DHL - when it absolutely, positively has to be there eventually

I've been engaged in a small hoo-hah with DHL. Trying to get them to answer the phone so I can get a package delivered. Then I realised their typography told me everything I needed to know about their attitude. Look at that big red accusatory 'you' in the 'while you were out we attempted delivery' bit. It's like they're saying it's all my fault. I should have known they were coming. If I was more considerate I'd just wait in on the off chance they'd have a parcel for me. We were there, where were you?

Lovely faded sign from that bit of Soho that's all boarded up and due for redevelopment - opposite the Pollo, near Ed's Easy Diner. Shame.

Robin sent me a great Arsene Wenger word usement:

“…you have to have courage, footballistically and mentally”.

fire

It's one of those things you see nowadays. People out in the cold doing fire drill. This one seems unusually elaborate though.

Adam Morgan's done well for himself.

damn right

I like the attitude of this Travelodge ad. Though I think it's risky asking bleary-eyed commuters - what's the point?
