I talk about advertising, unionisation, and gaming a lot. I have fur babies and food comas. Prone to an occasional rant (soz).

I‘m a little blessed that my train station to get into London is Castle Cary, and rather than a crap coffee shop chain, I have a fancy restaurant run by The Newt with its own cheesemaker.

Client bought a route with an actual wolf in it, and production just sent a message saying they've found us a wolf.

Finally getting around to planning our Svalbard trip. It will be after Christmas in 2026.
I think I asked before (maybe on Twitter??), but anyone who has been, please share your tips.
We're planning on getting a package with lots of daily excursions FYI, so any operator reccos, please share.

Does anyone have a Thermomix, and if so, what do you use it for? What would you recommend it for? And should I get one?

Might be an unpopular opinion amongst other cricket fans, but to me, the only thing I care about in international cricket is The Ashes.
Win or lose, it never fails to entertain.

Can't quite get my head around how the entire John Lewis Christmas decorations department costs roughly 1000x what it costs to make.
This is a cheap, crappy plastic wreath. How is it worth £90?
The whole Christmas shop is like this.
Crap products with extra zeros on their price tags.

I mean, if you're one of the large, long-term shareholders in WPP, you're seeing the lowest share price since the mid-90s and no clear path to growth.
You'd probably think your best option is to bring in a CEO tasked with selling the company at the highest valuation they can get, and getting out.

So it seems WPP’s McKinsey moment is less “tell us how to make money” and more “help us sell”.

Couples who are telling people that you are "trying":
For the love of God, please stop doing that.
Nobody wants to imagine you two "TRYING".
It is super weird that you are going around telling people, "I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE HAVING SEX."
