ITV and the TicTac takeover

Posting this a little late but was a editorial for a article about when ITV jumped to an ad break in the dying moments of the Everton Vs Liverpool FA cup tie, just as Everton scored the only goal of the game!

Pretty sure the fans hated it but Tic Tac's bosses must have loved the captive audience.

Snow Day!

Snow day in Hackney! Here's a couple of photo's of Mare street I took from the studio window. Note the lack of buses - due to them being completely canceled all day, got to love TFL...

Too much of a good thing will kill you

Here's a editorial piece I've just finished - supposedly 'If you love coffee and drink more than 100 cups in 4 hours you'll probably die.' Hmm... even though the 'probably' is slightly vague, if you ever feel the need to try I would still recommend stopping at the 100 mark.

Luckily I drank no coffee in the making of this illustration, just a bottle of wine so I'll be fine.

Spend today worry tomorrow.

Don't know about anyone else but now Labour have cut VAT by 2.5% I'm going to go out and spend £800 on a 50 inch TV I don't really need cos at a saving of £20 how can you say no?
But at least I'll sleep well knowing I've helped the economy which will obviously no doubt be reciprocated in a year or so when I'm struggling.

Plus with that extra £20 quid I'll nip out and buy a new jumper, that way I'll not have to use the central heating...

F1 Bahrain 2008

All the press were writing that Massa had to perform this weekend otherwise his seat would be under serious threat, well, he answered them with one of his 3 a year barnstormers and left the others in his wake even including his team mate. Kimi struggled all weekend but a solid performance to take 2nd meant that he climbed to the top of the championship leaderboard - which is quite ominous considering where he he was last year at this stage..
Kubica took a surprised and deserved pole and 3rd in the menacing BMW that could very take the title challenge to Ferrari and push Mclaren back a step or two as they struggle to put everything together.
3 week break and back to Barcelona where you really start to find out who's quickest...
