This time Spam must make a choice: will he turn to the dark side? See the mash up video here. Created using the new mash up tool on the updated Star Wars site. Hours of fun. Previously on Spam the Monkey: episode 1, episode 2

take a look at my post bag
After sharing the heroic direct mail deeds of Shane Warne, here’s some more mail from my post bag over the last couple of weeks in a kind of dm review type thing. DMA (Direct Marketing association) – those who remember will know that I have an alter ego in the shape of Ms Nicholas Gill.ContinueContinue reading “take a look at my post bag”
page 3 girl gets poked
Facebook has over-taken that bastion of Britishness, the currant bun (for those across the pond, cockney rhyming slang for the Sun). Impressive growth for the social media network versus sport, boobs and er, more boobs. So, plus ca change? What would be more interesting is to extrapolate this out to users AND readers ofContinueContinue reading “page 3 girl gets poked”
business gobbledygook
I found this hidden away in a corner of some folders I tidied a few weeks back on my laptop. I have no idea where it came from but it made me chuckle and also lament the fading light of “turnkey” and the desire to re-ignite the fire of “interoperable”. Reminds me of the meetingContinueContinue reading “business gobbledygook”
bag full of accessories
I just read a Forrester report on how Sony & BT have teamed up for a project to make the PSP a true communications device. Intended to be targeted at the millenials (those born after 1980 and thus deprived of an education in Bowie) who will naturally gravitate from wireless gaming to using theContinueContinue reading “bag full of accessories”
a splendid riposte
“Your explanation is, to me, a pompous word salad bereft of meaning.” Surely English is the only language to create such gems (no lettuce pun intended)? This was in reponse to the Guardian changing their homepage to look like, well, most other newspaper homepages these days. It’s a very long way down to the bottom.ContinueContinue reading “a splendid riposte”
searching on the radio
Search and radio: two unusual bed fellows you would think. Normally you hear blah blah blah.com but today I heard something different. I must admit the ad itself wasn’t great and was overly long on saying that if you have your tyres at the correct pressure you save on emissions because the engine doesn’tContinueContinue reading “searching on the radio”
crap meeting equipment
Yesterday I had a surprise creds meeting, which is always a treat. But I found myself distracted and embarrassed for the entire duration by the makeshift projector set up. Normally we have nice, ceiling-mounted beamers but it had gone kaput (again). In it’s place sat a replacement projector atop couple of reams of paperContinueContinue reading “crap meeting equipment”
teutonic launch scuppered
A new poster has gone up in Euston underground for Germany Tourism with Owen “I like sweatbands” Hargreaves replacing Sir Geoff Hurst. Unfortunately for the normally efficient Teutonic tourist board, Hargreaves has clearly had enough of the delights of the Rhine and the Bundesliga and wants to play in rainy Manchester. Even Germany’s lastContinueContinue reading “teutonic launch scuppered”
tonking with twitter
I finally gave up and started twittering yesterday. After all, gotta be in it to win it. And all day today it’s been down. I liked the lol cats though, they make it a little less annoying. But surely people will port their twits to other places if this continues? After all, we’ve shiftedContinueContinue reading “tonking with twitter”
