World Cup Boycott #anti_worldcup

I'm back from an awesome holiday and the fact that it's World Cup 2010 has hit hard, not because I care about football (I don't, I really don't) but because you can't escape it. This year is worse then ever so an idea I was playing around yesterday has taken a little bit more form.

I'm boycotting services, products, companies etc that are using the World Cup to market their products. Just for the duration of the games - so Until 11th of July.

I don't have anything against the games exactly, it isn't news, despite what they want us to think, and I hope everyone who follows it has a great time doing, but I'm opting out.

You can join us, click on the title of this blog and it will take you to the facebook group, or use the twitter hashtag #anti_worldcup

I can at least drink happily in Joxers!

Good day at the office..

... Had the first of two weekend open days in Feb (there's a bunch of Wednesdays ones too) and it's deep in Interview season. Today consisted of 2 very bouncy talks on our awesome portfolio of awards, a big mac meal wolfed down in a couple of mins and between us we interviewed around 40 students (and some of them were very, very good - next years intake is looking awesome) Not much else, Pete has the Bear & Pheasant tonight so I'm going to put my feet up, watch The Clone Wars DVD that turned up and relax a bit. I'm currently full of chocolate, marshmallows and white citrus tea, having watched the last part of The Art of Russia - making me want to go back to Russia and wishing I'd have been a bit freeier too explore when I was there. One day I'll go back, take Pete, learn to tell the difference between sour cream and mayonnaise and stay away from the cabbage dumplings, especially for breakfast. But it's been a very busy week - got invited down to an awes...

The Jazzberry cometh...
