Right, I’ve been tagged by Chris to share with you all eight random things about myself and seeing as distractions are welcome as I’m trying to slay my thesis, here we go:
The first movie I ever saw at the cinema was Ghostbusters 2.
I hate ketchup, it has no taste! Gimme some hot sauce any day.
I [...]

I’m not really into reviewing eateries, I find it quite pretentious and sad when ad folk do the one up manship on restaurants and some predictable fame seeker will say in total cliché form The Ivy. It’s fucking shit anyway. Having said that, I’m no greasy spoon man either, with vanity strong in my veins [...]

As if having Dubya as our leader wasn’t enough to inspire warm and fuzzy feelings in the rest of the world’s peeps, our fine and sporting Olympic team won’t be partaking in the culinary delights of the Beijing games this year because get this, they’ll be taking their own food. Way to go guys, I [...]

I’ve recently been completely bowled over by quite an amazing piece of ‘on a shoe string’ work that has come from Leo Burnett Dubai. I’ve been harsh on the region in the past for a number of reasons but since following this campaign I’ve seen that great and fun ways of doing stuff can be [...]

I’m thinking about moving adlads off wordpress.com and onto someplace where we can play with the look and feel a little bit more and make it more ‘custom’. So I’m facing the questions of whether to jump to Typepad, Movable Type etc etc. Where do you guys host your blogs and what would you recommend? [...]

I always tell anyone who listens (and even those who don’t) that the best thing by far about blogging is the people you meet, some of those people become your friends and some of your friends become really close friends. And when an awesome friend gets a great new job abroad, one that they’ve [...]

I’m quite late to comment on Marilyn Manson, he’s been around for years and everyone has mentioned that he’s a marketing genius but I quite fancied a brain dump on him. I’ve been watching his videos of late and using some of them as stimulus in certain briefings as they really capture the dark side [...]

It’s already been a year and I’m surprised, but in a good way. The kind of surprise you get when something you’re selling on eBay goes for higher than you had hoped. You were selling it and expected to get something for it, but perhaps are a little taken aback by how much you ended [...]

This is hugely self-indulgent, but hey if I can’t do that here, on my very own cyber-soapbox then where can I?
Daniel over at AdStructure came up with a way to rank the top 27 blogs of people under 27 and surprisingly (for us) we were in it! Number 15 to be exact. It’s nice to [...]

I’m off home tonight, to the majestic city that is Newcastle. I hardly ever get to spend a long weekend there and as a result it makes it extra special when getting there i.e. the bars I would fall in and out of a student, all my friends who I grew with outside of work [...]
