Easily, the second best design blog on the internet. You will not find a stupid cat pic here, just one long rant about the less savory aspects about working in this field in London, with a special 'shout out' to the the prize cock of the bunch, the 'Account Manager'.

Spot the Account Manager
No, not the 'junior' account manager, or the 'trainee' or the account manager in weekend civvies..the proper, at his desk doing Sweet F.A. account manager....
Nothing can prepare you for the back breaking, pride swallowing toil of working every day in this field. Everyone thinks your a 'twat', 'a trend whore' and a 'decorator'. All your colleagues see you as competition, all your friends see you as the go to person for style tips. Fuck-you very much Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen.
This is the existence of a modern designer in London's creative agencies. The daily fight between the people that make things (us, programmers, printers) and those that can only talk about doing it (every fucking body else). The prize cock of the bunch though is the 'Account Manager'.
Some of this may ring true. Some of it might be the disturbed rantings of a mildly alcoholic mind propped up with columbias finest. Who cares, you've already read this far. Enjoy the Blog.
