The below video happens to be both extremely funny and quite topical, considering the weekend’s Oscar dramatics.

Last Sunday, 2 August, I was lucky enough to get to the Manchester Evening News Arena for the last performance of Walking with Dinosaurs.

The experience was truly magnificent & my 5 year old son Ben & I sat through the whole show completely open-mouthed!

Starting a new job can be an unnerving experience. There’s the new people, the new surroundings, the new challenges, the new…smells? But at Cuckoo (who were lucky enough to employ a chap of my stupefying talent) – the hair-pulling, the name-calling and bruising from stolen lunch-money fisticuffs has been kept to a respectable minimum.

So far I’ve been designing and building the new Cuckoo website, which should be up and running very soon. The website should improve and simplify the current information flow, and should have some cool little things thrown in. Like, for example, an option of a larger view of the Cuckoo webcam, for the nosier among us. Also, there’s the option of choosing your favourite background for the website, which should provide hours of fun for all.

And, for those who missed it, Cuckoo are still looking for sponsors for their 10k Manchester run to raise money for the NABS charity – and you can see their rather entertaining Rocky-inspired training video here.

Stephen and colleagues at Cuckoo.

Over and out.

On Sunday 17th May 2009, 6 of our most Cuckoo colleagues will take part in The BUPA Great Manchester Run in aid of NABS.

As an addition to Alex’s fitting homage to Lego classics in still-life, let me acknowledge the Lego classic of the Python…

I know these have been around for a while now but I’ve just been reminded of them again and I’d foolishly forgotten just how good they are!

100 days, 100 songs, 100 locations, 100 dances. The result is my favourite 10 minutes of procrastinating in a long time. Enjoy…
