A thin Gervais

What is most worrying about this 1980′s video with Ricky Gervais as lead singer is I actually would:

Joel Trussell combines giant balloon heads and roller disco to brilliant effect in his new promo for Love Long Distance by The Gossip. It’s brilliant and very on trend with the roller skating action.

Grrrrrrr the Sun Newspaper are going through this blog again for stories – and not being arsed with giving me a credit. For the best headline writers in the world their headline “Get A Room You Chew” is not exactly brilliant either.

It comes to something when they have a team of massively experienced journalists on £££ yet it took them a good three days to pick up on this (whoa there guys). Read the original Haribo carnal affairs CLE post here – it comes to something when they dedicate half a page of their newspaper to a letter sent into the Daily Mail. See their article on it here.

Eco-friendly playhouse

Oooooo I love this See the Dreaming Spires Willow Playhouse in the Autumn Mini Boden catalogue.

It is from Judith Needham and costs from around £1500 (ouch).

The Dreaming Spires Willow Playhouse is designed to meet the child’s need for imaginative play whilst being an attractive feature in the garden in its own right.

The curvy lines and arched windows give the house a fairy tale quality. The twin spires and forked flags swinging gently in the breeze put one in mind of a knight’s encampment. Its ambiguous form transforms effortlessly from cottage to castle, wigwam to igloo.

Any small child would be enchanted to find such an intriguing structure in their garden and will quickly make it their own.

Handmade in England from natural english willow, the playhouse has impeccable environmental credentials.

So pretty and super simple – Housing project in Helsingborg by Wilhelmson Arkitekter where the windows have gilded frames (source: notcot via Dezeen). I think this would work just as well with the frames on the inside too.
