So many agency 'Christmas cards' are AI slop this year, which makes them look like they have no idea what creativity is anymore. Toe-curlingly embarrassing.

Little poem/rap to tuck you in tonight xxx I'm a natural-born villain. Most fractures from livin’. Closed captions. Toast the rapture. Gross capture, unforgiven. Dutch courage for the nuptials. Coast the uphills. Fill the rest in. I'm a natural-born villain. The rat catcher’s always billin’.

This is my favourite song at the moment. Listen to it and then tell me another song I should listen to. Don’t have to match my vibe. Just make me feel something. open.spotify.com/track/2JH26h...

Sam Fender is the only new singer I’ve heard in the last twenty years that has really made me feel like I did listening to music when I was sixteen. His voice moves me.

“You were in the top 17% of listeners for this next track.” Yeh, no shit, Spotify DJ. It’s because you keep playing it even though I skip it. My Spotify DJ knows 20 songs and they just shuffle them.

Spent the day with new pitch win clients and some of the stuff they said has rewritten my expectations for all clients. These are the ones you dream of, folks. God, we might actually do some really iconic stuff if we can pull this off.

A short film to explain how to make a short film to explain how to make a short film. This is genius content. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEWu...

This is why I love YouTube more than any other platform.

Putting a Tool track in a game trailer will automatically attract and guarantee an audience. (It's me) www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4Td...

One interesting signal on the state of our society right now is that about ten years ago, we would've regarded Preppers as paranoid lunatics, whereas now, they seem like sensible well-prepared people. Incidentally, if you are stockpiling things, keep it to yourself.

Total War: Warhammer 40k. YES, PLEASE.

Still the voice of his era, in my mind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fj_...

Doing my taxes and realising it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. 🤓 When does everyone else get their self assessments in?

The Republicans couldn’t be any more obvious about wanting Venezuela for the same reason they wanted Iraq. But surely there is no will amongst even right wing voters for another war? Especially after making the case for years for isolationism and staying out of conflicts. Surely?

Shame Craig Ferguson isn't doing late-night TV anymore. Could really use a bit of who-gives-a-fuck charm in this diabolically depressing world.

Fruit and nut Toblerone is where it's at, folks.

This looks so gooooooddddd www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkov...

Santa is in Somerset on a tractor! 🚜🎅

Finally heard that we won pitch number three! I would say everyone needs a holiday now, but folks will be flying out to China to shoot the TVC in a couple of weeks. A manic end to a manic year.

Genuinely fed up with the Fallow chefs posting video after video of 'Michelin star dishes', when neither Fallow nor any of their restaurants have a Michelin star, and the more obvious problem that Michelin Stars aren't awarded to individual fucking dishes.

When people talk about "AI adoption", I automatically imagine robot couples raising human children. So cute.

Reluctantly watched stranger things only to find out they haven’t released all of the final episodes and we have to wait AGAIN to finish this stupid show. I hope all the kids die now and the ending is just monsters sleeping in their beds.

I'm pretty sure the best way to trigger an Italian is to tell them that other food exists.

Wife just shouted from the other room... "My farts smell like soup!" Anyway, hope you're all having a good weekend.

Putting together gym equipment is a better workout than using gym equipment.

Pennis walked so Borat could run. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PVh...

Pizza is just a cooked open sandwich. Why do people tolerate Italians and their bullshit so much?

It's remarkable how many of these LinkedIn-famous "brand consultants" are social media managers. There's definitely value in helping senior marketers crack the LinkedIn code and supercharge their careers. Go sell that.

Fellow English cricket fans, let’s appreciate the fact that probably the greatest living English sportsperson is batting for us right now. Joe Root will go down in history as one of our all time greats. What a player.

Absolutely love the look of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3bb...

Is anyone still maintaining a presence on the other place or has everyone fully moved on?

Shame we aren’t a hat-wearing culture anymore. Removing your hat as a sign of respect probably has knock-on societal benefits when everyone does it.

Finding out today if we won pitch number three. We did three in the space of two weeks (I know, wild). Won two so far, but this is potentially the biggest one and might transform the agency. Everything is crossed...

My hometown is at the centre of the arts community. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The upside of being with a teacher is that we can have loads of holidays throughout the year. The downside is that every winter, I need to wear a hazmat suit to protect myself from whatever god-awful bioweapon your grubby little kids cooked up at school and stuck to my wife.

Anyone reading the BBC over the last three days must conclude that the government has misled them. If only they were like this with Boris. Oh wait, he’s a close friend.

This is the kind of British weather that makes people emigrate.

This Ottolenghi whole roast cauliflower with tahini sauce recipe was great. Tried out a new roast chicken technique too, which delivered fantastic crispy skin. Chicken technique here > youtu.be/LYoCKGUHVkU?...

Back into one of the best games of the last ten years.

Had to move seats twice on the train because other people are so fucking annoying.

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.

Receipts should be banned.

We won the pitch where we made the client cry.

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

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.

Looking at my great grandma’s ration book from after the war.

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?

Client asked for the pitch to stop for a minute earlier so she could wipe the tears from laughter away. God, I really hope they buy that route.

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.
