This smoothie is not going to kill you

Love this.

twentysix Go Skating

We went ice-skating at Somerset House.

Not much of a story. But lots of fun.

Your own, personal Santa.

I’m repping commercialism, AKA Santa, for our Christmas Tweets project.

So I thought I should at least download the little guy and carry him around with me.

Here’s my step by step guide to creating your own credit crunch gift idea for Christmas.

Step One

Go to http://www.christmastweets.co.uk/ and download your own Santa (or one of the other characters – I forget who they are now).

Step Two

Print that bad boy out.

Step Three

Cut Santa out whilst wearing your most festive hat. Mind your fingers kids!

Step Four

Fold up your little Santa. No tearing.

Step Five

Place on Martin “The Hit Man” Hearns’ head. Or any other inanimate object.

Enjoy!

Magic Spoons

This morning I saw something that made me laugh so I thought I’d share it.

We have a problem with people tidying up after themselves in the kitchen. So much so that it gave rise to this post-it note.

Not only do I find the note funny because I like the idea of ‘Magic Spoons’ but, by the time whoever wrote the note – in the style of Gordon Brown – they could have put the spoons in the dishwasher themselves.

Brilliant!

MOVEMBER: Update!!!

It’s day ten of Movember. Some of us definitely look better than others.

Don’t forget you can sponsor team 26 Tash here. It’s for a great cause – read about Movember here.

Lex was on naming duties for the moustaches to date.

The Men Who Stare at Goats

Pete — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:03:12 +0000

Last night I was treated to a preview screening of ‘The Men Who Stare at Goats’ courtesy of lovefilm. I really enjoyed it but my wife thought it was weird. I think this might bomb commercially but will become a cult classic. Ewan McGregor’s American accent is a bit annoying – in a Sean Connery as a Spanish nobleman in Highlander kind of way – but his acting is great as is Clooney, Bridges and Spacey.

A social media guru

Rachel Clarke — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:21:00 +0000

Markham Nolan creates this satire about social media gurus. I love it. Of course, it’s nothing like our approach, where we tend to think more about integration, culture, business objectives and longevity that connecting your Twitter to your Facebook.

Marketing Whimsy from Sainsbury’s

Rachel Clarke — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:55:50 +0000

I’m sure many of us like marketing that makes us smile, that doesn’t just beat you over the head with a sales message but catches your attention a different way. Sainsbury’s (a UK supermarket) have done just that with their special offer tags.
