I’m A Celebrity…Ramblings

I don’t watch ITV’s “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here” but was channel hopping tonight and caught it for a bit and felt compelled to make some observations.
Dani Behr is gorgeous. Simply lush.
What is Martina Navratilova doing in there? She’s arguably the best female tennis player ever. Surely she doesn’t need the publicity?
Likewise why is [...]

Prince - 21 nights book and live CD review

If you like Prince or went to see him last year (as I did) for his 21 night residency at the O2 Arena then you absolutely must buy this book.
Why? Well for one it its gorgeous. It’s a 124 page coffee table type bound book full of lavish photos taken by Prince’s long time collaborator [...]

House of Fraser competiton winner!

Back in July I ran a competition along with House of Fraser whereby affiliates were given the chance to win a £500 shopping spree at their flagship store in Oxford Street. Like a good reporter (cough) I’m delighted to follow up on the story and present to you the winner…James from Quidco!
A couple of days [...]

Thanks Webgains!

Webgains were generous last year and have done it again this year. Massive thankyou to all the guys there for the Virginia Hayward Christmas hamper that arrived yesterday.

What I’m listening to right now: Lil’ Wayne ft Bobby Valentino - [...]

A truly sad day - a diesel Porsche

Today is a sad day indeed. Porsche officially announced that from next year they will be launching the Cayenne available for the first time in the devil’s fuel, diesel. Please can we have a minute’s silence.
At least they had the decency to launch it in white in the press photo’s.

To try and take away some [...]

Vodafone Meet LiveGuy promo - treasure hunting web 2.0 style

For those of you who haven’t seen it Vodafone launched quite a low-key viral/promo this week to promote their range of Vodafone Netbooks called Meet LiveGuy.
The idea is quite cool, LiveGuy will be visiting 12 cities in the UK over the next two weeks. He posts clues and photos etc. on the site each day [...]

Stuff

Stuff is a great word isn’t it? I use it loads to describe all sorts of…well stuff.
In this case though it means a collection of news and tidbits that I’ve been reading/thinking about and pondering over the last few days…
I was very glad to see Jeremy Clarkson and co. on this week’s Top Gear agree [...]

6th Gear Supercar Driving Experience Days - thankyou!

I’m writing this post after a fantastic day out at Elvington air field in York courtesy of 6th Gear Supercar Driving Experience. Simon George, their marketing director invited myself, Dave Naylor, Patrick Altoft, Chris Garrett, and Al Carlton for a one-of-a-kind VIP driving experience day, how could I refuse?
Now I’m not just saying this because [...]

Red Letter Days Christmas affiliate incentive - GUARANTEED prizes

Following on from my last blog post, more credit where it is due, this time to Red Letter Days.
This time of year there are loads of affiliate incentives kicking around, but very few are actually any good. Whereby a lot of merchants are giving away an iPod (yawn) for the best improved affiliate (something that [...]

Well done Dialaphone - Affiliate communication done well

It’s coming up to the busiest time of the year when some misguided retailers decide to lower or drop commission altogether on best selling products because they don’t think they need affiliates as certain in-demand products will sell very well on their own at this time of year, thanks very much.
So, what a breath of [...]
