Don't fall asleep whilst cooking dinner...


What a jam packed week/weekend, we've finally had some time off to sit back and take a view on 2008 as a whole, time to rest and time to prepare ourselves for the forth coming year. Full up with christmas dinners, no doubt there's more to come! It'll be January before long - full of new and exciting possibilities, we'll see where the new year takes us!

The staff christmas party was a great laugh, a few drinks, some mussels, lobster, fine dining, followed up by a sprinkle of Gogol Bordello, champagne and a VIP lounge and the odd drunken stupor (I promised Phil I wouldn't mention any names). Nice.

Whilst the advent calendars are nearly empty, and santa tries to squeeze his way down your chimney, on behalf of both of us...

Merry Christmas 2008!

And remember kids... Don't fall asleep drunk whilst cooking dinner, it could end in tears.

Mike.

Nice little thought...





I don't even know what day it is...



Now seemed like a good time to get back to the blog, time just seems to fly on by doesn't it? So much so that the thought of the week has become the thought of the month...

So much has gone on in the last few weeks since the last posted - I genuinely have no idea where to start.

Well after the mix up, Phil and I got back to working with each other. Having both been quite successful with our respective partners, we got back into the swing of things and sunk our teeth into a re-pitch for the whole week with an integrated campaign/ branding idea. Branding is kind of nice every now and again, especially when you have complete freedom to do what you want, it's all advertising though right? The result, it seemed to go down a storm in the agency, most people liked it, in both accounts and creatives depts, which is always a nice :) We'll probably find out how that goes in a little while, perhaps once we're back - and if it doesn't run we'll pop it up on here for some fun.

We've now finished at My Agency for Christmas. After a chat with the ECD, we've been asked to come back after christmas. A total of 4 months in the grand scheme of things, which isn't bad going, our work has been well received and we've made friends with some bloody great people. The days have been long and the nights longer, polishing it off with an hour journey home after work simply finishes me off. It gives us a bit of time to sort things out

Most this week we've been hot stepping it over to NABS this week for a multitude of reasons, lining stuff up for when we get back, getting some free print outs, but mainly hammering out some new strategies to mull over the hols. We even managed to get roped into to hanging the fairy lights in the reception. (compliments are welcome - disprovals too). Didn't take long and it's all for a good cause so we don't mind. We happened to bump into Rory from the Talent Business for a good ole natter, whilst he was overseeing the Lonely Hearts book club - sorry if we took up anyone's time!

Anyhow, we're off to the Work Christmas soirée on Thurs for a spot of Belgium food and then to see Gogol Bordello for a bit of caberet, punk, dub at the Round House. I'll report back on how that one turns out...
