re: Mincing words

As the old joke goes.. In a Scottish baker's shop.. "Is that a doughnut or a meringue?" "No, you're right, it's a doughnut". Mind you, Tesco isn't all that it seems either in Scotland: www.eveningtimes.co.uk/.../display.var.2535042.0.tesco_left_redfaced_over_flute_band.php

re: Labour Party website not found so lacking (after all)

Good comment, Jeremy. "New Labour" + any of the policies gives a completely different picture too. On the other hand, ("New Labour" + socialism) returns no results. ... sigh.... (Only joking)

re: Could the new Dixons campaign rank amongst the worst advertising ever?

Chris, agree on the warranty thing. When asked if you want to buy a warranty, I usually find the best strategy is to ask loudly in astonishment "you mean you don't expect this product to last more than a year?"

re: Which is more important: Emotion or Logic?

Michael, just back from holidays myself.  I'm sorry you read my post in the way you did.  I was responding to the misapprehension that scientists have run away from the emotional.  They haven't - and it's a pity that they haven't done a better job of communicating what they've done. To go back to Kevin's original point - it is a ...

re: Which is more important: Emotion or Logic?

"For many years Scientists have run away from the emotional..." Hi, Kevin. What a shame that you are not familiar with the massive amount of scientific research on emotions over recent decades.  Start with Edmund Rolls.  Read all the papers he references.  Make sure you cover all of Damasio's work. And, fwiw, William ...

re: The new business dilemma

Thanks, Dave, pretty much agree with everything in your short-long-term blog post. But, let's be honest - there are incompetent clients and incompetent creatives/planners/account-chaps too. I've sat (on both sides) in meetings where client spouts nonsense and no-one round the table has the guts to deal with it - inside or outside the meeting. ...

re: The new business dilemma

Great post, Dave, thanks.   It stimulated two thoughts for me.... Doctoring used to come from an apprentice-based approach, collecting anecdotes and experience.  Not so long ago, they 'discovered' Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). Advertising: anecdote and experience or evidence-based?  Discuss. Secondly, isn't the Principles vs. ...

RE: BR Video: Public says Andy Murray lacks Tim Henman's appeal

And you think Murray is "charmless". EOD.

RE: BR Video: Public says Andy Murray lacks Tim Henman's appeal

Miaow! Nothing wrong my spelling, Jeremy. Just my typing when I'm busy. However, that's easy to fix with a bit of attention. Anger and maturity issues need a bit more work. I do hope you find happiness some day.

RE: BR Video: Public says Andy Murray lacks Tim Henman's appeal

Oh dear. Colonialism still exists apparently. Folk often say the English hate successful people; actually, some some people \(English or not) hate really talented people. The untlaented prefer successful witless wonders. Murray, fwiw, has a droll an dry sense of humour. Often lost on parochial types. Jeremy Lee, I do feel sorry for you - you ...
