I’m sure most of you have seen at least one of them, but have you really read them? I just love the Poems on the Underground series - they’ve become ingrained in my every day commute, in my London life, and I find myself under a slightly worrying compulsion to look out for them…
I think it’s [...]
A new theory has been developed, all around trying to instigate behaviour change. The thinking behind this is quite simple, if you make things fun for people, you are more likely to change people’s behaviour.
The first video launched to showcase this new theory demonstrates how true this can be. A normal staircase is turned into a giant [...]
The eleventh World Sight Day took place last week and if I’m honest this was the first one I’ve been aware of. The reason… iconic photographer Rankin.
Rankin teamed up with international charity Sightsavers in order to raise awareness of the thousands of women in the world who go blind every year.
By using the power of [...]
I am obsessed with fashion blogs at the moment. My current favourite is ‘What Katie Wore’. It’s a blog written by Katie’s boyfriend who challenged himself to document what his eclectic and colourful lady wears everyday for a year, whilst she had to make sure it was something different everyday ( it’s like a more personal [...]
We have recently acquired some pieces of art done by my late father-in-law, Robert Gordon Crombie. These paintings capture Africa’s beautiful and magnificent beasts in they daily lives and in they natural habitat, I know that hours and hours were spent at the game reserves trying to get that perfect shot that could be painted [...]
Last Friday night, 23red had their 5pm ‘beer o’clock’ served with a twist. In honour of our Bacardi Limited ‘Champions Drink Responsibly’ campaign, we decided to put some of our delicious non-alcoholic drinks to the test. Our resident mixologist, Claire, did a sterling job of re-creating the infamous Apple Mojito which went down an absolute [...]
Way back in August I took in a few comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.
The highlight was Tom Wrigglesworth’s An Open Return Letter to Richard Branson – not to be confused (which I did) with the letter to Richard Branson written by a disgruntled Virgin Airlines passenger that did the rounds last year!

As with most good [...]

whilst on the subject of golf take a look at this, just when you thought a major gaming co made a huge glitch in its [...]
Friday afternoon in the office, and an email popped into my inbox which read:
Subject: Food for thought….
Body copy:Don’t ever complain about commuting, the broken printers or any other aspect of office life . There are worse jobs out there…
What I expected was a five minute montage of clips using home videos (or cartoon characters) in various slapstick comedy scenarios. In [...]
Chestnuts or to be more precise, conkers are perhaps in my Top 3 Favourite Things.
Not too long ago I visited Ashdown Forest and found beautiful chestnuts everywhere, ‘winking’ at me from beneath newly fallen coloured leaves. I picked one up, put it in my pocket and there it stayed for the best part of 3 months. [...]
I was doing some image searching the other day and i came across this site. Stoffel De Roover a photographer who has created his unique style of photograhy using smoke from incense sticks, mirrors and then editing it all together. He has an extensive gallery on his web site ranging from terminator style to nature. [...]
Blu is back with one of his sensational real-life giant animations. Only this time, he’s joined by painter, filmmaker and all-round urban demigod, David Ellis.
Fetch yourself a brew and a biscuit, press play and enjoy!
Over the years, Blu has produced a few of these graffiti animations. I find the attention to [...]
Here’s a simple idea, brilliantly executed by designer Oscar Diaz.
The ink in the pot gets sucked out into the embossed paper numbers through straightforward ‘capillary action’ – essentially just like a household sponge.
Every day that goes by, a new set of numbers gets coloured in to give you a truly original calendar.
And do we really [...]
A cinematic, very entertaining TV ad for Canal+ by BETC Euro RSCG. The director was Matthijs Van Heijningen.
Does it make it’s point about the creativity of Canal+ writers? I think so. And it’s funny. Funny is always good. Remember, no-one’s sitting at home just waiting for your next ad.
It’s no surprise that many restaurants have been hurting for business since the start of the economic crisis – but hey, people still need to eat! So what are retailers, packaged food, and delivery restaurants doing to take advantage of the situation?
Promotions such as Sainsbury’s long-running ‘Feed Your Family For a Fiver’ have been successful [...]
Tube journeys are often what I term a ‘necessary evil’, so when something grabs my attention and puts a smile on face my face it definitely sticks in my mind.
A recent example of this is the latest ad campaign launched on London Underground by Dixons.co.uk. The campaign which does not actually mention any other retailer [...]
This is a really cool link, I had a bit of fun with this and I must admit did make me laugh. It does switch between different scenarios and takes a little time to load up but definitely worth it. Its directed at a young male market making you interact through different scenarios linking in [...]
