Can you smell that?
That’s the pungent aroma of my Bits & Bobs.
Take a deep breath.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Spare a thought for our amphibious friends on these frosty but festive winter mornings.
DESIGN
Students selling stuff? Keeps them out of clinical trials I suppose.
EXHIBITION
It’s cheaper than buying the annual.
WEBSITE
How can a doodle raise awareness for male cancer?
There’s a disclaimer. You should read it before looking.
Giant cursors Batman…
TECHNOLOGY
Speakers for the hard of hearing.
MAD SKILLS
You say hoola, I say hoop. See what this rubber-hipped ring chucker can do.
And relax…

This is the first Benny’s Bits & Bobs as part of our new family; TBWA\Manchester.
‘What’s all this stuff?’ you say.
Well, it’s a weekly collection of inspiration and joy for you to take in and salivate over.
Be gentle, my Bits and indeed my Bobs are tender.
ADVERTISING
What would have happened if the classic ‘1984’ ad had been through research? Who knows.
ILLUSTRATOR
Some nice work from some people in Dublin who like to colour in.
PSYCHOLOGY
The banana is blue…Learn how to change minds and influence people.
PRODUCT
The arrival of the iPhone is imminent, but what if you’ve got greasy mitts? Here’s the perfect solution.
TECHNOOLOGY
What would you do with a mouse that can run 6k?
DESIGNER
From Tank Girl to the Gorillaz, but now for something a little bit more discreet from Jamie Hewlett?
SKILLS
Here’s a clip of me and my homies chilling with our Ukes. Sweet.
That’s it.
I’m all dried up for this week.

Life moves pretty fast.
If you don’t stop and look at my bits and bobs every once in a while, you could miss it.
TECHNOLOGY
Bugsy Malone wishes he had one of these.
He’d be bullet proof and he could wipe cream cakes off his face.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Pictures with impact. Wowoweewow.
INTERVIEW
Give a man a fish and he’ll feed his family for a day.
Give this designer an apple and he’ll never go hungry again.
BRAIN FOOD
Nobody likes change, especially us Brits. But why?
RAW TALENT
I couldn’t even get an audition on humdrum idol. I suck.
Here’s a little guy who’s been starved of inspiration.

It could happen to you too.
Ooot.

Give me a Benny, “Benny”. Give me a bit, “Bit”. Give me a Bob, “Bob”.
What do you get?
Bobs, Bits & Benny’s,
EVENT
Bullet-proof squirrels. No, not really. But animals can be heroes too..
DESIGN
A design collective with an integrated approach. They call it collaboration. Potato. Potado.
WORK
A nice online ad for charity. ‘Hmmm’ and ‘nice’ are just two of the things you could say after seeing it.
BRAIN FOOD
Don’t believe the newspapers. They lie. Yep. It’s true. I read it somewhere.
ART
The force is strong with this one.
ONLINE
A docu-happiness-factory-mentary. Just in case it crossed your mind.
