There is nothing to say about Japanese toilets other than the fact that they are brillliant.

On a separate note, we’re finishing up working tomorrow for Christmas / New Year break. Tools will be upped once again on Monday 5th January. Thank you for watching. Airside x

We had our seasonal celebration last night and here’s a few snaps we can share with you. It was all heading in the right direction – lovely buffet spread (thanks Elaine), gorgeous table, splendid people. Then out came the Buckfast and the Air-cider (made from Alex’s apple trees)… Let’s just say there are some headaches today. But no regrets. Non, rien de rien.

Here’s to 2009. x

The glorious 80s…

This morning on the bus, my iPod offered me up several suitable selections to write about, but the one that most tickled my fancy was Sex Dwarf by Soft Cell. Have you listened to it recently, or ever?? The lyrics are brilliant, Marc Almond is tres drole. Surely a contender for an It’s Pop It’s Art print….

Following on from my try-listening-to-craggy-Bob-Dylan recommendation last week, yesterday my iPod shuffle offered up Into the Groove(y) by Ciccone Youth. And I enjoyed it so much I switched off the shuffling in order to listen to the whole album. Brilliant. If Madonna used as much feedback as this I would forgive her all the Kabbalah rantings in the world.

On Friday we stumbled in from the pub just in time to catch the latest episode of the third series of Channel 4 sitcom The I.T. Crowd.

And in the middle of an excellent episode where Roy and Moss attempt to ingratiate themselves with some football fans and end up taking part in an armed robbery, we spotted our Battle Royale Girl t-shirt being worn by actor Chris O’Dowd.

We were well chuffed to see our classic design on screen, especially when we discovered that the t-shirt features on their PR campaign as well.

Roy’s choice of t-shirts has become a feature of the show since it began. There’s even a blog dedicated to sourcing all the tees he wears on the show.
