Mobbing.


I have noticed a new phenomena. Mobbing! (mobile sobbing)

Because, obviously, we now all have mobile phones, i have noticed far more women, and sometimes men, crying on the street.

News that used to only be delivered in restaurants, pubs and at home, is know being delivered on the street, in front of everyone, over mobile phones.

You've lost your job!

You're dumped.

Your cat died.

I'm gay!

All of these sorts of things are being thrown at people in very public places, so, obviously you get to see the fallout.

I want to get some badges printed saying 'Here to help' 'I'm a shoulder' as it is really horrid having to wander past these poor people who are in distress.

Samaritans should have a raft of mobile operatives on the streets of the UK helping where they can.

They could have big Superman style S's on their chests.

Anyway, that's it, no more to read here......

......apart from this.

Where am i?

Several times over the last couple of months i have fallen asleep on the train, of course through being exhausted! It just so happened that on those two exhausted occasions i had been out and drunk 6 to 7 pints of lager, i love coincidence i really do.

Anyway, on both occasions of exhaustedness i have ended up having to get a taxi back home becasue i was fast asleep went i went past my station. On each of these ocassions i have had to fork out 20 and 30 pounds sterling to get home.

So, how happy am i to see this!



It's wonderful and i want to get me one. Imagine the money i could save!

Of course, just a little sign around my neck would do it, but do i really look like Paddington Bear, hmmmmmmmm? Do i?

Nice tune, nice things.


Minilogue - Animals from ljudbilden on Vimeo.

An amazing little animation from Kristofer Ström which he has called Animals.

Wonderful gorgeous things are rare and this should be enjoyed and then passed on for all to see.

Thanks Kris, I'm not cross, not cross at all.

Seen initially at Playfool.

Stop thief!


'Good morning Brands-R-Us'

'Hello, I'd like a new brand created for my new company. We are a betting shop called Jennings Bet'

'Certainly Sir, i am sure we can help, our prices start from around 50 grand'

'Ah, hmmmmm, I've got £15.47, no no (man rustles in pocket) £15.48.'

'Ah, Sir, for that you would probably be interested in our Copy and Paste Service?'

'What do i get for that?'

'Well, we simply copy the look of one of your neighbours and paste in on the front of your shop'

'Ah, wonderful, that sounds most excellent, i'll take one of those please'

Branding is well easy yeah......

Load of wrap!


Is the 'paper wrap' the most hideous form of marketing ever??

I used to like reading Sport, the free sports paper thing that you get free on a Friday.

Admittedly, my fallout with football has meant that i don't always rush to pick it up as i approach Surbiton, 'London's most famous landmark' every Friday morning.

But, if they are going to let brands do this, i think i am over it, Sport, you are out of my life.

Please please please, if you feel the same way, let me know. I want to put a stop to the 'paper wrap'.

Media companies who allow this, you are scum, just looking for opportunities to make more and more money.

Take you money, make a boat, and sail into the sunset, fools!

Winter please!



Let it snow let it snow let it snow!

Big hills with white stuff on anyone?

That's grand that.

Amazing piece of work.

Leave £100,000 unattended and see what people do.



I would have got the hammer out right early.

First seen on Coops blog.

Well done Coops, well done clever people.
