Oh dear Miles... look what you've done to your face!

on your right is poor old miles. Miles, no one calls team girl 'shit'. Hope it washes off eventually.
on your left is our ex creative director whos shirt we attacked. His crime? Being a dirty old perv.

A GOOD DAY

It happened, it actually happened! Many doubted us and said it could take months but the perseverance paid off. Today the thing we've been working so hard towards here in the box at JWT has happened. No we didn't get a job, who'd employ us! We got best answer on the phenomenon that is Yahoo Answers.

It was one afternoon when Gem happened upon Yahoo Answers and discovered a whole world of people eager to bestow their advice on anything you ever wanted to know. I use the word people loosely as the majority are either disturbed teenagers or unemployed men sat in their underwear eating pastries, whilst setting the world to right, but it is FUNNY. Also useful for getting people to write your ads for you 'ideas for the new Special K ad. GO...'

After many disturbing responses to our own questions it soon became our obsession to try and achieve best answer through writing nonsense to peoples very serious questions. 2 months and 3 weeks well spent.

Hey, look what you got!
Congratulations, you've got a best answer and 10 extra points!
Your answer to the following question really hit the spot and has been chosen as the best answer:

has anyone out there got a pictus catfish OR ANY CATFISH that they will swap?

Best Answer - Chosen By Voters


Oh my god that's really weird! I'm getting a couple of dogfish for my pond and i don't think they'd get on with my two existing catfish, miles and Kevin. Miles has a changeable temperament and he loves diving, and wallowing in the shallow reeds.Kevin is a little quieter and a lot less cheeky but id worry about him if you have any female catfish. Hes not a good breeder bless him but he tries his best.

Go ahead, do your victory dance. Celebrate a little. Brag a little. Then come back and answer a few more questions!

Thanks for sharing what you know and making someone's day.

and we will be judged...

VOICE OF PREACHER : ' And he will come down from a better place (bbh) and there you whilst be judged for your sins (ads) and he who is mightly shall proclaim you banish'ed'

VOICE OF TEAM GIRL: 'Bollocks'

It seems that team girl were the invisible straps on JWTs push up bra, we seemed like such a good idea at the time but in reality showed up like a nun in a brothel.

Mr Squats; The Man, The Ads and The Comic References Nobody Understood

Mr Squats after a lot of soul searching and a little help from Yahoo answers has left the JWT building. He will be missed and his comic references, which we never really got but laughed at with a vacant look in our eyes anyway, will never be forgotten. To you Mr Squats, you made those days when we were ready to OD on pregnancy vitamins and Rennie Dual Action a little brighter.

Mr Squats christened Scott Randle

Bloody gin. Bloody free gin. Bloody free gin with Farm. Bloody free gin with Farm and no food. Bloody free...
feel like im in a blender. In a giant blender at JWT. Ugh.

Where you from? ...Essex unfortunately.

we've been slow mo'ed. i just got up to get a coffee and it felt like a my brain was in a vice. 'what goes next? ...ah yes milk. Little packets?? .... sugar, do i have that? .' Bloody beer. Bloody free beer. Bloody free beer at work. Bloody free beer at work with new boss. Bloody free...you get the picture.

Lisa is offending me today. That's all I'm going to say. She keeps giving me carrots.

Tube strike was a bitch. So much for the living at work 'mantra' (Bugger i just used an 'advertising' word, sorry) of the placement team. We didn't get in till gone eleven. Had to sneak in up the back way so the new boss didn't clock us. Couldn't really help it tho. I reckon they don't want people from Essex to go to London because the buses from Woodford just circle it and don't actually go anywhere. You've probably got some old dears from Illford wandering around thinking that Buckingham palace is on Romford high street. That's if you were 'lucky' enough to crow bar yourself on to a bus. 'If you get on through the back I'm shutting down the bus!' 'Screw you mate i want to get home before Christmas', oooo if looks could kill. New strike on Monday, whoopi doo.

Had my journey made a little more pleasant this morning by the journalists at the metro. Thanks guys. I was reading over someones shoulder (Why carry one if you don't have to? you need your arms to hang on) and saw the headline...
"Children in factories? They love it." Genius. It was something about the Victorians, its been a slow post strike news period obviously.Made me laugh tho. Now its on the 'broom cupboard' wall.

Another thing that will be on the 'broom cupboard' wall shortly is the new cadbury ad. A gorilla that loves Phill collins, playing the drums. Glad to see the 'monkeys are always funny' rule is still being upheld. I love it because its fun, doesn't make any sense except it makes you smile and it actually got past a client. I only hope that one day me and t'other one will be able to do that.

Im writing a lot today to try and jumpstart my brain. The little midget-like beer devil has stopped jigging on it in his little high heel shoes so thats a start, slapped him with a paracetamol or two, did the trick. JWT has a thing about free bars on a Thursday which i suppose is all well and good when you can normally afford drinks. When you can't and you hear 'bar' and 'FREE' its hard to show control. Take it while you can get it.

Lisa has just started singing The Lighthouse Family.

Its week 10 in the broom cupboard.
