Salt_Design has created (and modeled) the Wimbledon 07 tennis range for Adidas utilising the latest in fabric technology and colours. “Groundbreaking” was the response from many in the fashion world, one noted Paris correspondant stating, “the combination of short shorts, head band and long socks will rejuvenate the tediously boring state of men’s professional tennis…I mean, who would have thought, wooden racquets?”. Here’s a sneak preview.

There was talk round the office last week of a large elephant like sea creature that roamed the seabed in herds munching football size fields of sea grass. There was some disbelief and the odd sceptic! Well doubters and landlubbers, let me introduce the Dugong!

In a week dominated by the Louis Vuitton Cup win in Spain and closer to home, speculations on the government’s new Kiwisaver scheme, in London the branding for the 2012 Olympics was revealed.

The new logo has been a huge success with many people literally blown over in the streets by how much they love it.

Nigel, our London correspondent reports “I stepped out of my bedsit on Monday morning and tripped over three geezers just lying there on the pavement. I think one of them was convulsing, and then I looked up at a poster with this series of weird pink shapes on it like a mark sent from some higher intelligence. I couldn’t believe how perfect and beautiful it was…”

In a move that has shocked the rest of the country, London’s mayor, Ken Livingston has stepped down from his post to be replaced by original cyber-freak Max Headroom.

“We just felt it would be more in keeping with the brand values we have created for the 2012 Olympics. We are also thinking of having Bros and the Culture Club played throughout the Underground transport system round the clock” said Livingston, “although you’ll have to ask Max about that, he’s more of a Hughie Lewis man”.
