Brook at them!?

This is very good indeed.

You get the feeling this was done on a tight budget, but it's the idea that makes it a right little winner, although the music is a rather dodgy.

Well done everyone involved.

Bravo!

Bomber on the loose!


Loving this!

The Lancaster was awesome, so would be super to get this off the ground.

Off the ground?

Oh Richard, stop it.

Tetley's tea leaf!

More out and out copying!

Why oh why do brands and agencies do this???

Why?

You can't tell me they never saw the Robinsons ads all them years ago that Aardman sculpted with their very own hands!?*

Astounding i tell you.

* Benefit of doubt offered as they are in Canada.

You have to check this chaps site out!

Some amazing things to behold! Scroll down to Quarter-Mile Groove.

Totally brilliant!

Bravo clever person!

Thanks Nicolas Roope is my name.

The future of advertising.



Beautiful piece this.

This is how it all should be.

More toy magic!

Although i do think he looks like a cross between Motivator and Hammer.

Imagine MC Motivator live on GMTV 'Ok people, running man'

Say cheeeeese Batman.


Really lovely book is coming out with loads of ace photos of toys, although some of them look a bit obvious to me.

Love the toy portraits.

What no Mr Lightyear?

Totally mint mate, mint!

Have you taken these?



They are actually so icy they make you shiver when you eat them!

Man down cold they is!

Try them, if we all eat 8 packs a day i reckon we could slow down global warming!

Booty Collins!

Shepherds Pie.


Well i never did!

I was just looking at Jonnos blog and it got me thinking about Shepherds Pie and now i feel rather stupid.

I always thought Cottage Pie was lamb and Shepherds Pie was beef.

I had in no way taken the dishes name into consideration when making my decision about what meat both dishes contain.

I am an idiot, and i can only apologise.

Beefy beefy!

Josh Keyes.


Check this chaps work out!

Amazing!

If anyone has one they don't want, can i have it please.

Thanks very much in advance, you are really nice, and kind.

Clean.


Apparently it take 3 weeks for alcohol to be removed from your body.

I have not had a drop for 3 weeks, meaning that i am totally free of booze.

My blood is not in an way drunk, not one red blood cell, not even a white one. None of them are thinking about kebabs (rip) or Big Macs!

Well done blood!

I love my blood!

I love coincidence!

I forget to set my alarm last night, and woke up at 7.45 knowing i needed to get the 8.19 train as i needed to be at work for 9 for a meeting.

I was in a rush, i don't like to rush, it's not good for you, makes you doing things you didn't want to do.

Anyway, I'm in a rush.

Toilet, shower, teeth, no breakfast!! (you see, rushing isn't good), pick up stuff, out door, wanting to get to the 8.19, get to the station the 8.08 is just about to pull out, my rush has meant i was early!

Get to Waterloo, into the underground, down to the northern line, train is approaching, i jump on.

Get to Goodge Street station, walk up the stairs, an empty lift awaits me (usually you have to wait for massive crowds to abate before you stand a chance of getting a lift.

All in all, coincidence has meant that i have got to work 15 minutes earlier than i would have.

Thanks coincidence, i really like you.

Obama on the loose!


Go Barak, it's ya birthday, we're gunna party like it's ya birthday!

Best thing i have ever seen to do with Barak Obama on this day in history.

Well done dowg, keep it ting.

I'm lovin angels instead.

I was up north at the weekend at a friend of my Sisters birthday party, it was super. (Did any of that make sense? I am sure there was some awful use of grammer in there?)

Anyway, we decided to stop off and see The Angel of the North, and can i say it was an absolute treat.



He is amazing!

It is actually modelled on Antony Gormley’s own body, just like alot of his other work and as a nod to local industry the fins on him are similar to those found in the hull of a ship.

And, hear this, he is as wide as The Statue of Liberty is tall!

Whopper!

So, get yourself up North, it ain't grim, it's right lush!

AT-AT at it.


More AT-AT good things.

Congratulations all involved, especially for your work on this one.

That's it.

Darth Inhaler.

Just saw this, very good.

Then found these, these, these and these.

Happiness!

Block head Obama.


This is amazing!

Legoland in California have modelled Barack Obama inauguration.

Have it!

Crash on the Hudson River.


So this is what it might have looked like if you had been there, or indeed been on it.

I am glad i wasn't out on my kayak having a bit of a paddle, could have been a right ouch moment.

And i would just like to pay homage to the pilot, not necessarily for what he did, but because his name is Chesley B Sullenberger III, or Sully to his mates.

Well done Sully.

Do us a kickflip Louis.


Pikey folk now have somewhere to keep the board that they nicked from the skaters in Lidl car park.

Have it!

Warhol lot of love!


Banuary rolls on and I am still feeling as positive as ever.

It’s marvelous.

Apparently by day 21 I will have 0% booze in my body. That is a nice thought I can tell you.

Will you have 0% booze in yours?

Hmmm?

Will you?

Anyway, i've been meaning to tell people about Andy Warhol.

I went to see his exhibition at The Hayward.

I didn't really know much about him until I went, and I am glad I did go and now know more.

Obviously I knew about this and this, but I knew very little about his films from the 60's.

They were amazing.

Nearly all the work Andrew Warhola did captured real life in some way.

Having celebrity friends obviously helped as his work contained the rich and famous, but it was his films that most interested me.

His first movie ‘Sleep’ was a five hour film of his naked boyfriend sleeping. Again, nothing happened but it was just so interesting as it isn't something you generally see, yet is obviously so familiar.

‘Empire’ was an 8 hour shot of the Empire State building. Within that time very little happened, but you felt compelled to watch it.

One of the best ones was when he shot (not blat blat) Henry Geldzahler. He sat for 90 minutes infront of a camera. To start with he was animated and acting, but then, the longer he sat the more restless and uncomfortable he became, apparently ending up in the fetal position. Warhol had captured it for all to see. Human nature at work.

With Warhol a lot of people think 'i could have done that' the difference being you didn't and he did.

Anyway, good work Andrew, you played a blinder.

Amazing and inspiring. Go and see it now.

James May.


Have you seen this?

Apparently it's the reason James May got the sack from Autocar.

Blimin lush work Jimmy!

Thanks yous verys much Nathan.

Wallace & The Big G.


Aardman just came in to see us and they brought Wallace, Gromit and the other fellas from their new movie.

I was star struck!

Didn't know what to say!

Although, thinking back, none of them were that chatty. Gromit didn't say a thing! He appeared rather rude.

I wonder if they were on the pop last night, they did all look a bit stiff, obviously haven't bought into Banuary!

Oh well, i am sure if i meet them again i will be more myself.

P.S. What is Wallace's surname? He is a bit like a Brazilian footballer.

Love of advertising!

I saw this this morning.


(Click the image and read the small copy)

It made me happy, really happy!

Happy knowing that people get paid alot of money to come up with this shite!

I don't think i have ever seen an ad that had to explain the main headline, so, infact, i am also happy that this is a first, an original!

Well done all involved! I am off to buy myself a Konica Minolta printer.

Oh, and i am also going to get me some car insurance after seeing this.



Hey, if its good enough for Iggy, its good enough for me.

Please make it all stop!

Please make them all go away!

Please........no more pointless celebrity endorsement!

Please.............i am asking nicely.

Pl....e.as..e........

Bricking myself!


A real life Lego camera!

That's to much!

Imagine if it made your pictures into actual lego models using bricks instead of pixels!

Let me have my moment.....................hmmmmm.............bricks as pixels.......

Breaking news!

'Tom Crusie finally finds perfect template for film posters.'


The technique can't fail to make him look massive and much bigger than any of his co-stars, apart from Wee Jimmy Crankie of course.

Aldi way!


Have you seen Aldi have started doing holidays?

This is an amazing idea!

Aldi have a very specific audience, and they know that their audience wants to holiday in the Canaries and the Algarve.

So, that is exactly what they have done, given them cheap holidays in the Canaries and the Algarve.

Well done Aldi, good thinking.

'2 flights to Costa del Sol please'

'Certainly madam, do you want 2 bags of crushed biscuits with that?'

Я люблю Россия!

Them Russian's knows hows to make posters, or, they did.

Check them out.

There are some totally gorgeous things in their.

I especially like this one...

...and can only hope it is an ad telling us how tennis can be made better with guns and bullets.

'40 - 30'

'No way, that ball was out!'

Blat blat blood!!

Lego my word!


You should probably look at this if like me you like both Lego and Star Wars.

As mentioned, i do like both Lego and Star Wars and so do very much enjoy that.

Thanks Richard, thats ok chum.

The world seems broken...

...when there are people out there who are willing to risk life just to put on a show.


Insania!

Well done Robbie, you are good, all good, although, in my eyes, not as good as Mr M Hoffman, but you still rock like big massive yeah.

Oh, and Bill, i like what you do too.

Work it!

Check out what i got as a belated christmas present!

He works out so i don't have to, with that in mind i'm off to the pub.

Banuary is for losers.

The way you work it!

Beautiful paintings.

Have a look here for more like this, most wonderful work Amy.

They are a cross between Tilt Shift and The Mightty Slinkachu.

Thank you clever person.

For The Gentleman's Urinal.

As you may or may not of read, Two Thousand and Nine is the Year of the Gentleman, so i was delighted to see this;

I will definitely be getting one of these for my toilet i can tell you.

More nice things here from a clever Hannes Grebin.

And, by the way, today i am wearing Moustache Wax and its is brilliant.

Roll on The Gentleman.

Yawn of the dead.

I have recently joined Love Film and am absolutely loving it!

I am watching nothing but foreign films and it is ace, Although, if you haven't seen it watch Broken Trail, ace story about nice cowboys.

Anyway, last night i watched Nói Albínói. It's an Icelandic film that follows a chap called Nói who oddly is albino.

It really is a jolly good film with a nice little twist at the end.

Anyway, i was just browsing Nói Albínói on You Tube and came across this;

Elin Hansdottir is one of the ladies in the film.

So, i was watching it wondering what was going to happen and all i did was yawn.

I couldn't stop.

So, the challenge is to concentrate on this clip and try not to yawn. I don't think you can do it, i really don't.

And, why do we say 'am i boring you' when someone yawns?

You are boring me now tho, so i'm off.

Little bit of magic.



King of tilt shift movies!

Funny money!

I am still trying my hardest to complete the task i set back in September where one had to collect the entire set of the new coins that the royal mint has produced.

I am still 2 away, Clive, Peter and my Sister have all completed the task.

As a result of me getting bored of this task, i have created another.

Firstly collect 10 one pound coins, then, use the letters on the sides to spell words.

So far i have a 6;

Get yourself some money and get spelling.

You'd make Richard very proud indeed.

Look here you!

Comb sweet comb!

Ladies and Gentlemen, i would like to introduce you to my latest purchase.

Fresh from Geo.F.Trumper, i give you, my new Moustache Comb.

Isn't she wonderful!?

I also purchased some Moustache Wax which i will report back on.

Dear friend Matt and I have both decided that 2009 is the year on the Gentleman, i had already decided i was going to carry the Urban Farmer look, the Moustache Comb is the first in many devices to help me perfect my look.

Hirsutes you!

Intuotype keyboard.



As you might know, i love Apple products so i am very glad to see this new innovation from the sicky Jobs.

Thanks Apple, Thapple.

P.S, Keeping listening to the end, Sudoku killer is funny.

I am cock!


First we had 'I am Mercedes', where you are supposed to believe that you really are the sort of person that should be driving a Mercedes.

Then we had 'I am Orange', where you are supposed to believe that you really are the sort of person that should be on Orange.

Next we had 'I am PC', where you are supposed to believe that you really are the sort of person that should own a PC.

And now we have 'I am Unique' from Toyota, were you are supposed to believe that the new Toyota IQ is unique, having no like or equal, unparalleled, incomparable, unique.

Now, 2 problems here.

Firstly - let's call this A) Have Toyota got their heads so far up their exhaust pipes that they have not seen any of the above examples. Infact, have CHI got their heads so far up their exhaust pipes that they have not seen any of the above examples. Why tread where others already have, that's not unique.

And secondly, we will call this B) Are they not aware of the Smart car?

Fig. 1.3765

No, i had never seen the Smart car either, obviously, just like most of the people at CHI!

Come on marketeers, try harder, this just isn't good enough. And, like a friend pointed out, your 'IQ' demonstrates how 'Smart' you are.

Infact, this is the second instance of blatant lying recently.

We are cleverer than you think.

All done, you can go now.

Hibernation.


This morning, i was taken out of my cardboard box, my little closed eyes were dabbed with cotton wool, my bottom was cleaned, and i was put on the sofa to stretch and wake up.

And here i am, fully awake, and ready to take on twenty hundred and nine.

The last 2 weeks of my life have been spent infront of life, and not infront of a computer, so, here i am, away from life, and back infront of a 19 inch monitor.

Anyway, Happy New Year to you.

I am once more 5 days into Banuary and am feeling marvellous already! No drink! No rubbish food! Gym! It's glorious. And, it makes you appreciate drink, rubbish food, and not gyming even more.

Also, have you seen that the carnage has begun already. Trees don't need to come down until tomorrow, but already our little Christmas hero's are left alone to die, no presents, no adoring children, no warmth, just dogs urinating on there thinning limbs.

In 2 weeks they have gone from celebrated icons, to shambolic nothings!

Sounds familiar that.

Hurrah 2009, hurrah!
