UK advertising blog recommendations.

Can anyone recommend any decent advertising blogs, preferably with a UK slant.

I'm interested in advertising, and specifically coercion, tricks of the trade, and I always have a keen eye for trying to figure out the psychology behind any ads that have had the misfortune to slip through adblock, or my brand new ocular adfilters I had installed the other day.*

I'm in the UK so thats where I see most of my ads, and from the years of seeing US TV advertising, I dont ever really want to see any of those again but I guess some of the tricks remain the same.

Are there any recommendations for any fun, or insightful blogs in this arena? My google on the subject seem to trigger all the wrong things.

BrandRepublic is pretty good. There's also a thread on GuardianTalk's media section dissecting ads which is great fun.
