Russell Davies used to be something important in online advertising – but that was before anyone had heard of online advertising. These days he’s something important in advertising. He’s keeping three (count them) weblogs and each is a jewel. I particularly like his two nicely differentiated homages to the greasy spoon, A Good Place for a Cup of Tea and a Think and Egg, Bacon, Chips and Beans. The latter is practically a work of art and should probably be lottery funded. While you’re at, check out his ‘ordinary’ weblog, which is nicely written, clever and interesting. I think Russell is the kind of articulate, engaging bloke weblogs were invented for.

You are right. EBC is a work of art. But your mate will have a heart attack if he doesn’t watch it. We used to go to the New Piccadilly and eat steak. That was in the days before BSE or Sponge Brain as Guillaume call it. Oh days of innocence.
