Goldâs a useless pillock. Iâll get on it. I must say, though, that I have misgivings about presenting deliberately wacky celebrity names to a company as essentially conservative as Esmée Ãloge. Arenât they looking for the likes of Keira Knightley and that woman who used to stand in the middle in Destinyâs Child?
Â
Incidentally, is the new office troubadour an example of the new fit-for-purpose hiring policy? Iâm intrigued.

Tell me, how is your boss planning to present the Esmée Ãloge work without the actual work? Heâs either a genius or a complete twat. Let him know I want a full debrief the second he returns.

If Esmée Ãloge had wanted âconservative,â theyâd have gone to Miller Shanks. They came here because they wanted outer-rim thinking and Iâm fucked if Iâm going to disappoint them.

On your second point, Yossi is here because I intend to restore the jingle to its rightful position in British advertising. Some cunt is going to produce the next Shake ânâ Vac and I intend that cunt to be working at Meerkat360.

Capisce?

Remember what I told you. Ted is just a naughty potty mouth and he gets a kick out of upsetting you. The best way to beat him is to rise above it. Be strong, Sooz. And maybe book a soothing sesh in the Think Tank.

Discussions on the status of the office hairdresser are ongoing. In the meantime, I suggest you forgo the trim. By the way, if you bother me with this crap again I will come down to the basement and cut your hair myself. Nicky Clarke Iâm not.

Hi David. Donald had the boards redone over the Christmas break. He made a call to check out the lighting in the Rotterdam meeting room and felt a matte finish would work better than gloss for presentation purposes. Hope this is OK.

His fear of flying is matched only by his terror of spiders. He has a recurring nightmare about flying long haul and being served chicken/beef by a tarantula dressed as a stewardess.
