Extendable shoes.....

Now I don't have kids, but this design is genius.

I remember as a child having the trainers I loved being either given away or thrown out (depending on the wear and tear) Now I know I shouldn't get sentimental about trainers but I was only about 6 and it was quite strange that after seeing this site, those memories were brought back.

Does Adidas have help line - I think I need to have this out with them.

The Crusader

The Crusader - a very funny short film - these guys, Neil Carter and Gerard Monaco should do very well.

If there are any art loving people out there willing to support this kind of work then please get in touch with me and we can discuss.

I for one will be backing their success.

Ad's......they're easy to make, just watch.

As the sun is shining and we are nearing Cannes - bikini's, dresses, linen suits and ego's being packed in unequal proportions, this little snippet will give you an insight into the trials and tribulations of life as a Director.

Next week I'll be showing you creative and production teams beating on client services for over promising timescales to clients.

EURO 2008 - yes Scotland should be there you're right.

Now, I thought he was doing a splendid job, I've no idea why you sacked him.

Him being Steve McClaren you understand.

So with that in mind, why have the BBC got him going over to Austria and Switzerland as a pundit?

Who the hell came up with that idea? It is, and this is as a Scotsman you understand, unbelievable. Out of all the people you could have asked who could have added great insight, some idiot at the BBC with nil (read zero) understanding or knowledge of football picks the weather man Steve.

Probably the same arse that asked Gary to do the golf.

Can you please own up, don't blame a committee or do any finger pointing and promise to do your job better.

Or you could do what most of your fans want Steve to do.....don't make me spell it out.

Congratulations to Zoe Hough & Miranda Abbs plus Enrique Reija & Borja Alvarez

Congratulations to Zoe Hough & Miranda Abbs plus Enrique Reija & Borja Alvarez.

Two teams of young creatives representing the UK have swept the board at the Best Young European Team (Best YET) contest in Stockholm.

Zoe Hough and Miranda Abbs from agency Lean Mean Fighting Machine, beat 19 other creative groups from across Europe to win the gold award.The other UK team, Enrique Reija and Borja Alvarez of St Lukes, came in second.

Great to see young talent in the UK being recognised. Would love to see more of it on other platforms.

I know that Iain Tait has talked about this previously on his blog and whilst this is a personal blog I would like to talk to junior teams and individuals about work - but you'll need to go via my linkedin contact details

Bob Greenberg at the D&AD

So Bob, or Uncle Bob as Simon Waterfall lovingly called him, talked to the D&AD at Logan Hall last night.

He was a joy to listen to and it was thoroughly engaging to see the history of R/GA unfold. His influences, there are many and varied. His understanding, where and why he moved on at certain times, based on numerology (he works on 9 year cycles if you must know), and his passion to continue to create ground breaking work.

What I admired most about him was his appreciation for others and his admiration for their work and their professions.

A true gentleman and Simon you were right - he is Uncle Bob.
