… the A[P]SOTW assignment has to be in next Wednesday … the 12th June … which also happens to be MY BIRTHDAY.
Not that has anything to do with being graded well. Oh no. Ahem!
I’ve already got a couple of projects in from very, VERY efficient people … but to all the others, this is just a gentle reminder to say you only have a few days left.
Don’t let this news stress you out – and don’t worry if you’re not 100% happy with what you’ve done … this ‘school’ is designed to [hopefully] improve your thinking/planning/communication skills – not crown you the God of Planning – so as long as you think it is a fair reflection of how you’d answer the s brief, bung it over.
Anyway, I hope you are all well and I’d just like you to know that all the judges are very excited to see/hear/watch whatever your fantastic brains have in store for us!

2 weeks today … Gore dines with Campbell.
The poor, poor man.
Actually I think the word ‘eats’ is more appropriate than ‘dines’ because lets face it, my choice in culinary delights stretches to kebabs, donuts and the wonders of the Magic Meal … but as long as it doesn’t come in any disposable packaging he should be OK shouldn’t he?
Yes – I know this is a gratuitous moment of star-fucking, but it’s better than arranging a dinner with a gorgeous movie star under the guise of ‘casting them in a campaign’ when in reality it’s because you believe they will fancy you and you’ll end up shagging a bird of uber-beauty and fame. Andy.

… for one of life’s good guys and good thinkers – Mr M – who if I have got my dates right, has a major interview today.
If any of the people who are at that agency somehow come across my blog [and given I know the wife of one of the partners, it is within the realms of possibility] I think you would be MAD if you didn’t give this great, great guy the break he not only deserves, but rightfully should be given.
Lets hope common sense prevails!

As found by my beloved Emah – who ironically is as big as the guy in the video even though she doesn’t smoke!
They don’t make things like they used to do they. Thank God for that!
