I talk about advertising, unionisation, and gaming a lot. I have fur babies and food comas. Prone to an occasional rant (soz).
This is the kind of British weather that makes people emigrate.

This Ottolenghi whole roast cauliflower with tahini sauce recipe was great.

Tried out a new roast chicken technique too, which delivered fantastic crispy skin.

Back into one of the best games of the last ten years.

Had to move seats twice on the train because other people are so fucking annoying.

I‘m a little blessed that my train station to get into London is Castle Cary, and rather than a crap coffee shop chain, I have a fancy restaurant run by The Newt with its own cheesemaker.

We won the pitch where we made the client cry.

Client bought a route with an actual wolf in it, and production just sent a message saying they've found us a wolf.

I have a totally normal job.

Finally getting around to planning our Svalbard trip. It will be after Christmas in 2026.

I think I asked before (maybe on Twitter??), but anyone who has been, please share your tips.

We're planning on getting a package with lots of daily excursions FYI, so any operator reccos, please share.

Looking at my great grandma’s ration book from after the war.

Does anyone have a Thermomix, and if so, what do you use it for? What would you recommend it for? And should I get one?

Client asked for the pitch to stop for a minute earlier so she could wipe the tears from laughter away.

God, I really hope they buy that route.

Might be an unpopular opinion amongst other cricket fans, but to me, the only thing I care about in international cricket is The Ashes.

Win or lose, it never fails to entertain.

Can't quite get my head around how the entire John Lewis Christmas decorations department costs roughly 1000x what it costs to make.

This is a cheap, crappy plastic wreath. How is it worth £90?

The whole Christmas shop is like this.

Crap products with extra zeros on their price tags.

The word “celebrity“ does a lot of heavy lifting on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

I’m not saying I need to be on a diet, but we bought a load of nice Christmas sweets and we’ve eaten them all already.

Ordered some Charbonnel drinking chocolate because winter is here, the fire is lit and my pyjamas are ready.

Went down a weird rabbit hole looking at large-scale agricultural machinery, and my god, some of these things are sooooo cool.

Wondering if Farming Simulator 2025 might be my next obsession. 🤔

I mean, if you're one of the large, long-term shareholders in WPP, you're seeing the lowest share price since the mid-90s and no clear path to growth.

You'd probably think your best option is to bring in a CEO tasked with selling the company at the highest valuation they can get, and getting out.
November 17, 2025 at 4:13 PM
So it seems WPP’s McKinsey moment is less “tell us how to make money” and more “help us sell”.

Some recent clouds I liked.

I'm so happy for Rosalia and this new album. It's just incredible.
