Mr Humbug

Mr Humbug - Madeleine's favorite shop in London, located at Waterloo station. She sometimes begs us to take her here. Museums, restaurants, theatre - nope. The tagline helpfully guides us: "Suck it and see." What the hell is that supposed to mean?

While on poor communication, I read the following shampoo ad posted on the Underground and written by pre-teens or MBAs - you pick. A company paid a salary and wall space for this:

Bulging handbags. Mobile phones. Emotional baggage.
That's quite enough to schlep around
Without a heavy conditioner adding to the extra burden of follicle flatness.
But hark! Who's this tripping lightly into view?
Enter Aussie 3 Minute Miracle deep conditioner.
Buzzing with what we call Luscious-Lightness
Not just a look. It's a whole way of life.
With just one not-unpleasant side-effect: Light Headed-ness
