This one might be a little more for the ladies. Everyone knows Trinny and Susannah and many (apperently) love them so here is a taster of their new online comedy that The Guardian claims is part Alan Partridge, part The Office, part The Thick of It - could be good, you decide. What do you think?

I’m left wondering if they really did this, or if it is CGI? I’m hoping the former is true!

Feed The Animals →
A wonderful someone-or-other has created a code that lists all songs in the Mix-mash album ‘Feed the Animals’ by Girl Talk; using data from Spotify and iTunes. It seems to work really nicely, and for those people (like myself) who are always going ‘What IS that song?’ it’s a tremendous help. Plus, good music never hurt anyone! get over there and get your rave on,...

As a copywriter, I try and correct my typo’s and bad grammar (I do often get it wrong) I don’t mind being corrected too much as long it’s not a public correction, which leaves me feeling a bit, well, thick. I’m still learning! Translation is however another kettle of fish. Some of these are hilarious, my favourites by miles are “i’m cock” emblazoned on a...
