This is a great idea. I hope it catches on & gets rid of the people at the entrances to tube stations who shove (literally) the free papers at you. Can’t they have nice baskets for you to pick up at your leisure like the Metro? Books are great. I look forward to findingContinueContinue reading “tube reads”

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.

Privium has been named as a cool brand in the Cool Branding 2007 awards. Privium basically takes a copy of your iris’ so you can peer into a scanner at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam and walk straight through border control without queuing. Awesome. It is a little weird carrying your iris’ on a card though.ContinueContinue reading “privium | cool branding 2007”

i still hate BA
I don’t enjoy travelling with BA ever since I went to Italy on holiday and had to sit in the most filthy cabin I’ve ever experienced. What’s more, the cabin crew were the most surly bunch of gets I had ever come across. Since then I’ve tried to avoid them wherever possible. And I wasContinueContinue reading “i still hate BA”
