Absolute brick of a chap working in marketing, pr, and social media. Also likes cricket on a decent wicket, a good smoke, and anyone who is a good egg.

Shocked by the privacy policy update I just received from @Foursquare, chaps. Who knew Foursquare still existed?
If you're still considering which new year's resolution to plump for, can I recommend #DryJanuary? I find the benefits of this campaign most beneficial. Most notably, there is less competition for the barman's attention and I am served more quickly.
Happy New Year, chaps and chapettes! Begin as you mean to go on: clutching a cup of one's caffeine source of choice, find a quiet place, crank up the laptop, and do one's best to appear productive.
The definition of a negative sum game in advertising, chaps. No one emerged from this brouhaha undamaged. xitter.cf/TheDrum/status/9457963…

Dear client,
This email about something trivial is sent to emphasize that I am toiling away long after you called a day on 2017. I send this only to ensure you dare not quibble about paying my full retainer at month's end.
Me
(the unwritten subtext of every email sent this week)
I would never be so gauche as to refer to myself as a 'Digital Guru,' chaps, but I am happy to share this highly amusing piece which labels me thus.

Most informative. I'd say enjoyable as well, but I'm afraid 2017 has been a real stinker for the media world and this is reflected (most accurately) in this episode. Highly recommended. xitter.cf/Flipping_Pages/status/…
So few chaps and chapettes in the office today, it is only a matter of time till all discipline breaks down. Personally, I can't wait, of course.

Let us know where we should take our 'pud'-cast next year...(see our festive logo for context) xitter.cf/mediavoicespod/status/…
Who would you like to hear from on next year's podcast? Love our guests? Hate our puns? Now's the chance to give us your feedback in this short listener survey: surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VTVZMWM
Back in my native land again, chaps, after a sojourn with our Caledonian cousins. I am enjoying my jaunts in Glasgow tremendously, however it is somewhat a strain having to constantly having to repeat myself to chaps who struggle to understand the Queen's English.
In Glasgow for the first time ever in December. It gets light around 8:30am, and the skies begin to darken just after 2pm. Most discombobulating. Is there an equivalent to jetlag for traveling north? If so, chaps, I have a bad case.
Back in the Dear Green Place today, chaps, and met up with the delightful @camclarke for an hour or so. He wanted to pose for a picture with my famous pipe, of course. Next @TheDrum blog post now planned for January...
Question of the day, chaps: would you trust a marketer who is unable to market himself adequately? As in presentation, branding, people skills and all that.
What would you say is the single most important technological innovation for remote working in the history of mankind? I am in no doubt about this one, chaps: wifi in pubs.

People have long been saying ‘print is dead’ but it is becoming clear that digital was dead from the start – at least as a sole revenue source. So what now? Our first proper article on #MediaVoices

Not sure what to make of this promotional insert in @prospect_uk, chaps: an envelope that on front and back says merely, 'Not for you.' Do I dare open it?
One good egg needs the help of another. Can anyone recommend a trusted source for @ppitstop27? xitter.cf/ppitstop27/status/9385…
@Marketing_Chap could you recommend a good egg with a podcast or blog for launching press releases to media contacts? It’s not my normal skill set and I dare say I need some good pointers to set me on my way
Ever dream about showing up for a client pitch unprepared, chaps?@DavidDavisMP's appearance before the @CommonsEUexit yesterday easily trump your worst nightmares. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…
As you know, chaps, man cannot live by bread alone. If provided bread, tea, perique pipe tobacco, and @BBCRadio4 however, I daresay I would be just fine. And biscuits.
Cadging PR tips from @McDonalds, chaps? @CambridgeNewsUK BBC News - Cambridge News paper apologises over headline gaffe bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ca…
