Not bad.
Not as good as 2010, but pretty damn good all the same.
Especially because of my recent holiday & my wife’s cake successes.
It’s also that time of year where people in the ad community make a bunch of predictions about what will be big – or will have been big – this time next year.
As I’ve said before, I hate that sort of shit because if you disagree with them, they just say, “it hasn’t happened yet so wait and see” … so as I can’t beat them, I’m going to join them by saying my prediction for this time next year is we’ll have had another 12 months of talking the same old shit except we’ll all be using a bunch of new, improved, shiny names to describe it all because adland and the plannersphere think that’s all it takes to impress the masses and keep our intelligent delusions alive.
The end. [Of this post and quote possibly our industry]

Comment by andy@cynic December 20, 2011 @ 6:33 amthis blog is a weapon of mass fucking suicide.
Comment by andy@cynic December 20, 2011 @ 6:34 amOnly you could illustrate an end of year review with a calender featuring a 30 day month, thus reminding us that your year ends in September or starts in April which, given your endless holiday reports, we already knew.
Comment by John December 20, 2011 @ 6:36 amNovember – not September.

Comment by andy@cynic December 20, 2011 @ 6:51 amAnd he wrote quote possibly instead of quite. Or it was a rubbish pun.
Comment by Northern December 20, 2011 @ 6:40 amlook at northern paying attention to fucking detail. waking up at 3am to change shitty nappies suits you but shouldnt you be able to use the fucking shitter like a normal adult by now?
and campbell doesnt do puns. he doesnt fucking do anything.
Comment by andy@cynic December 20, 2011 @ 6:43 amEyes like a hawk. Or an empty life. Which is it Doddsy?

Comment by andy@cynic December 20, 2011 @ 6:39 amWell deserved.
Comment by John December 20, 2011 @ 6:43 amJust you wait until the mind numbing Kidd tv shows. There will come a point when you actually learn to enjoy them, that’s when you know you’re well and truly doomed to a life of mpv’s and toy cars cunningly hidden to cause maximum injury when you trip over them
Comment by Northern December 20, 2011 @ 6:47 amIn other news I’ve been left in charge of the kids while mrs northern goes at to drink and cackle with her friends. Both kids are alive, in bed and happy. I don’t know why she pretends all this is so hard
nice macho bollocks there groper only let down by soon the same bollocks you just accused campbell of, writing “at” instead of “out”. what the fuck is it with you planner types or is it a bald bastard thing?
Comment by andy@cynic December 20, 2011 @ 6:53 amI can claim sleep deprivation something you’ll become good friends with very soon
Comment by Northern December 20, 2011 @ 6:59 am(chuckles evilly)
you cant wake up when youre in nyc and the beautiful fucking parasites are in blanada.
Comment by andy@cynic December 20, 2011 @ 7:45 amWhat Andrew failed to mention is that he will be spending Christmas day with my family. He claims it is his present to us, we are still assessing that view.
Comment by George December 20, 2011 @ 8:24 amthe only fucking reason you invited me is so you can see my face as your 3 little girls turn into killer sharks as they devour their christmas presents under the tree and then spend the whole day screaming loudly and demanding i play whatever overpriced toy youve succumbed to buying for them. bastard.
Comment by andy@cynic December 20, 2011 @ 8:27 amYou should film it, the DVD’s would fly off the shelves and you’d make a fortune. Except in China – where you’d be able to get it for a fraction of the price, probably before you’d even finished filming it.
Comment by Rob December 20, 2011 @ 8:36 amYour last paragraph is so true Robert. Another year of adland renaming or reclaiming approaches or techniques that have been in existence for decades. Behavioral economics anyone?
I’m not sure if this is your last post of the year or not, but happy holidays to you and Jill and everyone who has made this blog so interesting for the last year.
Not enjoyable. Interesting.

Comment by andy@cynic December 20, 2011 @ 8:29 amPete said what I wanted to say but happy holidays to everyone, I’ll be contributing to the mayhem much more in ’12.
Comment by Bazza December 20, 2011 @ 8:10 amAll I care about is seeing this tattoo you claim you’ve had so you can pretend you’re me. Gay.
Comment by Billy Whizz December 20, 2011 @ 8:18 amInteresting way to come out Billy.
Comment by John December 20, 2011 @ 8:23 ambillys not gay. hes too fucking ugly to be gay.

Comment by Mike See December 20, 2011 @ 10:09 amIt was a pleasure to read almost every post here this year. Good job Rob and thank you. I won’t go into details but this blog has changed me a little bit and in a good way.
Special thanks goes to the cheerleading team and of course the captain of the team. You have showed top form this year guys. Keep it that way.
So, happy holidays everybody and see you soon, in 2012.
