Lovefilm Kettle Chips Competition
This competition has driven me CRAZY over the last week, but thanks to a little help from Twitter and Facebook (thank God for social networking) I have found all the 60 film titles within this picture...
Now to help everyone else, below is an image with ALL the clues numbered. Therefore you can know whether that annoying alarm bell is one and if that 'kick me' sign is...
I am not going to publish my list of films as 1. It's cheating and 2. Kettle Chips probably won't appreciate it much. But, if you need a hint, comment below :)

Celebrities
I have decided to compile a list of some of my most memorable celebrity encounters. They are not in chronological order.
1. David Beckham. David popped into Borders while I was working there a couple of times and was always very polite and low key. He only ever had one security guard with him and SMELT AMAZING. Well done David.
2. Barbara Windsor. I met Babs before she got her role on Eastenders at the opening of a Wyevale Garden Centre in St Albans. I was only around 7 or 8 at the time but I was already a big fan. My granny's idea of childcare was a box of Carry On videos and homemade chips (yum). My favourites were Carry On Henry and Carry On Up The Khyber - cinematic excellence I think you'll agree. Anyway, Babs was lovely and just as you would expect, she gave me a hug and everything.
3. Alan Titchmarsh. Alan was signing copies of his new fiction book (can't remember the title) in Borders on a day I was working. It was coming up to my Mother's birthday so I decided to get him to sign a Happy Birthday message to her in the front of his new book. He was TINY but nice enough. Unfortunately the Titchmarsh fan club can't have got the memo because not many people turned up. But he stayed for a couple of hours looking lonesome, good on ya Alan.
4. Emma Bunton. This final addition to my list was not a pleasant encounter. After atleast a decade of Spice Girl worship (I'm not ashamed) I finally got to meet one of my musical heroes at a local open farm where I was working in the coffee shop.
I eagerly enquired what Ms Bunton would like from the selection and receieved a reply "One Belgian bun". That's right, Bunton wanted a bun. But not just any bun, after selecting the one closest to my tongs I plated the bun and passed it to Baby Spice. She then gave me a withering stare only to remark that this particular bun was not up to her high bun-standards. Apparently a small amount of icing had stuck to the bun tray and not remained intact to the rest of the bun. I replaced it with another and she did not thank me at all. She was RUDE and looked about 20 years older than she does on the telly. I knew there was a reason Geri was my fave.

Time Lapse
There are many offerings on YouTube that show a time lapse in a short piece of film. Here are some of my favourites:
This film was created by Eirik Solheim, he captured footage throughout 2009 and cut it into just 90 seconds...
How to grow a beard, then a goatee, then a moustache...
In this video a man took a photo of his daughter everyday from her birth until she was 10 years old and cut it down into just 1min 25secs..
Then there's the disgusting but quite scientific route...
And the real footage of a man (who looks like a woman) trapped in a lift for a whopping 41 hours!!
And finally, Noah Kalina took a photo of himself everyday for 2356 days...

Harry Potter
First of all - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
In addition, I have now been to see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 twice. I think this is because I was so shocked at how good it was (in comparison to the last film offerings) that I couldn't believe my eyes and had to go back and see it again.
Emma Watson is mildly less annoying and Daniel Radcliffe makes an arse of himself by attempting to dance. Brilliant.
I am eagerly awaiting Part 2. If they cut out the "Not my daughter you bitch!" line from it I will be most upset.
For my fellow Potter fans, here is a lovely puppet show:

My Favourite Virals
Hello,
This week I have gathered my top 10 viral ads for your viewing pleasure. In no particular order, let us begin:
This ad was revealed to be a viral for Microsoft after many people believed it was genuinely the biggest waterslide on earth.
The classic Old Spice, "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" it also created some great spoofs by The Sun and Sesame Street
The LED Sheep, apparently an advert for Samsung
One of the best uses of Chatroulette that I've seen, plugging the film The Last Exorcism
A simple and creative AIDS awareness ad from the TBWA Paris
An award-winning seatbelt campaign from Sussex
A funny one from Durex
An oldie but a goodie. 'Will It Blend?' just gets better and better. I don't know why it is so satisfying watching someone blend an iPad, it just is.
The ad that can't go without a mention is this from Tip-Ex, great use of YouTube and clearly show the product truth
And the final classic, John West Salmon. Enjoy!

I love Lovefilm
I spoke to a man who worked for Lovefilm and he persauded me to sign up by giving me a code for 2 months free rentals. It was the incentive I needed to finally give it a go and I'm very glad I did. I used to spend a fortune on DVDs as well as going to the cinema and now I can just stay home and watch a DVD for FREE!
They have every title you could ever want and you can even watch some films and TV episode off of their website for free as part of your rental package.
You can also set the level of priority on your rental list to let them know if you really really want to see Shutter Island and think you could wait a couple of weeks before you see Madagascar.
I know this sounds like the biggest product plug ever, but it really is fantastic !

"Literally the best cookie I've ever had"
Vicky and I were united again this week to visit and revisit a few agencies. We were fairly confident about our book this time because it had earned us a placement at Muirhoward. However, as always, people had very different opinions to each other. In one agency a campaign was our best work and in another, it had to be taken out of our book.
Its nice to go back and see familiar faces in an agency, especially when the team you're meeting are some sort of comedy double act. Unfortunately it also makes it even more frustrating when you know for sure that you'd really like to work in a place...
We also took some time out to see Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. It was possibly the oddest film I've ever seen. Is it a computer game turned into a film? Or a film turned into a computer game? Although it was weird, it was enjoyable and even funny in places. For those Lincolnites who see it - check out the young Gyles Lingwood playing Gideon (the villain).
A highlight of our London excursions has to be the discovery of Ben's Cookies. If you haven't been I suggest you get down there ASAP. They look so hard and crispy but they literally melt in your mouth. I had a white chocolate and macadamia nut beauty, there are no words to describe.....
THEY DO MAIL ORDER COOKIES!

Cheap Flights
Wonderful song by 'Fascinating Aida' inspired by the stresses of booking a cheap flight to Ireland...
