's this morning, he has already expressed an interest in attending.

The Four Pint Club - Continue as you were.

Lordy Gordy.


Oh thank you Gordon, for you are making me very very happy indeed, of course with The Suns help.

Good show people who work for The Sun.

Rugger buggers!


World!

I am very very excited today.

For tomorrow night i will be watching my cousins boy, Nick Koster (my second cousin) run out for the Barbarians against Australia at Wembley Stadium!

The Barbarians always choose a player who has no international caps, although he will have them soon, and they picked Nick. How do you like that!

He is going to be playing along side some total legends too, Richie McCaw, Bryan Habana, even little Shane Williams. Unfortunately George Gregan is also playing, and we don't like him. I have had a word with Nick and asked him to put itching powder in his jock strap, i didn't really George, if you are reading this, which i am sure you aren't, but if you are, i may as well make the most of it, you are a twurp!

Anyway, go Nick, a proud proud day for the Cullip family!

What a delight.


Watch this, it is good.

Read The Onion, it is good.

Well done Poke, it is good.

Pinch and a punch...


...it's the 1st of the month! (and no returns!)

Do you know why we say this on days such as this?

Well, years ago people thought that witches were like real, infact, there still are some real witches* around.

Anyway, people thought that salt would make a witch weak, so the pinch part of it is actually a pinch of the salt, and the punch part was to banish the witch cause obviously the witch would have been weakened by the salt.

So their it is.

I'm actually surprised that the government hasn't tried to ban this saying.

If you went out and decked someone today because you don't like them, could you use this saying as a reason in court?

I wonder.

Can someone try out my theory please, but don't punch me, I'd cry.

* She is obviously a witch as she has made everyone believe that this is a good song when it is obviously an awful pile of tripe.

Theroux the keyhole.


Great British public, did you happen to see Louis Theroux on the Beeb last night, he was in Philadelphia, or Kiladelphia as the local children called it?

He was hanging with the local bobbies and the drug enforcement chaps going around the streets chatting to the hoodwinks.

Anyway, there he was, all togged up, bulletproof, and what did he have sticking out the top of his Kevlar vest?

A scarf!

And how was the scarf tied?

It was obviously tied as no man on earth should tie it!

What was he thinking?

As if a bulletproof vest wasn't enough of a fashion faux pas, oh Louis!

Oddly enough, Tank - Baby T, and I - Ricky Dee, were in Philly 3 weeks ago, strange you didn't see us as we were hanging with the homes scoring some crack whilst getting proper tooled up with a few guns and things yeah.

Honest.

I'm a right gangster.

Are you manizzle ma'fizzle? Are you? If so, could you stop please as it is making my inner thigh itch like crazy!

Thanks.
