A UK ad agency trying to be edgy? Nothing new, considering that winning a Chip Shop Award is an accolade in the advertising industry. This is Iris, who have decided to illustrate their new starter benefits guide by mocking "chav culture".

Maybe I'm being too sensitive, especially considering I've worked in advertising, but I just find a middle class industry punching down like that pretty distasteful.

Bonus point: they were the guys responsible for Olympic things like Wenlock and Mandeville.

Mischievous steelworkers in Corby doctored their clocking in board to read “CAMERON OUT” during a visit from the prime minister yesterday. With Dave touring the town ahead of the by-election on 15 November, eagle-eyed local snapper Alison Bagley spotted the subtle dig by staff at Tata Steel, who manufactured the metal tubing used in the Millennium Stadium and St Pancras Station in London.

quote:

By borrowing the language and format of classic tabletop board games (the game Life was also clearly a reference point), The Game of Urban Renewal examines more insipid urban phenomena: decline, blight, and gentrification. “Board games are all about exploring a system, and telling a story,” he explains. “The language of the board game: the board, playing pieces, spinner, etc., along with the act of playing, allows the enactment of process that actually takes decades.”

Trevisan, who lives in Toronto, based the game on Regent Park, one of Canada’s first public housing projects. Right now, Regent Park is being demolished to make way for new developments--like so many other social housing projects from the 1950s and '60s. After the 10-year redevelopment plan is complete, Regent Park will look much like the neighborhoods around it: the prewar street plan will be reinstated, and a series of glassy condo buildings will replace the Corbusian grid of tower blocks.

Downing Street has denied rumours of a feud between cats belonging to the chancellor and prime minister after they were pictured fighting.

George Osborne's Freya was photographed slugging David Cameron's Larry with a nasty-looking left claw, the evidence being posted on Twitter.

But the PM's spokeswoman insisted the two tabbies were able to "co-exist".

She added that she would not "get into commenting on the adventures of our feline friends".

Residents of Numbers 10 and 11 Downing Street have historically disagreed strongly over policy.
