rubbishcomp® // Free Radiohead Ticket Giveaway Item Contest Promotion
Rock ‘mentalists’ RA D IO HEA_D (as they appear to now be known) are playing Victoria Park this Tuesday and Wednesday evening. The above ticket is for the Wednesday show, it was bought by me for someone (my lovely wife) who can no longer attend; it’s your’s - if you can win the first rubbishcompetition®.
The rules are simple, all you have to do is write a comment below explaining why you’d like/deserve the ticket. I / an independent adjudicator will pick the best response and that person will be awarded said ticket.
You’ll obviously have to be able to collect the ticket from a predetermined public drinking based establishment location, prior to the show. In no way do you have to accompany me and/or get drunk and cause a fight. Although, if you’re that way inclined, you can buy me some beer and tell me I look nice in my new T-Shirt etc.
The submission must be received by midday on Wednesday June 25th, the winner will be announced by 4pm that day.
Good luck

R/GA London went proper Crown Green Bowling yesterday for our ‘Chrismas’ party; it was ace. This is a freakish picture that someone took during a quiet moment I was having on the lawn.

Thin Air
I do not usually fly Business Class to Helsinki, so you can imagine my disappointment when finally I got the chance and it wasn’t quite what I’d expected.
RE: Flight 6032 // Flight 6035
Dear Finnair,
Please can you explain to me exactly what you mean by the ‘Business’ element of your ‘Business’ Class? Myself and several of my colleagues are finding it very difficult to unravel this complex mystery.
Firstly, it appears that (on both outbound and return journeys) you have no boarding chute; merely a bus. A bus that seemingly boards exclusively from the rear of the aircraft, which was a bit of an inconvenience, considering the ‘Business’ section is traditionally at the front of a plane.
Secondly, as a regular traveler on your economy service, I am familiar with your reasonably uncomfortable seats. Can you please explain to me the fact that the ‘Business’ class seat is identical to the economy seat in every possible way, aside from the fact that there is no one sat beside me?
All the uncomfortable and restrictive elements remain, as does main focus of Business Class; it’s for Business). It’s ironic, I can’t actually work so there is very little else to do but talk to the person next to me, and you’ve even managed to sod that up.
Thirdly, serving bad food in dishes, rather that foil, does not make that food any more appetising. And another thing; the lounge is rubbish.
I would go on but I see little point, you get the message. I more than slightly bemused, so as you can imagine, I eagerly await your reply.
Yours Sincerely,
rubbishcorp®

I have been so crazy busy that I have lost the ability to blog.
I will be back soon.
Finnair Are Rubbish
If you read this blog regularly you’ll be aware of my somewhat dim view of Finnair. This morning my flight was delayed (again), so I decided to write the above on as many sick bags as I could.

Space Junk
“Between the launch of Sputnik on 4 October 1957 and 1 January 2008, approximately 4600 launches have placed some 6000 satellites into orbit, of which about 400 are travelling beyond geostationary orbit or on interplanetary trajectories.
Today, it is estimated that only 800 satellites are operational - roughly 45 percent of these are both in LEO and GEO. Space debris comprise the ever-increasing amount of inactive space hardware in orbit around the Earth as well as fragments of spacecraft that have broken up, exploded or otherwise become abandoned. About 50 percent of all trackable objects are due to in-orbit explosion events (about 200) or collision events (less than 10).”

Broiler Nuggets Part II
Finnair have been checking out my broiler nugget post. Perhaps this isn’t the first time broiler nuggets have caused controversy.
Converse
I want to document the life of a pair of Converse, as I seem to get through so many. So, I am taking a photo a day of the above white One Star’s and uploading the shots to Flickr.
I’m not going to wear any other shoes until I am done, so I can also find out just how long they last.
I am willing to take bets.
Paul Arden
I am saddened to learn of the death of Paul Arden, one of advertisings legends. I had the pleasure of working with Paul a few years ago, during my time with his production company: Arden Sutherland Dodd.
Paul was an inspiration to me (as he was to countless others), I admired his brilliance and his seemingly tireless energy for his craft. During my year or so with Paul, he was the best (and by far the busiest), director in the shop - at the age of 63.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
A brilliant man.
