@GrahamH36921247 @GailParry6 Neighbours cut single trunk false Acacia down to ground level as trunk had split. Four years later there’s four trunks, with the tallest at maybe eight metres. They can come back real fast and strong.

@RowingVoice Mike Martin was telling me that this is the first year that Higgs aren’t doing it and yes they are now printed in Northampton.

@fatsculler @schoolshead @abingdonrowing @ShiplakeRowing @KewHouseSports Didn’t know you were an Abingdonian - what year did you leave?

@RowingVoice Would either crew beat Oxford Brookes? Go on, dare you. 🤣

[alistairross @alistairross]

@asburyandasbury @awlilnatty Quite. In my professional opinion M&S + Quo + Puns + Song isn’t that different from Asda + Bublé + Puns, so why throw shade? Some people will like it - probably the ones who matter.

[alistairross @alistairross]

@awlilnatty You assumed I was being derogatory with the Bublé reference. I wasn't - simply pointing out the parallels with borrowing interest from a musical star to promote a supermarket. A good populist advertising strategy. What separates the two is perhaps craft.

[alistairross @alistairross]

@awlilnatty Apologies for the mansplaining, but why throw shade on in-house agencies if they are no threat? Creativity is subjective and you can't elevate yourself by pulling others down.

@awlilnatty It was an M&S store manager who went to the chief executive with the idea. So in-house, but not in-house agency. Story in this thread: https://t.co/oikQXR8aGf

@emsayle Really sorry to hear that. Saw your videos. Good on you for keeping smiling - made of tough stuff.

@emsayle Hope you’re safe and dry still. I row on the Laleham reach and the waters have reached the boathouse, 25 metres from the bank.

@emsayle Looks like Thameside between Staines and Penton Hook where the regatta is held.

Many people miss the most important words here - “some element”.
This quote doesn’t mean the entire ad should be based on “nonsense” it means most of the thinking should be logical and the “nonsense” is what brings it to life and makes it different.
