The drink of choice for Clinic? Tea all the way… but ‘why?’ you may ask.
After being asked to help start up tea company Little Sparrow with their branding, we can think of nothing better than getting involved in their delightful tea selections.
And you lucky lot can get stuck in too: tea can be ordered by the truckload from their brand new website we have rather cleverly created here

Do you have a good memory? Are you a fan of video games?
Combine the two and I’m pretty sure this link is for you. Mapstalgia: video game maps drawn from memory.
Take a trip down memory lane and have a look here.

On a recent trip to San Francisco, I came across these amazing Diego Rivera murals at the Institute of Art and San Francisco City College.
If you’d like to look at any other pieces of his work, you can look here for a link to the San Francisco Art Institute website.

So,
London’s images as my creative source.
Seen these?
Love London Mosaics: dedicated to London made entirely from smaller local images to iconic monuments. Every time you look you see something new.
Good looking and interesting which is more than can be said for Lisa Snowdon.

We’ve been beavering away working on a range of Arsenal membership brochures and as part of that process, we managed an all-day photoshoot at Emirates Stadium where some lucky fans pretended (ahem) to drink champagne, talk tactics and make the most of the amazing facilities whilst our dedicated snapper captured the spirit and sophistication of being an Arsenal Platinum Member.
It was hard work, but somebody had to do it! And things only got harder. In the evening, Arsenal were playing Leeds in the third round of The FA Cup, so the models and the Clinic team were forced to watch the game from perhaps the most fantastic box in the whole ground, again while our photographer captured the excitement.
And what a game to be at, with the well-publicised return of Thierry Henry. As Henry ran onto the pitch in the last quarter of the match, the whole of the stadium rose as one to cheer – including Rizzle Kicks and Lethal Bizzle (massive Scrabble scores both of them), who were enjoying the game from the (significantly smaller) box next to ours. Ironically, the only people not standing up were the Leeds travelling faithful, who before this moment had been the only people in the ground actually on their feet. Apart from the players, obviously.
Surely he wouldn’t return and break the deadlock. That fairy story wouldn’t come true would it?
As you all know, it only blumming well did! Henry slotted the ball into the bottom corner with the minimum of fuss on what must have been just his third touch – and made it look simple. As Emirates erupted and Henry set off on a lap of honour (risky, he’s not fully match fit), even the non-Arsenal fans among us were seen shedding a tear.
Hooray Henry! So that’s what it feels like to be a Platinum Member!

As much fun as you can have with polystyrene balls…
Take a look here.
This time last year, I’d unwrapped the Playstation Move and Playstation Eye (camera) that I’d got for Christmas and excitedly started filling up my HD with the introductory games and demos I’d got with it.
I played each one for around ten minutes before deciding that it was either absolute tosh or, to damn with faint praise, OK. But still, that didn’t matter as the Move was new and these were just first attempts. Things would get better.
It’s a year later, and things don’t seem to have moved on at all. There was supposed to be some kind of push for the Move, but looking at the upcoming schedule, all I’ve got to look forward to is Dance Magic and Kevin Van Dam Fishing. Yay.
Of course there are more upcoming titles than that, but they’re either nothing to get excited about (sorry Mad Blocker HD) or they’re just normal games with Move functionality tagged on, like Bioshock: Infinite.
Now this is certain to be one of the biggest and best games of the year, but will the developers have found innovative ways of using the Move as part of that? Doubtful. It’ll probably be the same old ‘wave it in a circle to turn the handle’ kind of affair we’ve sadly got used to.
Where are all the killer apps that are just for the Move? Where’s the game that makes my jaw hit the floor? Why aren’t I a Jedi with a Move lightsaber yet?
And the galling thing is that Kinect owners do seem to be getting the chance to do this kind of thing and more. It may be technically inferior to the Move, but at least it’s got games that work. And look fun.
For every Top Hand Rodeo Tour I’ve got to look forward to, they’ve got Steel Battalion: Heavy Armour. For every Lights, Camera, Party they’ve got The Black Eyed Peas Experience, Dance Central 2, Yoostar on MTV and Penguins Of Madagascar.
Oh. Okay,so it turns out that they’re both useless and only encourage stupid kids’ games (but Kinect owners still get to be a Jedi!). Curse you Wii for ruining gaming for gamers.
