There's been weird goings-on all day, with congos, Hattie wearing french sticks as extra arms and Mike only being able to talk through a megaphone
Just think, 9 years ago today two blokes sat down at a kitchen table, came up with a silly name and started to do some good work.
9 years later here's a few of the high (and low) points:
- from 2 people to 57 people
- 5 office moves
- 2 partners, 1 partner, 2 partners, 3 partners, then 4 partners
- the creation of Kream, an independent TV production company
- a lot of ping pong played
- a lot of ping pong lost
- promoting what became the highest ever watched TV shows on History Channel, Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi Channel
- the most successful Nintendo UK advertising ever
- bird flu, swine flu and man flu all survived (so far)
- won the Naked football tournament
- frequent cross dressing
- losing our minds and our dignity in Berlin, Prague and the Tivola Hut

- running about the crappist blog ever
- having a 'no wanker' hiring policy
- several births, a few marriages and no deaths that we're aware of
- more bikes per head than any other agency in the world other than a small agency in Argentina called 'El Biko'
