This is really rather nice, distracting in a Friday kind of way. Links words across songs with a lovely flowing action. Like the typography. Does need a bigger data base, the current selections are very reflective of its ultra conservative sponsor 'Hard Rock Cafe' (its one Clash track is however - 'I'm so bored with the USA'!)

"..we're going down the pub.." -or rather your post is.


Not that I need anymore reasons to spend time in bars, but this is a really neat idea.
Use Your Local.com
Rather than spend Saturday morning's queuing up at the Post Office to collect parcels that have been delivered while you are at work. Get them sent to your local pub, pick up on way home, stop for a quick drink to thank the landlord, genius! Nobel prize's have been given for less.

The scheme is backed by Scottish & Newcastle (now part of the Heineken group) appears to have been thought as a way of giving country pubs another offer, to me the big pull is for urban pubs/bars, As I have ranted about before the parcel delivery service is just out of wack with modern work patterns. The Saturday queue at the Clapham Post Office is daunting if you don't arrive by 8 a.m. having the option of going to the pub instead, now that is an advancement for mankind.

Sorry about the out of office reply(s) ?

mmmm I may have sent a large number of my contacts multiple 'out-of-office' replies by mistake, the curse of trying to be clever with email late at night after a very long day, sorry again chaps, won't happen again (well not for two weeks at least as I'm off on hols)

New Job?

Entrepreneurial self-starter with a good understanding of how small agencies operate.


We are looking for a creatively minded, inquisitive thinker to join a small multi-discipline team. You should have a strong interest in the changing nature of today’s communications.

You will have already had responsibility for day-to-day management on a portfolio of client accounts. Now seeking a greater autonomy and a bigger contribution to the running of an agency.

We are: t7F London.

We call ourselves brand strategists for the real world. We develop and launch challenger brands. We re-focus and re-energise tired or maturing brands. We realise our ideas across whichever media channel is appropriate from broadcast to social networks.

Our work is very varied but can be categorised as dealing with ‘awkward’ market conditions. For instance: an online navigation and music discovery mash-up for Harman Kardon; a TV spot and social network activity for FRONTLINE Spot-on; a Facebook campaign for First Drinks Brands; and the launch of a new weight management product, Appesat, using press, posters and online.

t7F London is part of The Terrace, a group of three owner-managed communication agencies.

AW Media founded in 1987 and still going strong as a full service media independent.

Nextdoor a new digital media specialist. Planning, buying and creating.

t7F London was founded by Robert Thackery and Philip Slade, there is a whole load more online if you look.

Ask 500 (well mostly 20) People


Instant polling from (almost) 500 souls online.
A great idea for a web site, not fully doing its bit yet. Still a rather fun way of gleaning instant info from a mainly American audience. Do like the new business feature for brands to ask questions

Good ad placement


Interesting ad placement above the Appesat strip...

Its that time of year

We are just about to go head long into degree show frenzy, Its that great time of year when all the pent up student energy and passion gets released on a generally indifferent world.
One of our placement students from last year, has a good blog backing his degree show. Called Diablogue
