UPDATE: Check out JiveBrow09 NOW!

http://specials.uk.msn.com/jivebrow

Tomorrow – Friday 27th February – on the MSN.co.uk homepage, the world’s largest eyebrow dance-off will commence.

JiveBrow09 will be hosted by MSN and www.aglassandahalffullproductions.com giving you the chance to have your eyebrows “plucked” from obscurity via your webcam, and have your high-brow facial moves displayed to millions online!

Some very funky technology will be in play here including  “B-Brow”, the world’s first “eyebrowser” and a re-edit of the TV ad where the kids only dance when you’re not looking.

This is certainly an event not to miss and is sure to raise a few……erm………eyebrows!

🙂

If you’ve not seen the video ad yet check it out below!

Just some of the photos from our trip to the Sabi Sands game lodge Arathusa near the Kruger National Park – 3 days and nights we’ll never forget!

Some highlights and pictures of the “Big Five”…….

Ashley and I are back from 2 weeks in South Africa, refreshed and full of the joys of Spring!

This photo is one of the highlights of our trip – spending 20 minutes that close to a fully grown male lion was quite an amazing experience!

We’ve now got 2000 photos to wade through, and will be boring friends and family for the next 6 months until our marriage when we’ll start all over again with the wedding photos!

Between now and then there’s much going on including, starting tomorrow, SES London 2009 which I will be attending at full throttle!

I don’t know about you, but given the choice of fine wine, gargantuan steaks and seafood all served under blue skies in 85 degree heat and an SEM conference in a cold and grey corner of North London, I know which one I’d choose!

🙂

See you there?!

You may remember Ashley and I filmed an episode of the BBC’s property show – Escape To The Country – back in October.

Well we’ve been told the series we’re in starts on 23rd February!

We don’t have a definite date yet, but take a look at these photos for an idea of what to expect!

Speaking at De Montfort University last week was a joy! The students were good listeners (they had to be as I banged on well over my allotted time) and Diane Taylor, their esteemed doctor of humanities and media, was a great hostess.

I was given a tour of The Curve Theatre, a brand-spanking-new entertainment hub in the town which towered into the mid-day blue sky with a curious infinity-like grace.

I’m not normally in awe of modern architecture but could have craned my neck at it for hours!

Product placement at its finest or a bit too cutting? – http://www.veet.com.au/

You may remember the contest I posted last week? Well the votes are in and I’m please to announce the winners are:

Matthew – AKA http://www.twitter.com/screename for “I’m A Graphic Designer” – good luck with the course and remember, there’s lots you can be learning while you’re working at McDonalds too!!

Gary Robinson – for “I’m A Socialist!” – very clever play on words! Maybe Matthew could mock up some T-Shirts with his new found graphic design skills!

All I need now are your addresses, so contact me through my contact form and I’ll send the prizes out ASAP!

Thanks for everyone who participated! 

And please….no Kate Winsletesque acceptance speeches! 🙂

Further to my Woolworths Eulogy a couple weeks back, I was passing a store in Putney which was all boarded up with signs about refunds.

Obviously if all the stores are now closed, there’s nowhere to turn if you bought something in the “Woolrush” and want to exchange or refund it!

There is a helpline number – 0844 8117 112 – if you found something dodgy in your pick ‘n’ mix. 🙂

I wonder how much the www.woolworths.co.uk domain name is worth though?

How much would you pay for it?

We are seriously SNOWED IN! 🙁

Seriously surrounded front and back…..and it just keeps coming!

Might be having mac ‘n’ cheese tomorrow if we can’t get to the supermarket! 🙂

This is Ashley’s icicle-covered house in Seattle and the city is bracing itself for yet more snow!

As we batten down the hatches, I just wanted to say on behalf of myself and my fiancée:

Happy Chrimbo and we’ll see you in 2009!!!

🙂
