Be Excellent To Each Other

Every marketing person I've had to deal with has this to some degree or another...

Yes. You draw it on the chart or the whiteboard for the next person to find.

Oh, thank Gods

Yeah, I fell for it.

Now I'm in on the joke, I think I might pass it on sometime - when the moment's right. Or just buy Cras's t-shirt.

The Summer installment of this years Games Done Quick is currently streaming for anyone interested. I've got it sitting in the corner of my screen currently brightening up my day with an expert speed run of Contra III.

For the uninitiated, it's a biannual charity events that sees people speedrun games from all diffferent eras over the course of a week. The full schedule of stuff to be played is here:

I think I'm going to stick that on a whiteboard tomorrow.
I particularly like the 5 sided hexagon

Well, here's an example of a company completely not understanding its market and customers:

BBC:"Eurostar defends alcohol limits on trains"



The problem is that unless you want to pay £30 and faff around with their baggage despatch service, under this policy there's no way to carry a case of wine (for example) home. On a service that most people lug their own suitcases on to, you'd be breaking their rules even if you have no intention of drinking six bottles on the trip. If the problem is people drinking too much on the trains, the staff already have sufficient powers to deal with it.

The Twitter-rage suggests that it isn't being enforced very much, but still adds a layer of anxiety about getting stuff confisicated onto something that's supposed to be more relaxing than flying.

It’s a fantastic level of overreach. The only reason they’re scanning your bags is for weapons and that’s also the only circumstance that they can find out you’re packing spirits.

That said, I’ve encountered far more obnoxiously drunk people on my handful of Eurostar journeys compared to the many flights I’ve taken over the years.

Today I'm being paid overtime for the hours 9am-1pm. Which is a bit odd as I'm here anyway.

I got paid overtime yesterday and still finished on time.

Fucking Hell, a famous just walked by.

Off you go.

Were they wearing trousers?

Was it the entire cast of Hollyoaks?

Yes.

TV personality?

Yup.

How many questions do we get?

You don't get any.

That feels very much like bullying

My bullies were obviously more committed than yours

Over 40?

Yup.

17.

Male?

No.

16.

Presenter?

Yeah.

15.

On TV BEFORE Midday?

Jo Brand

Don't think so.

14

Sports related?

No.

13

She’s not really a presenter, more a comedian. I’m assuming presenter to be a regular presenter, not a guest presenter on HIGNFY, because sportsmen, politicians etc could all be labelled presenter thstvway.

Is she from a contest show (bake off, X Factor, Sewing Bee, etc)

Wait, is that a question for me?

Also, Jo Brand is totally a presenter now.

Instead of being funny, does she constantly shout and pretend to be stupid?

Is she? Sorry. Of what? I didn’t know she presented, sorry.

And yes, the question was for you.

Jo Brand presents Bake Off Extra Slice. I can't remember the last time she did (or tried to do) comedy.

Anyway, the person I saw doesn't present any show like that.

12

News presenter?

No. 11.

No. She does have red hair, though.

10

Theresa May.

Hahaha.

Alice Levine?

Nah, she's a radio presenter.

Or does she have a TV gig now (beside the HBO one-off)? I love her.

I have met her, actually, but Craster was there cramping my style.

You have a style?

By which you mean she only had eyes for me.
