Following on from my twixt Christmas and New Year post, I happened across this reverie today. Doubly impressive from an American I’d say!

It warms the so-called cockles of my heart that IRN-BRU is such a charmingly fundamental part of Christmas up here. In the twixt Christmas lull, I was idling over twitter commentary on BRU yesterday and there’s an astonishing amount. Fuelled by the current Carnival in Glasgow.

And today I was happy to find a reverential post from this incredibly cool looking family. Read and marvel at the tiny part we / they play in making Christmas a tiny bit more Christmassy (maybe).

I’m just looking through some online qual research that the fine guys and girls at face have engineered and moderated for us.

The qual was conducted with the Young. And I’m looking through various blog posts and wondering why now and again, they feature a capital D for no particular reason at the end of a sentence.

And then I look again at one particular cap D and I realise to my ageing horror that it’s a : D

How to make yourself feel old.

I’ve had a veritable abundance of ads on TV recently. Nice when it works out like that. Of course, I cavalierly say “I” when in fact, I’ve had some small tenuous association with their initial creation of the scripts but little more involvement than that. Nonetheless, I still feel that delightful flutter when I see them on air.

So the most recent addition to the airwaves was for the Scottish Government and is designed to raise awareness of new legislation intended to protect adults at risk of harm. An incredibly thorny issue as you can imagine but a couple of rounds of creative testing research later, we found ourselves with rather an elegant solution courtesy of gentleman of the agency, Andy Archer. David Eustace directed and did a very fine job. Judge for yourselves here.

In case you missed it last night, the Can Clan extravaganza can now be found here.

For all those that didn’t make it along to IRN-BRU’s Guinness World Record attempt for the largest ever can-can last Sunday, a glorious technicoloured two minute and thirty second rendition of the attempt will be airing on STV thrice only this week.

Spot times are:
Monday 21st Sept 20.58 - end of Coronation Street
Tuesday 22nd Sept 11.05 - centre break of Journey To The Edge Of The World
Wednesday 23rd Sept 21.15 - centre break of movie What A Girl Wants

Do not miss it!!

Cue a frenzy of bad puns. Here is The Sun with the first of them (but a glowing article so they must be forgiven).

The Can Clan is looming. We got another nice little piece in yesterday’s Sun. And the weather looks set to be practically tropical so you have no excuse not to join us. It’s not every day that you get to be part of a world record.
