Best Christmas lights ever (Thanks, K).

An awesome roundup of 2010’s movies, and an object lesson in editing (thanks, M):

This is a lovely Christmas tune:

Interesting Facebook map of the world (thanks, G).

Lego Black Ops (Thanks, D):

Jimmy Saville summed up in a song (thanks, J):

Stunning fluid sculpture (Thanks, same J).

Best Schwarzenegger quotes (‘Get your ass to Mars’ wins for me):



Wondering which side of the Wikileaks debate you should take?



Here’s some well-written food for thought:

(Thanks, whoever left it on my blog yesterday.)

And for a little more food for thought, here’s a very funny blog.



Odd

I’ve been getting emails about a link or something that appears on this site then goes to another site that’s eerily all about me (there are a few mentions in this comments section).

To be honest, I’m a bit confused. I haven’t had this link appear on my site so I haven’t seen what it’s about, but I’ve now had a bunch of emails asking what it’s for.

Dunno.

Has someone got the link to the actual site? Or maybe a screen grab?

I’m intrigued.



Tis the season to… treat dogs in a somewhat questionable manner?

After the John Lewis furore I’m not 100% sure this is the wisest move for another department store (thanks, L):



I like this ad

It’s got so much in it, you need a second, third or eighteenth watch to take it all in, and the music (Dracula by Basement Jaxx) is ‘well bangin”.

But it’s the one that most befuddles my head as I try to imagine what the script said.

Come on Rich, what does this look like in words?

The News Of The World Literary Supplement

And there’s also a kind review on Amazon.



Today’s thing for the weekend is the best agency christmas card I’ve ever seen:

Voila.

(Thanks, ALS.)



WHSmith, Paddington, Today.

(Thanks, G.)

Fill your boots, my friends, fill your motherfucking boots.



Today is the motherfucking day.

When I finished this book I tried to get an agent interested.

And I decided to write a blog about that process.

It’s an interesting read in retrospect. You’ll discover that Instinct was initially called Insecticide (too long for the cover of a book of this genre, apparently) and you’ll find that one of the early posts featured the first few chapters of the book, which have since changed substantially, but will give you a rough idea of what you will definitely be buying.

And have no fear, foreign readers. It’s also on sale in Hong Kong, India, USA, Australia, SpainSouth AfricaNew Zealand, a slightly cheaper place in India and Tesco.

Please enjoy reading it as much as I’m going to enjoy drinking a lot of alcohol this evening.
