So this is the final full week before Christmas – and the final week of me writing this blog for the year.
Don’t worry, I’m not going to write some ‘end-of-year’ round up … I’ll be doing that on Friday, ha … so as I’ve been away for the last week, I thought I’d just have a brain dump [or just a dump] of things that I’ve noticed over the past 5-7 days.
OK, first of all I have to mention my best mate Paul. Again.
No – there won’t be any pointing of people to any more humiliating and embarrassing photos like this … or this … oh no, this time I want to praise him for buying the most inappropriate birthday gift EVER.
After coming back from a trip to Australia – a trip he DIDN’T take his wife on – he arrived back just in time to give his lovely other half her birthday present.
She was so excited as it was a massive gift, all carefully wrapped up and looking lovely.
“What could it be?” she said as she looked lovingly into her husbands eyes – only to quickly turn into Satan as she realised the gift he’d ‘lovingly’ bought her was a KITCHEN BIN!
Yes, a KITCHEN BIN!
And what’s worse, it was a a ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY QUID kitchen bin!!!
Despite his pleas that she’s mentioned previously that she wanted one, he was advised not to unpack from his holiday as he was going to be leaving the house very soon, hahahahaha!
Putting aside the fact it was a ‘designer bin’ [though why anyone would pay that much for something you put your rubbish in is beyond me] what on earth was he thinking?
Even Andy isn’t that bad – though he did think Scott Biao was rather cool for once buying Pamela Anderson a vacuum cleaner for Valentine’s day.
And they say romance is dead …
Thanks Paul – I can basically do anything I want now and still not look as bad as you do, hahaha!

Here’s a lovely photo found by the wonderful Scott
You should check his blog out – it’s toptastic and I’m not just saying that because he’s working with me at the moment.
OK it is … but hey, it’s Christmas so I’m being ‘nice’. Ahem.

8am. Shanghai. Another beautifully polluted day!

Is this the most depressing ‘Christmas Cheer’ office entrance ever?
It looks more like Satan’s grotto than Santa’s!

So you go to some fancy pants restaurant that supposedly has views that only god should be able to see and what do you get?
And if that wasn’t bad enough, the food was shite!

Have a look at this ad running in Singapore at the moment …
So let me get this straight – given there’s a golf ball supposedly smashing into the bus shelter and the words WATCH OUT are screaming out – it seems what they’re actually saying is the BEST WOMEN GOLFERS are a load of shit!
Hmmmmn, not in the least bit sexist eh!
I bet $50 it was a load of men who both wrote and approved this shit. I’m surprised they didn’t go the whole hog and write …
IF YOU FANCY HAVING A LAUGH, COME AND SEE THE BEST WOMEN GOLFERS PLAY IN SINGAPORE.
THEY’RE SERIOUSLY SHIT BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN CHECK OUT THEIR ARSES EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE BOUND TO BE LESBIANS.
GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN BITCHES, YOU’VE GOT THE VOTE, WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?

Write, that’s a nice bit of potpourri ranting for the day.
I have quite alot I want to shout about this week but I promise the rest won’t be as disjointed as today’s post was/is.
Then again, even when I write about single subjects it tends to go off on tangents that even a protractor can’t work out, so at least I have an excuse for today’s bouncing around.
See you tomorrow – it’s nice to be back. Sort of, ha!
PS: Huge ‘good luck’ to NP [not that he’ll need it] for his new job at TBWA.
What with him and Freddie, they might actually be able to live up to their ‘great work through disruption’ moniker 🙂
