It won't be long before we get "HolidayTime" rather than Christmas.
Having said that I did see an advert which had holly in it at the end
of August. Makes me want to hurt people in marketing even more than I
already do. Oxygen theives. Did a course on it once. In the practical
we had to market alcopops. So I took it really seriously and decided
the target market was segmented into
a) teenage girls
b) gay men

I got into trouble for not taking it seriously enough. What's wrong
with injecting truth into the scenario.

I am ember-arsed to say I have no book on the go at the moment, despite
working less than a mile from the library. I did read Fanboys and
OverDogs by the woman who does countdown's dictionary corner (no, I
didn't know either who she was) but that doesn't count. I probably
should try to score one of the few Graham Greene's I've not read
