Tomorrow – Friday 27th February – on the MSN.co.uk homepage, the world’s largest eyebrow dance-off will commence.

JiveBrow09 will be hosted by MSN and www.aglassandahalffullproductions.com giving you the chance to have your eyebrows “plucked” from obscurity via your webcam, and have your high-brow facial moves displayed to millions online!

Some very funky technology will be in play here including  “B-Brow”, the world’s first “eyebrowser” and a re-edit of the TV ad where the kids only dance when you’re not looking.

This is certainly an event not to miss and is sure to raise a few……erm………eyebrows!

🙂

Back From Holiday & Roaring to Go!

roaring-lion

Ashley and I are back from 2 weeks in South Africa, refreshed and full of the joys of Spring!

This photo is one of the highlights of our trip – spending 20 minutes that close to a fully grown male lion was quite an amazing experience!

We’ve now got 2000 photos to wade through, and will be boring friends and family for the next 6 months until our marriage when we’ll start all over again with the wedding photos!

Between now and then there’s much going on including, starting tomorrow, SES London 2009 which I will be attending at full throttle!

I don’t know about you, but given the choice of fine wine, gargantuan steaks and seafood all served under blue skies in 85 degree heat and an SEM conference in a cold and grey corner of North London, I know which one I’d choose!

🙂

See you there?!

The Curve Theatre – Leicester

Speaking at De Montfort University last week was a joy! The students were good listeners (they had to be as I banged on well over my allotted time) and Diane Taylor, their esteemed doctor of humanities and media, was a great hostess.

I was given a tour of The Curve Theatre, a brand-spanking-new entertainment hub in the town which towered into the mid-day blue sky with a curious infinity-like grace.

I’m not normally in awe of modern architecture but could have craned my neck at it for hours! IMAGE_078

And The “I’m A PC” T-Shirt & Sticker Winners Are……

You may remember the contest I posted last week? Well the votes are in and I’m please to announce the winners are:

Matthew – AKA http://www.twitter.com/screename for “I’m A Graphic Designer” – good luck with the course and remember, there’s lots you can be learning while you’re working at McDonalds too!!

Gary Robinson – for “I’m A Socialist!” – very clever play on words! Maybe Matthew could mock up some T-Shirts with his new found graphic design skills!

CIMG2200 All I need now are your addresses, so contact me through my contact form and I’ll send the prizes out ASAP!

Thanks for everyone who participated! 

And please….no Kate Winsletesque acceptance speeches! 🙂

 

Woolworths Refund Helpline Number

IMAGE_076 Further to my Woolworths Eulogy a couple weeks back, I was passing a store in Putney which was all boarded up with signs about refunds.

Obviously if all the stores are now closed, there’s nowhere to turn if you bought something in the “Woolrush” and want to exchange or refund it!

There is a helpline number – 0844 8117 112 – if you found something dodgy in your pick ‘n’ mix. 🙂

I wonder how much the www.woolworths.co.uk domain name is worth though?

How much would you pay for it?

OK! Who Buried the Cars?!!

Out Front!

We are seriously SNOWED IN! 🙁

Garden

Seriously surrounded front and back…..and it just keeps coming!

Might be having mac ‘n’ cheese tomorrow if we can’t get to the supermarket! 🙂

Happy Christmas 2008 From Mel & Ashley!

This is Ashley’s icicle-covered house in Seattle and the city is bracing itself for yet more snow!

As we batten down the hatches, I just wanted to say on behalf of myself and my fiancée:

Happy Chrimbo and we’ll see you in 2009!!!

🙂
