No, I don't want to take part in a survey post a thirty minute call, BA. Ah, the IVR; where brand ideas go to die.

My parents read to me. I read to both of my kids, still. It's one of the great pleasures of parenting.

I don't know, but if the ad targeting worked, it'd realise that whilst everything else is falling into the sea, my hair is both not grey and plentiful.

It's increasingly like the collective id of the advertising agency / marcomms world was unleashed on the broader business world, with all its Dunning Krugerisms..

In another role, I had a former DG of BBC News / Sport. He was a good bloke, quasi wet Tory. Not sure he'd have voted for dear old Kemi.

A former work colleague is now a Tory local councillor (not a common path, that, advertising creative to Tory wannabe MP) and he 'saw' the Kemi conference as a step-change. I mean, fuck knows what he's smoked to get him there, but it's evidently still working.

No, of going to university. I was born into a very MC background. I could not afford to do University as I did twenty four years (!) ago. The article's wrong headed. 93% of people go to State School. Fund them properly.

I see the Guardian are At It Again. State educated West Midlander here. Went to Exeter as an Oxbridge reject, had a great team, acknowledged the confidence of my private school peers. I don't deserve a badge. BUT the bigger issue's the cost now vs. returns. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Absolutely a fair challenge - I think I just a touch depressed at the sheer professionalisation of the student experience. You know what - what I really miss/want more of is more invitations for people in industry to come in and speak. Not a careers advisor who knows an industry from the 1980s.

Judge Doom was up there in film. More disturbing me than frightening, i'd say. Book wise, probably Robin Jarvis' Whitby series.

I think that perhaps this hits hard this morning as my son is off for a residential with his school for a few nights. Even though he's still young, i'm acutely aware about how fast it all goes.

I think, on this gloaming filled morning, the thing i'm most lightly depressed about is the growing prevalence of students writing LinkedIn profiles as 1st or 2nd year undergraduates. ENJOY YOUR TIME. BE A STUDENT. LEARN AND DO NEW THINGS. WORK / LIFE IS LONG, STUDENT TIME IS SHORT.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.
