I’ve been thinking long and hard about who should be in Andy Burnham’s first cabinet, and I’ve come to the conclusion that they should all be Muppets (except Andy Burnham, the token human).

“to international destinations” is so weird. 1. Put there by the airport to subtly make commuters dream about going on holiday 2. Put there by the train company to emphasise that you should get the TRAIN if it’s NOT international. 3. Put there by the designer who just thought it felt right.

Use the word “airport” Not airporty enough Put it in it block capitals Not airporty enough Make it pink Not airporty enough Add a little picture of a plane Not airporty enough Add the words “to international destinations” Just the right amount of airporty.

Next episode of Map Men genuinely might have to be delayed for a few days because it requires me running around outdoors dressed up as a Victorian in a massive top hat.

Surprising that a bigger deal isn’t made of the solstice. Should be a massive international holiday with songs and fireworks and kids staying up stupidly late.

Throughout its long history, the BBC Video idents simultaneously made me feel cosy while giving me the willies. There's a cold, sterile bleakness to them. Pure hauntology.

Dreamt that my auntie Katie phoned up in a panic saying she’d accidentally become the mayor of Istanbul, and was massively out of her depth, so I went round to sort it all out and it turned out she’d just bought a board game called ‘Mayor of Istanbul’.

So… hypothetically… if there was an election (or song contest) with 25 candidates, one of which was super-controversial, and passionate voters were able to vote 20 times on multiple devices… that would massively favour the pro votes, because the anti votes are split 24 ways.

Anyone else remember a cassette you used to be able to buy in the 80s that turned your speakers into fans? Used to put it on in the car and it went “wshshshshshsh!!!!!” REALLY painful on headphones.

This is relevant actually cos when
@markcooperjones.bsky.social
and I recorded the audiobook for the Map Men book ‘This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong’ the man in the booth said we weren’t allowed to sing the word “Parklife” for copyright reasons. Instead we had to *SAY* “Parklife” and it sounded weird.

If you'd like to see the Surfshark advert that was too stupid even by Surfshark's usually hands-off standards, we will be releasing it exclusively on our new Map Men Patreon later this week. Why not sign up now so you don't miss it?

For the first time ever, Map Men had an advert for Surfshark rejected for being too stupid. Our response was to give them something even stupider. And they said yes! The advert (and, if you’re interested, the episode of Map Men that surrounds it) is coming to YouTube this afternoon! Stay tuned...
