January 2026 – What a Month
Well done for getting through the first month of this year. I feel like we all need a big pat on the back, a hearty handshake, a frothy milkshake and / or a massive bag of mini eggs.

Advertising Chocolate
Alright these bastards are bastards that know what they’re bastard doing. Bastards. Advertising is a thing because it works.

The Story Dad Never Told
There was a story Dad never told. He was good at telling stories, anecdotes, funny happenings. He liked to be front and centre, really enjoyed his acting when he finally started, and generally kept those around him engaged. I’m sure there was eye rolling at times as he wandered off on a story he hadContinue reading “The Story Dad Never Told”
