Gordon Brown – have some promotional products!

Gordon Brown finally makes a public apology about how much money some politicians have spent over the last year (and lets be fair, they were taking the Michael)!  What were the items on the list... tennis court repairs, cleaners, sketchy movies and even dog food!  I wouldn’t mind a handout please!  Politicians – why waste your money on these items?  What you need is some effective promotional products that will help bring awareness of your party.  Hand out promotional gifts, give nifty giveaways to children.  Make your party stand out above the rest.  Click here to shop!

It’s always handy to have a promotional pen!

I heard on the news a ludicrous story about a Muslim couple in India last week.  The married couple are being forced to get out their printed pens and sign divorce papers.  The husband muttered the dreaded word ‘Talaq’ in his sleep three times.  This is the Arabic word for 'DIVORCE' and according to Muslim law; the triple use of the word means the couple need to actually divorce!!  Weird or what?  Are we in control of our dreams?  I wonder if the wife used her promotional pen to note down the dates and times of each mention ready to go to court.  Click here for a reliable promotional pen.

Oh Phillip – you are fired!

Did you see the wrath of Alan Sugar last night in The Apprentice?  It was fantastic!  What has estate agent Phillip got against geeky Lorraine?  I’ve never seen someone dislike another person so much on the popular BBC series!  It was blatantly obvious this week that Phillip and Kate have got a little something going on behind the scenes and this totally impacted on this week’s task.  I’m still not sure whose going to win it this year!  Ignite and Empire need to get the Hotline Group on board to get their message across!  Perhaps a personalised promotional gift to Alan Sugar might do the trick – I guess it’s worth a try.  Click here for ideas!

Hamilton save the day – what?

Thank goodness for that – Lewis Hamilton will drive in the next Grand Prix. His team wasn’t punished as bad as they first thought after breaking F1 rules by trying to mislead the stewards about an incident in the race. The McLaren team have been told though if they do it again they will be banned from competing in three races.  So Hamilton, you can now pass out those promotional pens and start signing autographs – people don’t hate you after all.  Have you seen the Style Ballpen?  I think that might be right up your street!

Poor Kirsten O'Brien – lets buy her a gift!

Did anyone see the programme about Kirsten O’Brien and her ‘topless ambition?’  I have to say I have really changed my mind about her.  I always thought she was a bit silly and CBBC ‘presentery’ but she is actually really intelligent, ambitious and has a lot of 'front' (forget the pun).  I felt really sorry for her in the debate of ‘sexy vs funny’ however all I have to say is that everybody sees something appealing in someone.  Chin up Kirsten – don’t take it personally!  I think she deserves some promotional gift to cheer her up!  Any suggestions.  Browse our shop and see what you can find!

National RSPCA week – get your fundraising items ordered now!

Did you know it is national RSPCA week and we are all supposed to be thinking about our pets and making them feel extra special (they’re animals not humans aren’t they?!)  Figures have been released that show that last year the RSPCA dealt with 11,586 abandoned animals and statistics show that up to thirty animals a day are being dumped as a result of the credit crunch.  But don’t let the credit crunch stop your fundraising to help out these creatures.  Have a look at our promotional giveaway section and select the best fundraising item for your event.  It’s never too late to care!

What? Our water's not Safe? Get me my promotional pen and paper NOW!

Are we becoming like our Atlantic neighbours by being told we have to boil our tap water if we wish to drink it? The people of North Wales are experiencing this inconvenience and are even being told not to brush their teeth using their current supply.  The water company are panicking because they have found a possible harmful bacteria and a warning has been announced.  Now is the time to take up your promotional pen and start writing letter of complaint. We want to drink safe water and be healthy.  Why not get some pen printed with this message on in protest!  Click here to see our budget pens.

Cheryl Cole – who needs the ‘A’ team when you have the Hotline team!

Oh who would have predicted it - hey?! Cheryl Cole has decided to make a solo Album!  It has been said that she hasn’t recorded any tracts just yet but is starting to build her brand.  The beautiful Girls Aloud member will still continue with the group as the band have already signed a contract agreeing to a deal to record three more albums.  If she thinks it’s tough now it’s only going to get worse!  I think she needs to get an effective promotional team behind her to organise all her promotional gifts, fundraising giveaways and business incentives.

The Apprentice produces another quality viewing!

Did you see 'The Apprentice' the other night?  Raise your hand in the air if you hate Deborah!  What an absolute madam.  I could hear gasps from front lounges around the UK when she confronted Nick in her aggressive and over confident manner!  NO NOT NICK!! Margaret’s numerous faces and pouts were classic last night when Phillip was being his normal Muppet self.  It was quality viewing… Did someone say there was a village missing an idiot..!  Oh sorry I heard wrong, someone said there is an array of promotional gifts in store for the winner.  Lucky them!  Click here to take a sneak peak!
