Yesterday, Yo! Sushi launched a little campaign to get their name out on Facebook and become a lot more popular in the space of a day. Unlike traditional marketing campaigns where one pays so much for advertising and placement etc, this one was based entirely around Facebook.

Skilfully Addressed
A while back in last year (okay, maybe the end of November) I got this horrendous crotch rip in my Nudie Slim Jims, so on the advice of people in the mynudies.com forums I emailed them to get a patch. Long story cut short, it eventually arrived, with a patch, and some skilful addressing. Check it out:

I had some time and after seeing this fantastic article from Antrepo I decided that I should try it myself. Simplification makes such a difference to some packaging. Anyway, I might try and do some more if I get a chance.
Getting to the Sloe point in the year…
Forgive the pun, but it’s getting to that Sloe point in the year again. Or at least the time when there are lots of Sloe berries around (on eBay in my case). So obviously it’s time to make Sloe Gin. UK: Learn to make a goddamn Cappuccino correctly!
It can’t be done here. It’s clearly just too hard. Well it can, just rarely, and you have to get lucky. Very lucky.
I just want my takeaway cup to feel like there’s a friggin’ tennis ball in it (and obviously weigh the correct weight (149-161 grams was it?)). Is that too much to ask? Really?
Get your £1 Freshly Brewed!
Yo all. Just remembered about this, as I got the email when I was away in Canada (the home of stingy Starbucks Card rewards), and decided it was worth an obvious mention, as it’s a hot deal.
You can now score filter coffee (‘Freshly Brewed’) for £1 for a tall (and a the same 50p off every other size) with your Starbucks card in the UK
Inspiration
