The haunted look of a boy who has just realised the true power of the dark side. Who would have thought that a powerful Sith Lord would live in Joppa, Edinburgh and be the son of a ginger?!
Expecting a call from George Lucas any time to cast Ethan Max Cole as the star of Star Wars 7: The Return of Evil…..
Phil : Paul, I’m going to take a picture of your shirt for the blog.
Paul : Meh.
Phil : The camera loves you.
Paul : Meh.
Phil : I can link to your Twitter or blog if you like.
Paul : Meh
Phil : The fourth most popular Urban Dictionary definition of what you keep saying to me suggests that, amongst other options, you’re dropping heavy hints to the effect of “look bitch I really don’t care so just shut the fuck up.”
Paul : Meh.
Phil : This is getting vaguely childish.
Paul : Meh.
Phil : I’m getting indifferent to your indifference. So is our reader.
Paul : Meh.
Phil : Meh.
Thursday’s child is Charlie, one of our creative team.
Charlie is obsessed with Thursdays and apparently has a wardrobe full of identical Thursday T-shirts, which, to be fair to him, he only ever wears on Thursdays.
Unlike the pack of colour-coded and day-of-week-monogrammed socks I was once given. Making the effort to wear Monday’s socks on Mondays was always a bit too anally retentive for my liking.
According to the rhyme, Thursday’s child “has far to go.” And certainly we told Charlie that he would go far when we were at the phase of more or less saying anything to get him to join Blonde.
According to Google, there are lots of other interesting things about Thursday’s Child.
It is a song by David Bowie.
It’s also an American organisation (with a slightly disturbing website) that provides support for endangered teens.
It remains to be seen whether Charlie will name a child after his favourite day of the week. But in the meantime he has dedicated his blog to it.
Nick is a right “drum”.
Not sure whether “drum kit” is actually the basis for any Cockney rhyming slang but I bet we could all think of some options that would apply to Mr Cole…
It’s been a while. The You Are What You Shirt category has gathered dust and cobwebs. But this morning’s fire drill presented this opportunity, courtesy of Roy.
The devil is in the detail. Read the small print.
Opinion is divided on this one.
My eldest daughter is of an age where she thinks it’s not cool to be keen.
I keep telling her “It is, it is.”
Isn’t it?
It’s been a while since we posted in this category.
This one has been hanging around since the Summer Party. Finance Director Keith was in the Geeks group.
Andy’s commemorating arguably the best football referee ever – Italy’s Pierluigi Collina.
He’s also noting his uncanny resemblance to our very own Gary, the man who kickstarted this blog category back in January.
The similarity is only skin-deep however. Collina is famous for never being wrong about anything to do with football.
Our finance director is a bit of a joker. (He really is).
However, rather than “Why so serious?“, his catchphrase based on this picture is “Why so glaikit?”
He’s at it again. At least he didn’t buy the shirt himself this time. This one was a gift from Scott, brought back from T in The Park.
In another break with tradition when it comes to Nick’s shirts, there may also be a grain of truth in this one. There is certainly a significant proportion of mums within the demographics of Facebook users.
