I know someone else in the world today who this title could apply to.
Except his big ideas are more of the bigoted variety. The big bad sort.
Shame Tony Hart isn’t in charge of western democracy.
Took this blurry picture while I was filling up my water bottle at my local car dealership yesterday.
I’ve never had chilling water before.
Is it water that is just hanging out?
Water that is extremely laid back?
Water that is on its way to being very cold or very relaxed?
Or water that is simply terrifying?
I went for cold.
You know where you are with cold.
I recently watched Inside Out again on a plane journey back from California, having already seen it in the cinema a month or so beforehand.
I’ve always liked Pixar and watching the credits all the way to the end reminded me how important it is to recognise everyone’s part, no matter how small, when it comes to making a project happen.
In the credits, every single person who works at Pixar is thanked. From the security guards to the cleaning staff, writers and designers and so on. I love that.
A few years ago, I was lucky enough to get a private tour round Pixar. The designer showing us round said that whenever a new film is finished, just before the launch, everyone at Pixar is taken off for the weekend to some fabulous chateau in Napa for a huge party to celebrate a job well done.
They are all allowed to take one person with them and again, every single employee gets an invite to the party.
I’m a big fan of credit where credit is due. And saying thank you properly.
Here’s to proper credits all round.
Here’s where I put all the things I’ve been working on recently, any interesting bits I’ve come across about words and writing, and whatever else I’ve been thinking about. I can’t promise it will be one of those blogs that gets updated regularly. But I can promise to try my best (and to always use the ‘quality over quantity’ argument if all else fails).
