I love these new Curry's ads. There's that universal in here that everyone has dreams of another life, of what might have been, no matter how happy they might with the one they're living. And even more fundamental, people are perfectly capable of having two opposing principles, or points of view at the same.…

I went to see Ryan Adams (NOT, I repeat NOT Byan) the other night at the O2 Academy in Leeds. Rather good in case you're interested. I like gigs like this, nice to be surrounded by my own people or so to speak. But that's not the point I want to make. You see, leaving…

So I went to see Queen last night. Sort of against my will. Campbell dared me to confront my prejudice and I accepted, only to find him putting his money where my mouth was. It wasn't totally hateful. I took my sister and it made her happy. If anything made it worthwhile, it was that. …

One of my many failings is my useless sense of direction. SATNAV and Google Maps are a godsend for a numpty like me. Blatant excuse to show this………. I was lucky though to have grown up in a time when there were not the tools to do it for you. The AA Route planner…

Just following on from this post about doing as much stuff as you can, in the hope something unexpected and good will come of it.. The evil genius Rob Campbell somehow goaded me into accepting a challenge to see Queen live in January. For the record, I hate Queen. Really hate them. Maybe irrationally so. …

I’ve worked in quite a few different agencies. Each has been very different, starting with a creative agency getting to grips having to do more than traditional ads, right at the start of the original ‘What do about the internet?” question, when agencies began to think being able to design and build websites. Blogs were…
