right up our street

Look what Nicholai found in Paris.

Read more on our Danish blog here (it helps if you can speak Danish).

avast, me hearty

Tristan sent us a picture of his great pirate ships made from empty smoothie cartons last week. Shiver me timbers.

And then there's Billy who's turned his empty cartons into a very creative desk tidy...

You can see even more great stuff like this on our pinboard.

arise, phone box

The phone box has risen.

Ian applies the pallet truck.

John tries to lift it by himself. This doesn't work.

Planks of wood come in useful.

The final push for the summit.

A little wiggle and it's there.

lifting a big red phone box

We are a little more clear on what the phone box is going to be used for. Apparently it's going to be used as a phone box. An amazing revelation. More specifically, it'll be for private calls, so no one else can hear you say "I love you too" at the end of a conversation.

We lifted it inside yesterday. Seeing as it's made from cast iron and weights three quarters of a ton, this was quite tricky. Of course, this didn't stop our strong men from standing around it for a while and pontificating on the finer points of phone box lifting. There was a lot of standing around:


"Oh, I wouldn't do it that way if I were you"

And then some lifting:


"Lift with your knees"

And then some more standing around:


"I'm going to speak to the union about this."

Well done lads.

If anyone knows any proper big men with proper big lifting equipment, drop us a line. We've still got a bit of phone box moving to do.

an advert for our kids smoothies

Here's an advert that we made for the telly. It's all about our kids smoothies, and it's on TV in some parts of the UK at the moment.

If you have a moment, let us know what you think of young Freddie's performance. And see if you can identify the voice.

a little film

Something strange that we found on youtube, featuring our kids smoothies.

Can anyone read Japanese? Is it Japanese? What does it say?

ooh, it's dead exotic

Here's our new smoothie of the month. As the name suggests, and as you've probably worked out by now, it's only around for a month or so. A bit like a copy of Vogue.

This one contains lemongrass, which is rich in a substance known as citral. Citral is believed to aid digestion and relieve ailments such as headaches, so if you ate a big pie and washed it down with a quart of Chablis last night, this smoothie might be just the thing. Please enjoy.

on the radio

Our Rich was interviewed on Radio 4's PM show yesterday afternoon. Quite a lot of the questions focused on McDonalds, and Eddie Mair (the smart PM presenter) has posted the full interview on his blog.

Go have a listen and let us know what you think.

something for the weekend

It's been quite a big week. So here's something frothy for the weekend. Maybe the best pop video ever. Always worth watching again.
