Just stretching my legs John. I've been TV spammed by a client today. I had to sit through the same programme three times because he can't remember the first time he saw it. As you see from the post above, a week with him has had no affect on me, no affect on me, no affect on me...

Kev

Should that have read "Good morning Mr Parker, your mission, should you choose to accept, is to…this message will not self delete." (Apologies to any purists out there for the Mission:Impossible theme) Basically the short of it is scan and move on, scan and comment. Do as much as you want to. No one is keeping tabs, are they?

Hi George,

Putting Twitter, and online to one side at the moment, if we just look at how many ads fall short of the target audience and how many hit bullseye, it's understandable that anyone, new, old, young, or even unborn should now and then get vexed with Twitter and online. If advertising is "rattling a stick in a bucket of swill" to make a noise, then Twitter and online can only be compared as "dropping a grenade in a sewage farm".

At the end of the day, regardless of volume, it's all Sxxx, but some of it sticks, and the bigger your bucket of swill (eg sewage farm) the more you stand to get back for your buck. For those of us who have been down the well-trodden path, it's just more of the same. Years ago I had only one dustbin outside my house. Now I have three. My sister has five! I just had to become ruthless about trashing stuff, because I simply don't have the time or inclination to read every whimsical nuance of the inner workings of the man in the street's brain. Reading has become a much more selective process for me. If, as some suggest, the CIA monitors all this stuff, It should be due for a mental breakdown at any moment. I'd suggest a new coffee filter, and practice of the delete button.

"Please delete this message after you have read it." is the new way forward.

@James...

I read somewhere once that during an interview Alec Guinness was asked some rather esoteric questions about his role in Star Wars, and if he accepted it for some deep psychological reason... His answer was... "Oh no, dear boy. I did it for the money." Ha, fucking classic, that would have been my answer also. I am, after all, an AdHo.

Cheers/George

Did someone say bah humbug. Is it christmas already. Just kidding George. Love your stuff. Use the force. That never fails (except that one time when everyone got killed and there were only two guys left and one was a small creature living in a swamp and the other was Alec Guinness in a cave...but other than that it never fails).

Thanks guys...

I think you all just proved my point... Well, except for Gordan and Media Village... Who will also one day, get left behind... It's called evolution. Time to smell the roses.

Cheers/George

George old man, I sympathise. Whilst I could never have the following you get, I do get my fair share of followers who think I'm interested in online sex and extramarital dating. If you give up Twitter, you'll have more time on your hands, so if you like, I'll refer the twits'n'ass blaggers to you.

I confess to being old school. I can play guitar and drums but I'm s**t at Guitar & Band Hero. My step-son can't play any instrument at all but he gets standing ovations on 'Hero. Mind you he's very jealous of what I can do with GarageBand. Embrace what you enjoy.

Take a break maybe. Just don't go off air all together.

All the best, man.
