Well done to my son for earning his five star certificate at school.  Though at a tender age, not yet in double digits, the lad worked hard for this piece of paper which was presented to him in front of his whole school during the weekly assembly.   Each of these lurid orange in colour certificates takes several months to earn through a process of gaining ‘stars’ for good behaviour, for doing additional tasks and for looking after members of his class who require some extra help in activity’s such as visiting the bathroom.

Known to the family as ‘The Thinker‘ he is often buried in a book but always has time to aid those around him and to all he is a wonderfully polite and talented boy. I would like to claim credit for his demeanour but those in the know say its down to his mother!

I know you like your iPod so you if you are reading this…well done I am proud of you.

Hello Everyone,

In this, the first post on my blog, I would like to take the chance to say welcome to everyone that passes this way and who take some time to read what they find here.

My name is Gavin B Syme and this blog is the end result of many hundreds of requests by customers of my employer (Alternative Armies & 15mm.co.uk) for a place where they could follow what I get up to in my role as Creative Manager of the company.  I hope that I will make all of these people happy…I will do my best!  I also personally wanted a place online that was mine.  In this age of instant communication and friendships across the world I wanted to share my thoughts, opinions and hopefully insight into those subjects that interested me both inside and outside of my normal work.

So please take a moment to dig around and enjoy yourself.  I welcome comment and emails do drop me a line!

See you out there in the cyber froth. 

Gavin B Syme. – GBS
